US diplomat Boulos won't name 'at least 12 countries' involved in Sudan war

US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser on African and Arab affairs has said “at least 12 countries” are involved in the Sudan war but has declined to name them. Massad Boulos, whose son Michael is married to Trump’s daughter Tiffany, told the BBC’s Focus on Africa that “all of the neighbouring countries in the region are participating in one way or another, or facilitating certain acts” in the war. “As for the military support, this is done currently by all the neighbouring countries in addition to some other regional actors. This is really very sad,” Boulos said.
