Njengoba kunemiphumela enodlame yokuketulwa kombuso wase-Sudan, abesifazane ezweni bahamba phambili ekuphikisaneni nalokhu.

“Kuyingozi kakhulu. Impilo yami ayiphephile futhi umuzi wami ubhekwe ngamasosha ngaso sonke isikhathi,” kusho uSalah kuleli sonto, ngemuva kokuphoqwa ukuba acashe.
Abaningi basaba ukuthi lo mbuso omusha uzohlehlisa inqubekela phambili eyenziwe kumalungelo abantu besifazane kusukela ekuweni kombuso ka-al-Bashir.
