Sudan's opposition denounces Morsi coup

Sudan's Islamist opposition leader, Hassan al-Turabi denounced  the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi on Thursday, describing is as a "coup against legitimacy". Al-Turabi said that Morsi had become a victim of a coalition of the army, Christians and "liberals who believe in democracy for themselves but not for others." "This is a coup against the constitution, against the legitimacy," Turabi told reporters. "He was the first democratically elected leader. He issued a constitution which the people wanted." Sudan's government, however, gave a cautious response to Morsi's ousting, describing it as "domestic affair" for Egypt. "Sudan calls on all parties in Egypt to make as a priority to preserve Egypt's stability and security, peace and unity of its people," Sudan’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
