Ministry of Information: Legal Action Against Individuals Behind Disinformation Campaign

Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
The Ministry of Information and Communications has reaffirmed that the government institutions are continuing to perform their duties and implement their programs according to their national priorities and announced plans.
In a statement published by its press office on Sunday, the Ministry emphasized that the minisry reserves the right to take the necessary legal action against anyone proven to be involved in producing, publishing, or promoting misleading content aimed at deceiving public opinion.
The statement condemned the circulation of a forged image of the Prime Minister, captioned: “The Prime Minister inaugurates sweets and pastry shops in the Amarat neighborhood.” It added: “This image is false and fabricated, produced or manipulated using AI techniques, and bears no relation to reality.”
The statement explained that this type of repeated disinformation aims to create an unrealistic image portraying the government as detached from the concerns of the people, and its leaders as preoccupied with superficial matters. He pointed out that the Hope Government had only been in office for a year and inherited a devastated reality resulting from the misguided policies, practices, and failures of successive regimes over seventy years. It was not a party to this destruction, but rather is working under exceptional and unprecedented circumstances to rectify this reality, which it inherited as a legacy, not one created by it.
The statement indicated that the government is working according to a well-considered development plan and methodology that lays the foundations for the future, starting from scratch, given the devastation left by the war and the exceptional circumstances created by the same political forces that manage these online campaign and are—unfortunately—working to destroy Sudan in collusion with mercenary militias and the countries that support them.
