Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir Wednesday stated that the Sudanese troops will remain in Yemen despite the tough economic situation his country is experiencing.
Al-Bashir received Saudi Assistant Minister of Defence Mohammad Abdullah Alayeesh who briefed him about the military developments in the war waged by the Saudi-led coalition.
In a statement released after the meeting, the presidency said al-Bashir reassured the visiting Saudi official that the difficult economic situation would not dissuade Sudan from playing a role in Yemen.
A Saudi-led coalition, which groups a number of Arab states, launched its military campaign against Yemen in March 2015 in a bid to reinstate the regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
According to the UN, the conflict has killed more than 10,000 people and left Yemen facing the “worst humanitarian crisis in the world”.
