United Nations:The UN has voiced concern over a possible escalation of tensions in Sudan.
“What we’re seeing now is very concerning — these reports of a continued build-up and mobilisation of various security forces. We’re seeing that in Khartoum. We’re seeing that in other cities in Sudan,” said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, on Friday.
A calm situation and sustained commitment to democratic transition are essential as negotiations proceed, he told a daily press briefing.
“We, along with the African Union, with IGAD (the Intergovernmental Authority for Development) and the Trilateral Mechanism, are engaging all stakeholders to calm these tensions and secure a political agreement as soon as possible to see a return to a civilian-led transition,” he added.
