7/9/19: AFP – African Union lifts suspension of Sudan

AFP reports that the African Union has lifted its suspension of Sudan three months after freezing its membership following the June 3 massacre.

 The AU's Peace and Security Council said that the decision followed the announcement of Sudan's first cabinet since the ousting of veteran leader Omar Al Bashir.

 The move was hailed by AU Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki as "the beginning of a new era" for Sudan.
