27/9/19: UN News - Sudan at the start of ‘long road to recovery’, UN chief tells high-level meeting

 UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that the UN remains committed to supporting Sudan’s new government during the transitional period.

 Guterres expressed optimism that under Hamdok’s leadership, the transitional government will be able to “strengthen governance and the rule of law, uphold human rights, and set the country on a path towards economic recovery”.

 Guterres also called for supportive measures from the international community to aid Sudan’s progress: removing Sudan’s designation by some nations as a sponsor of terrorism, lifting economic sanctions, and mobilizing massive financial support for development, to make the current political gains durable.
