Sudan's leader: I met Netanyahu to 'protect national security'

Sudan's leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said on Tuesday that his meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu the previous day was driven by his responsibility to protect the country's national security.

Burhan's first remarks about the meeting in Uganda, talks that surprised even Sudan's cabinet, came after he briefed the northeast African country's ruling sovereign council which he heads.
