Khartoum — The United Nations has condemned the coup attempt that took place in Sudan on Tuesday. Following is statement of its Representative in the country Volker Perthes.
In my capacity as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and Head of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan, I unequivocally condemn the attempted military coup at dawn today.
The United Nations condemns any attempt - whether a coup or otherwise - to undermine the democratic political transition process and the pluralistic nature of the state as stipulated in the constitutional declaration.
The United Nations rejects any calls for a military coup or the replacement of the transitional government with military rule.
I reiterate the United Nations' continued commitment to assist, advise and support inclusive civilian governance in Sudan.
I also want to stress the need for the continued commitment of all stakeholders to an inclusive transition process and to realize the aspirations of the Sudanese people towards a peaceful, stable and democratic future.
