22/9/2021: Radio Dabanga - International community denounces ‘attempts to undermine Sudan transition’

Radio Dabanga report that the UN, the African Union and the Sudan Troika condemned the coup attempt and expressed their support for Sudanese democratic transition. 

Volker Perthes, Head of the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS), said “I reiterate the UN’s continued commitment to assist, advise and support inclusive civilian governance in Sudan,” he said, referring to “the aspirations of the Sudanese people towards a peaceful, stable and democratic future”. 

The Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), Moussa Faki Mahamat, congratulated Sudanese with the coup’s failure, and stressed the need to adhere to the legitimate authorities.

The Sudan Troika (the US, UK, and Norway) expressed its strong support for the Sudanese transition.  “The civilian and military components – and indeed all political actors – should work together to prevent threats to the democratic transition, establish transitional institutions, and address tensions in the East and other regions,” said the Troika.
