US 'condemns actions' undermining democratic transition

The US embassy in Sudan's capital Khartoum called on Monday for those blocking the civilian-led transition to stand down.

In a tweet, it wrote that the US was "gravely concerned by reports that the armed forces have taken action against Sudan's civilian government, and condemns actions that are undermining Sudan's democratic transition."

"We call on all actors who are disrupting Sudan's transition to stand down, and allow the civilian-led transitional government to continue its important work to achieve the goals of the revolution," it added.
