Minnawi offers condolences to Qatar leadership 

Darfur Governor, Minni Arko Minnawi posted the following on his Facebook page:

I extend my sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies to the leadership and people of the sisterly State of Qatar on the passing of the Father Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who dedicated his life to serving his nation and left a lasting legacy in the fields of giving and humanitarian work. The name of the State of Qatar is linked in the hearts of the Sudanese people, especially the people of the Darfur region, with noble stances that will never be forgotten, embodied in its sincere support during the most difficult trials, through the establishment of hospitals, schools, and health centers, and the provision of relief and aid to those affected. It was a support for our people when crises intensified for them. We ask God to have mercy on him and grant him a place in Paradise, and to inspire the leadership and people of the sisterly State of Qatar with patience and solace.

Indeed, we belong to God, and to Him we shall return.
