Sudan’s military leader Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has called for the United Nations to support the transitional government. Gen Burhan met the UN 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. Gen Burhan says he will co-operate with reinstated civilian Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and support the transitional government he forms until elections are held. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the African Union Commission chairperson Moussa Faki have urged the public to support the deal for the return to a peaceful democracy.
