The Sudanese Foreign Ministry summoned today the Charge d'Affaires of the Libyan Embassy in Khartoum against the backdrop of the killing of Sudanese citizens in the last days in the eastern city of Benghazi under the control of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter.
The Sudanese News Agency reported that the Director General of Consular Affairs at the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, Ambassador Khaled Mahmoud, conveyed to the Libyan Charge d'Affaires the concern and condemnation of the Sudanese government and citizens for the crimes that contradict the good brotherly relations between the two countries and the two peoples.
The ambassador called on the Libyan authorities to do what is necessary to arrest the perpetrators as soon as possible and bring them to trial, and to provide protection and security for all Sudanese citizens in Libya.
Al-Jazeera correspondent Ahmed Khalifa quoted local sources from the eastern city of Benghazi found in the Hawari area southwest of the city on a Sudanese woman killed and the body of the marks of torture and shooting in the head.
The sources said that the victim, named Zainab al-Hindawia, who has lived in Benghazi with her family for 40 years, was taken by force by gunmen wearing military uniforms from her work in Mazin women in the city and was later found dead.
The Sudanese woman was found just days after the body of another Sudanese woman, Aisha Younis, was found dumped near the cement factory in Al-Hawari area.
The sources said there were unconfirmed reports of the death of a third Sudanese in the city.
