EU wants Sudan’s transition ‘back on track’

The European Union has called on Sudan’s military and civilian leaders to put the country’s transition process “back on track”.

It follows reports that a military takeover is under way in Sudan.

EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell tweeted on Monday that he was following events in the country with “utmost concern”.

Sudan’s military has not commented on reports that civilian leaders, including Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, have been put under arrest by soldiers.
