KHARTOUM, Sudan - Sudanese rebels based in the Eritrean capital Asmara received a shock of their lifetime when the Eritrean government told them they wouldn’t leave for home before they pay $90 million, according to the Citizen.

Sudanese Presidential Advisor Dr. Mustafa Osman Ismael declared that the Eastern Front leadership would not return back from Asmara in the near future due to some financial problems with the Eritrean government.

A source told Citizens that Dr. Amna Dirar, deputy of the Eastern Front leader was unable to repay $90 million to the Eritrean government, an amount allegedly paid by the Eritrean government to Dr. Dirar for the use of the Front. He confirmed that the Eritrean government would not allow the front leadership to leave Eritrea before the money is paid.
