Scores of gov'ts, organisations support Khartoum against failed coup attempt
Khartoum, Sudan (PANA) - The Sudanese government on Thursday expressed its gratitude for the support it has received from various governments and organisations following last Tuesday's failed coup attempt.
A press release by the Council of Ministers said the government expresses its appreciation for the stance of the international community towards the failed coup attempt.
Meanwhile a group of western Arab and European states known as the “Friends of Sudan” has condemned the failed coup attempt seeking to undermine Sudan's peaceful political transition.
The group from France, Germany, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union and the United Nations.
The group condemned the attempted disruption of Sudan’s civilian-led transition by rogue military elements in Khartoum.
“Any attempt to destabilise or undermine Sudan’s political transition and the democratic and pluralistic nature of the State as defined by the Constitutional Declaration will not be supported by the international community,” it said.
The group said said in a press statement that such attempts jeopardise the significant progress Sudan has made on its political, economic and legal reform processes to build a new Sudan.
They also undermine Sudan’s hard-won gains to fully re-join the international community and its commitment to a democratic state that respects international norms.
“We call on all to respect the aspirations of the Sudanese people for a peaceful, stable and democratic future by remaining committed to an orderly, inclusive civilian-led and peaceful transitional process under the rule of law.
“The Friends of Sudan reaffirm their commitment to supporting the gains of the revolution and the civilian-led transitional process in Sudan," the statement said.
