Sudan's Former Leader Omar al-Bashir Transferred to Northern Hospital for Medical Care

The 80-year-old ex-president, suffering from age-related health issues, was moved from a military facility in Khartoum amid ongoing conflict.

Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's former president, has been moved to a better-equipped hospital in Merowe, 330 kilometers north of Khartoum.
Al-Bashir, who ruled Sudan for 30 years before being ousted in 2019, suffers from high blood pressure and other age-related health complications.
His lawyer confirmed that al-Bashir's condition is not critical but requires regular medical check-ups and follow-ups.
Former Defense Minister Abdel-Rahim Muhammad Hussein, also detained and suffering from heart issues, was transferred to the same facility.
The ongoing conflict between Sudan's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has caused significant casualties and displacement, with the war killing at least 20,000 people and displacing around 10 million.
