Sudan?s Bashir replaces intelligence chief
Bashir issued a presidential decree announcing Salah Abdallah Mohammed Salih as the new head of the country?s National intelligence and Security Service (NISS), Suna said, without providing further details. Salih, widely known as Salih Ghosh, previously headed NISS and was replaced by his then deputy Atta in August 2009. Atta?s removal came after he returned this week from Cairo where he was part of a Sudanese delegation that held talks with Egyptian officials on several issues including security. In recent weeks NISS has been leading a crackdown on sporadic opposition protests that have erupted since early January against rising food prices. Protesters have taken to the streets after bread prices increased on the back of a government decision to leave wheat imports to the private sector that triggered a sharp rise in the cost of flour. NISS agents and anti-riot police have swiftly broken up these rallies held in Khartoum and some other parts of the country. The agency has also arrested several senior leaders of opposition groups since January in a bid to prevent the protests from spreading.The authorities have detained several journalists covering the protests. Most of them have now been released. "The NISS seems to be arresting just about any journalist it can catch," Paris-based media watchdog Reporters Without Borders said in a statement this week. "This wave of arrests and confiscations of newspapers since the start of the year is unprecedented." Under Atta, NISS stepped up its overall crackdown on opposition activists and anti-government media coverage. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Sudan?s Bashir replaces intelligence chief || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
