10/4/19: UK, US and Norway Troika statement on the current unrest in Sudan

 The UK, US and Norway call on Sudanese authorities to release all political detainees, stop the use of violence against peaceful protesters, remove all restrictions to freedoms, lift the state of emergency and allow for a credible political dialogue.

 The Troika statement stated that the time has come for Sudan to respond to popular demands for a transition to an inclusive and legitimate political system “in a serious and credible way,” warning that failing to do so risks greater instability.

 The statement concludes by urging both the Sudanese authorities, and the opposition, to “embrace their responsibilities.”
