CAIRO — Sudanese authorities have found a mass grave believed to contain the bodies of 28 army officers shot in a foiled coup attempt against former President Omar al-Bashir in 1990, the public prosecutor said late Thursday.Al-Bashir’s repressive rule collapsed last year, when the military ousted him after months of street protests.
Al-Bashir, 76, who is already imprisoned for corruption and facing several other trials, appeared in court earlier this week over charges ofthat brought him to power. The trial is seen as a rare attempt at historical reckoning in Sudan, long convulsed by military coups, tumultuous party politics and civil strife.
The discovery of two mass graves, the one found earlier holding the bodies of student conscripts shot or beaten to death after trying to flee a military camp, were a reminder of the scale of alleged human rights violations during al-Bashir’s rule.
