Two suspected poachers have been shot dead in a shootout with Zimbabwe rangers, near the Kazungula border post in Matabeleland North province. A lawyer of former Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir, has said his client has been moved from a hospital where he has been since war broke out in the country in April last year to "a secure military site".
Three other suspects were arrested and one of them managed to escape during Tuesday's incident, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) spokesperson, Tinashe Farawo, posted on X (formerly Twitter) platform. Mohamed al-Hassan al-Amin told Sudan Tribune news website that the former leader, alongside four others, have been transferred from the Medical Corps after health care there "ran out completely".
“We have recovered about 15 tusks of elephants, a point 375 rifle and five rounds of ammunition," Mr Farawo said, adding that Investigations were in progress. Mr Bashir, who had been convicted for corruption and was facing trial for leading a military coup in 1989, was receiving treatment at a military hospital in Omdurman city that came under siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The incident comes barely two months after six elephants were killed by poisoning before their tusks were removed by suspected poachers in Shangani Wildlife Conservancy, which is close to Hwange National Park. Sudan’s regional and international partners have failed to mediate between the army and RSF throughout the war that has killed at least 14,000 people and displaced about 10 million others.
Wildlife conservationists have called for stiffer poaching regulations in Zimbabwe.
