UN to hold Sudan talks to end crisis after coup

KHARTOUM, 09 January 2022, (TON): The United Nations said “Saturday it will launch talks to help Sudan find an end to the crisis following a military coup that stalled the transition to civilian rule.”

UN special envoy Volker Perthes said in a statement “it is time to end the violence and enter into a constructive process.”

Later, the UN said a news conference would be held on Monday “to mark the official launching of the intra-Sudanese Talks on Democracy and Transition”.

Sudan has been shaken by pro-democracy protests and a deadly crackdown by security forces since General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan mounted the October 25 takeover that dismantled a fragile power-sharing agreement between the military and civilians.
