Consultations of civil and military representatives of Sudan will begin in the near future, said Special Protection and the head of the UN mission in Sudan Volker Pergestoes. This reports Reuters.
Perret said that consultations in order to start direct negotiations on the exit from the political crisis in the country after the October coup must begin on Monday, January 10. “We want to act quickly. Today we are starting with the first group of representatives of civil society. We will have many interested parties every day with which we will talk,” the head of the mission added.
Speccera believes that if the arrangement for the organization of honest and free elections will not be achieved, the country is waiting for the aggravation of instability and negative economic situation. “I really hope that these consultations can be something like measures to strengthen confidence [to a democratic process] and will help at least reduce the level of violence,” said Perret.
January 3 it became known that the Prime Minister of Sudan Abdalla Hampok resigns. He told that he leaves this place “to other sons and daughters of the Motherland, so that they continue to manage the country, having passed with her the time that remained from the transition period, in the direction of the civil, democratic state.”
An unsuccessful attempt of a military coup, which was undertaken in September 2021, threw the transition to free democratic elections. After overthrowing in 2019 the Islamist dictator of Omar al-Bashir, the military agreed to divide power with civilians, as a result of which the sovereign council of Sudan was created. In October, during the mass protests, the authorities completely transferred to the civil government.
