AA / Ankara
The United Nations has expressed its concern at the current tense situation in Sudan, following the delay in signing a final agreement aimed at resolving the political crisis that has been raging for months in the country.
In a statement, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, called on the various parties to work to overcome the obstacles that hinder the transition to civilian rule.
Volker Turk called on all parties to “put aside their entrenched positions and personal interests, to focus on the common interests of the Sudanese people by redoubled efforts to restore a civilian-led government”.
“A lot of work has been done and many positive steps have been taken towards the signing of a final agreement. All efforts must now be made to put the political transition back on track,” it reads.
The UN official also urged “all parties to work together to overcome obstacles to security sector reform and avoid any further delays in signing the political agreement”.
He called on all parties to defuse tensions and refrain from violence.
“I have witnessed firsthand the fervent and impressive determination of the Sudanese people – especially the youth and women – to stand up for human rights, inclusive and civilian-led government, accountability and justice” , he added.
Last December, Sudan’s military and political forces signed a framework agreement to resolve the months-long crisis.
The signing of the final agreement was scheduled for April 6, but was further delayed. No new date has yet been revealed.
Sudan has not had a functioning government since October 2021, when the military ousted the transitional government of Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and declared a state of emergency, a decision denounced by political forces as a “coup d ‘military state’.
Sudan’s transition period, which began in August 2019, was due to end with elections in early 2024.
