Sudan reconsidering role in Saudi war on Yemen: MinisterTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_“Currently, there is a revision of the whole war in Yemen, even among the coalition's principal countries, and there is an opinion that military activities will not solve the problem, and will likely to compound it," Information Minister Faisal Mohamed Salih said Sunday.

Khartoum, however, would not be able to suddenly pull out of the six-year-old war and would instead be gradually reducing troops, he told an African Union summit in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. 

"We think that the current efforts will soon lead to a decrease in combat activities, which will be replaced by negotiations," Salih added. 

Late last year, Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok announced that his country had cut the number of troops participating in the conflict from 15,000 to 5,000.
