“Mr. Irfan’s frequent tweets…are contrary to established diplomatic norms,” a ministry spokesman told the Sudan News Agency on Wednesday.
Sudan’s military opened up with live ammunition on protesters in Khartoum two weeks ago, killing at least 13 people. The protesters had been camped outside the army’s headquarters, demonstrating against the military government that has ruled the country since authoritarian president Omar al-Bashir was ousted in April following mass protests.
The protesters and Sudan’s army chiefs have been stuck in a deadlocked negotiation over who should govern in a transitional period. The military said it would let protesters form a government but insists on maintaining authority during an interim period which is opposed by protesters.
Meanwhile, violence has gripped the troubled country. At least 19 children have been killed and another 49 injured since the government crackdown began earlier this month, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore claimed on Tuesday.
