UN chief Antonio Guterres urges the Sudanese people to support reinstated PM Abdalla Hamdok so the country can have “a peaceful transition towards a true democracy”
Guterres said the judicial institutions of Sudan need to be established, so that the whole thing can work.
“But I would like to appeal for common sense. We have a situation which is, yes, not perfect, but which could allow for a transition towards democracy,” he said. Hamdok and more than 100 civilian government figures were detained. Guterres said the UN fought to free the prime minister. While reiterating that he understands the public outrage, Guterres warned that calling into question the solution that led to the prime minister’s reinstatement “would be very dangerous for Sudan.”
