A joint statement by the QUAD – the US, UK, UAE and Saudi Arabia – called for the immediate restoration of a civilian-led government in Sudan.

The QUAD also urged the military to release those detained in connection to the takeover and lift the state of emergency imposed across the country since October 25.

The QUAD members also stress the importance of the commitment to the Constitutional Document and the Juba Peace Agreement as the foundation for further dialogue about how to restore and uphold a genuine civil-military partnership for the remainder of the transitional period, pending elections. “This will help ensure Sudan reaches political stability and economic recovery so that it is able to continue the transitional period with the support of Sudan’s friends and international partners,” today’s QUAD statement concludes.
