...army's chief investigator, who had prepared the case against Shennan and Moheiddin. Shennan haughtily denied that he would have confided in a 26-year-old captain ("He was not of my age, my rank, my standing"), and accused former top officials of "trying to sell out the Sudan to foreigners-the Americans...
