Sudan’s military leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has called for the United Nations to support the transitional government. Burhan on Thursday met the United Nations special representative to the country, Volker Perthes, who said that despite welcoming the deal for a return to constitutional order, other critical steps need to follow without elaborating.
The military leader has said he will co-operate with reinstated civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and support the transitional government he forms until elections are held. A coup led by the military leader in October led to the overthrow of the transitional government and the ousting of Hamdok.
Hamdok was however reinstated in November after signing a deal.
