For the second day in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, the demonstrations condemning the UAE's "recruitment" of hundreds of Sudanese youth and sending them to Yemen and Libya as fighters continued. The Sudanese Foreign Ministry expressed its concern for the safety of the Sudanese youth who were brought in by an Emirati company and then violated the agreed terms.

On Tuesday noon hundreds of protesters broke a military cordon, and arrived at the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs carrying a memorandum demanding the return of Sudanese youths who, according to them, were "deceived" in civilian jobs, before being sent to military destinations and sites in Libya and Yemen, as the memo said.

This comes, while 50 young men from Abu Dhabi from hundreds of Sudanese youth who traveled to the UAE to work as security guards have arrived, but large numbers of them have been sent to Libya and Yemen to work there.
