Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied reports that several diplomats at the Sudanese Embassy in Dublin had submitted asylum applications in Ireland.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the ministry asserted that the Sudanese Embassy in Dublin confirmed the claims were “false and baseless.” The embassy emphasized that all mission members remain committed to their official duties and to representing Sudan in accordance with diplomatic norms and conventions. It further noted that the embassy continues to operate at full diplomatic and administrative capacity.
The statement also clarified that Ambassador Adel Youssef Banga and Ambassador Omar Ork Al-Deen — whose names were mentioned in the fabricated media reports — had already completed their terms at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon reaching retirement age in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, Counselor Mohamed Mousa Al-Bashir, the former acting chargé d’affaires, has completed his mission in Dublin and is preparing to return to service within Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
