President Burhan blamed the Africa Union (AU) for putting sanctions on Sudan without even bothering to send a fact-finding commission to explain what they called a military coup, yet it was just a leadership disagreement that required political reorganization during the transition period.

He called for support to lift all sanctions on Sudan, and gave assurances that the stakeholders have reached an agreement and that he would wish that the delegations don’t leave Sudan until Saturday or Sunday to witness the signing of the agreement that will lead to the formation of the transitional government, which shall organize the general elections that the president promised.

Gen. Burhan, who was in a jovial mood, assured the Council of Ministers that soon the whole world would witness his commitment to the stability of his country, Sudan.

Ambassador Dr. Ssemuddu, who represented Uganda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, delivered a message from His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who is committed to peace, stability, and progress in the Sudan.


 

He said H.E. The President wishes Gen. Burhan success in his endeavor to stabilize his country and encourages him to promote unity while discouraging the politics of identity and sectarianism. That he stands with the people of Sudan with unwavering support and commitment to work together in ensuring all sanctions are lifted against Sudan and any other member state, as together, we further the fight to combat terrorism, human trafficking, and arms smuggling and build successful and unconventional economic partnerships.
