The workers were digging under the embassy building in Khartoum when they came across skulls and bones that belong to what appears to be three skeletons.

The embassy staff contacted the police who examined the remains and determined that they are more than three centuries old.

The police took the skeletons and is believed to be arranging for re-burying them to conform with Islamic rules.

Khartoum was founded in 1824 after the invasion by the Ottoman Empire as a garrison for the soldiers.

    Sudanese workers uncover skeletons from British embassy
    Bullshit!

    President Bashir already kill 300,000 Durfurian and unestimated number from South, yet three dead or even more discoveries are still coming from the capital khartoum itself what a joke! Did anyone Inform Ocampo about this discovey? Then what are you doing Ocampo? this man is dangerous take him away. what is the advantage of allowing him to kill himself enough people before being taken? I ‘m sure 100% those skeletons are from what Al Bashir call internal enemies either from South Sudan or Durfurian people not from the time of Mahadist war, because we got a very powerfull ants in Sudan that can eat any solid material place underground including metal. they would have been eaten up if they were from three centuries ago. therefore those three dead need to be add in 300,000 killed by Omar with his’s pro-militias Janjeweeds to make up 303,000 that should be enough for the ICC to ask for another affidavit.
