Protesters in Port Sudan want UN envoy to leave
Mr Perthes and other UN staff moved to Port Sudan from the capital, Khartoum, days after the fighting between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese army erupted on 15 April.
“The masses of the Red Sea state surrounded Volker’s residence and demanded his immediate expulsion from the state,” Tayba TV channel reported.
In a series of tweets, the TV channel showed images and a video of people carrying placards and waving Sudanese flags.
The tweets received mixed reactions, with some users calling for Mr Perthe’s expulsion as others denounced the demonstrations.
Pro-military and Islamist groups have held several protests against Mr Perthes in the past. He also recently received death threats from Sudanese extremists.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres allowed the staff to move to Port Sudan but said that “the UN [was] not leaving”.
