Sudan's military leaders launch 'manhunt' for suspected sources after CNN gold investigation sparks protests
CNN
Sudan's military authorities have launched a "manhunt" for people suspected of providing information to CNN for an investigation that exposed Russia's plundering of gold in the African nation, according to multiple former and current officials.
Relatives were also threatened in a bid to silence suspected leakers. One source said authorities were "harassing us, harassing the people we love, desperately hunting for leaders. It's a clear message. Authorities are scared and they're responding in the only way they know how: with violence."
Thousands of protesters rallied in the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Sunday calling for an end to military rule following the CNN investigation, accusing Sudan's military leadership of being "thieving soldiers."
President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
