Sudanese media report the transfer of former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to intensive care, and his health condition is serious.

The Sudanese newspaper "Al-Tayyar" explained that al-Bashir's family submitted a request to visit him, and the court approved it, due to his health condition.

Al-Bashir has been confined for months at Alia Military Hospital in Omdurman city, amid his health struggles.

The former Sudanese president, along with some former officials from his government, had been held in Kober prison on the outskirts of the capital Khartoum since 2019, before his health worsened in previous periods and he contracted the novel coronavirus.

Al-Bashir and officials from the previous regime are being tried in several cases, including the case of the coup against the legitimate authority that al-Bashir carried out in 1989.

A popular revolution ended President Omar al-Bashir's rule on April 11, 2019, while a court in the same year convicted him of corruption, sentencing him to more than two years in prison and confiscating funds that were at his residence in Khartoum.
