Khartoum-The Editor-in-Chief of the Sudan’s Communist Party mouthpiece al-Midan newspaper, Madiha Abdella, announced that Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) have suspended the newspaper.
Sudan's constitution guarantees press freedom but the NISS has clamped down on independent and even pro-government media if they criticize the government.
"The security services have issued a publication ban by ordering our printing and distribution firms to stop dealing with us," said Madiha Abdella
"This is the end of the printed newspaper," she said, adding that the paper would offer an online version and file a lawsuit against the government.
Last week, the NISS suspended the pro-government al-Intibaha and Al-Mighar Al-Syasi newspapers
