The government of war-torn Sudan has informed IGAD that it is suspending its membership in the east Africa bloc, the foreign ministry, which is loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said Saturday.
Khartoum had already announced this week that it was freezing its relations with IGAD ahead of a meeting of the bloc in Uganda on Thursday after it had invited Burhan's rival, paramilitary chief Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, to the gathering.
