The Troika (the United States, United Kingdom and Norway) expresses its strong support for Sudan’ transition, and rejects any attempts to derail or disrupt the Sudanese people’s efforts to establish a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous future.
Prime Minister Hamdok said his government would “take immediate measures to fortify the transition and continue to dismantle the system of the former regime, which still poses a threat to the transition”.
Mr Hamdok said several days of unrest in Port Sudan in the east of the country were also part of a plot to destabilise the country.
There has been tension within the Sovereign Council which is supposed to be overseeing a return to civilian rule.
“We’re not going back… there are people trying to turn back the hands of time,” said Information Minister Hamza Baloul in a statement read earlier on state TV.
He added that “forces of darkness were targeting the revolution” started by mass popular protests against then-President Bashir, but said government bodies would be the “first line of defence” protecting Sudan’s transition.
