National Security Chief visits Sudanese Communist party leader: SUNA

KHARTOUM, April 7, 2005 (SUNA) — The Director General of the National Security and Intelligence Organ Maj. Gen. Salah Abdallah, accompanied by his deputy Maj. Gen. Mohamed Atta paid a visit Thursday afternoon to Secretary General of the Sudanese Communist Party Mohamed Ibrahim Nugud at his hiding place at Al-Fardos quarter, Block 58, south of Khartoum.

SUNA learnt that the Director General of the National Security and Intelligence Organ and his deputy told Nugud that there was no justification for his hiding and that he was not wanted by the authorities and that the security organs had been knowing his permanent and temporary places of residence and that he could move in full freedom and contribute in all political and social activities.

The visit took place at 05:00 p.m. and lasted for about an hour, during which a cordial talk took place between the Director General of the National Security and Intelligence Organ and his deputy and Nugud.

Nugud has remained in hiding since the advent of the “National Salvation Revolution” on June 30, 1989.

It was reported that his hiding had taken place by a resolution from the Central Committee of the Sudanese Communist Party.

The National Salvation leaderships made calls in many occasions to the leaderships of the opposition political parties including Nugud to return to the political arena and practice their activities publicly because there is no justification for their stay abroad or underground inside Sudan.
