The United Nations says it will hold talks in Sudan aimed at salvaging a fragile democratic transition. The announcement comes amid a grinding stalemate following an October coup and the prime minister’s resignation last week.
People chant slogans during a protest to denounce the October 2021 military coup, in Khartoum, Sudan, Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022. Sudanese took to the streets in the capital, Khartoum, and other cities on Thursday in anti-coup protests as the country plunged further into turmoil following the resignation of the prime minister earlier this week.
The U.N. offer came a week after embattled Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok resigned, citing the failure to reach a compromise between the military and the pro-democracy movement. “It is time to end the violence and enter into a constructive process. This process will be inclusive,” he said.Perthes said key players in Sudan, including the military, rebel groups, political parties and protest movements will be invited to take part in the process, as well as civil society and women’s groups.The pro-democracy movement said it has yet to receive details of the U.N.
Hamdok was ousted in the coup only to be reinstated a month later following a deal with the military meant to calm tensions and anti-coup protests. He resigned Jan. 2, amid ongoing deadlock.
