The British embassy in Sudan published a report on Twitter today, saying that the British ambassador to Khartoum, Irfan Siddiq, had held a breakfast in front of his house, called by passersby, and exchanged conversations with them.
"I am happy to host a street breakfast outside the headquarters of the British mission, which was attended by a number of passers-by. It was an authentic Sudanese experience, and for the first time I prayed for the first time since I assumed the post of ambassador to Sudan."
Irfan Siddiq was appointed British ambassador to Sudan in April 2018, replacing former ambassador Michael Aron. Ambassador Siddig had previously held diplomatic posts in Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo and other capitals and joined the British Foreign Office in 1998.
Sudan has always been characterized by street puffs, which add to Ramadan a purely Sudanese atmosphere. |
The tweet of the British embassy in Sudan was greeted by the reaction of dozens of fans on Twitter. The interaction between praising the initiative from the British representative in Sudan ranged from a joke, one of which said, "Ambassador de la Visa Schengen."
"And yes Ambassador and humility." Some questioned whether the British ambassador was a Muslim, and others replied that he was.
After breakfast, Ambassador Irfan made a prayer and prayed to attend the Maghrib prayer in congregation. |
A delegation from the German Embassy in Khartoum visited the protestors before the General Command of the Army in central Khartoum, and a video on the social media showed members of the delegation - under the leadership of Holger Tillman, deputy head of the mission - and they participated in the cheering, singing and dancing.
The protestors - who have been holding a sit-in for more than a month to demand the transfer of power to a civilian administration - have visited several diplomatic delegations from foreign embassies accredited to Khartoum to support their demands, including US Chargé d'Affaires Stephen Coates.
