August 12, 2016 (KHARTOUM) - Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir has
issued a decision to close all the businesses in the country linked to
the Turkish opponent Fethullah Gulen who is accused of orchestrating a
failed coup last month.

The decision comes less than a week after a public call launched by
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the Sudanese authorities during his
address by telephone to a rally organized in Khartoum in support of
his government on Sunday 7 August.
Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour told Al-Sudani daily that al-Bashir
signed a presidential decision to convert the schools linked to Gulen
to become attached to the ministry of education. He further said the
decision also provided to shut down all the businesses of Gulen.
On 4 August, Sudanese President decided to close the schools run by
Fethullah Gulen in Sudan.
Also, Ghandour dismissed rumours that there are some 20 companies
linked to Gulen in Sudan, adding their number "is much less than
that".
The minister was reacting to statements by the head of Sudanese
Turkish Friendship Society Fatih Ali Hussein who spoke last Tuesday
about 20 companies linked to Gulen in Sudan.
Turkish government accuses the U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah
Gulen of being behind the July 15 coup attempt in which at least 246
people were killed. But, the exiled Islamic opponent denies any
involvement in the aborted putsch.
Last Wednesday, Erdogan warned that Turkey would sever relations with
the United States if they didn’t hand over Gulen.
"Sooner or later the U.S. will make a choice. Either Turkey or FETO,"
Erdogan said, referring to Fethullah Gulen, who is living in
Pennsylvania.
