SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Tensions between civilian and military govt components continue despite mediation efforts
Radio Dabanga report that tensions between the military and civilian members of the Sudanese government continue despite the efforts of the head of the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS), Volker Perthes, to mediate between the two.
Perthes said the UN was ready to hold comprehensive dialogue between the partners of the transitional period, calling on Sudan’s ruling partners to reduce escalation and media exchanges and focus on dialogue and cooperation instead.
Meanwhile, protests erupted across Sudan - in Khartoum, al-Gadarif, North Kordofan, Darfur, the Red Sea, Northern and White Nile states – in solidarity with the Empowerment Removal Committee after the joint forces’ guards were withdrawn from their office. The committee’s office in Central Darfur was plundered after the removal of guards.
