Bujumbura - The International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) urged, this Monday, the Sudanese civil and military authorities to promote dialogue to solve the political crisis aggravated by the recent coup d'état in Sudan.

According to a statement, which has reached ANGOP, ICGLR became aware of the worrying development of the political transition process in the Republic of Sudan, which resulted in the arrest of the Prime Minister, Abdallah Hamdock, members of the Government and civil society, as well as the suspension of access to the Internet and other media.

 

ICGLR calls for the immediate release of all those detained following the referred events, appealing also for strict respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

 

The Conference members also urge the civil and military authorities of Sudan to invest in dialogue, always with reference to the Constitutional Charter for the transition period, signed on 4 August 2019.

 

The Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço, as Acting President of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), has developed intense diplomatic activity in favour of regional stability and security.

 

Finally, the ICGLR calls on the Sudan Armed Forces to pledge a commitment to lead the democratic transition until free, fair and transparent elections are held in July 2023 for the transfer of power to a democratically elected civilian government.

 

In addition to Angola; Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Kenya and Republic of Congo are also members of the ICGLR.

 

Situation in Sudan

Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the general leading the coup, announced the dissolution of the Sovereign Council that was ruling the country since the fall of Omar al-Bashir.

 

In a live stream public speech, the general said that disputes between political factions had led the military to intervene and that a new technocratic government would lead the country through to the elections.
