Sudan’s former PM dies of COVID-19

Former Sudanese Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi has died from coronavirus infection. He was 84. In a brief statement, al-Mahdi’s family said he died on Thursday, three weeks after being admitted to hospital in the United Arab Emirates. Al-Mahdi was Sudan’s last democratically elected prime minister and was overthrown in 1989 in the military coup that brought former President Omar al-Bashir to power.
