Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir declared a state of emergency for one year and called a national dialogue amid political crisis in the north African country.
"It’s better for all Sudanese to solve any problems through dialogue," al-Bashir said Friday in a televised address from the capital, Khartoum. “Civil and armed opposition” should come to the dialogue, he said.
