How has the world reacted to Sudan’s coup?

Many world leaders have condemned the military takeover in Sudan, and called for opposing parties to dialogue:

  • The African Union says it learnt with deep dismay about the events in Sudan and has called for the immediate resumption of dialogue between the military and civilians.
  • The United States says it’s deeply alarmed. The US special envoy for the Horn of Africa expressed support for the transitional government and said a coup would contravene the democratic aspirations of the Sudanese people.
  • The UN has condemned the coup. An envoy to Sudan said the detentions were unacceptable and called on all parties to immediately return to dialogue.
  • The Arab League said it was concerned for Sudan’s transition to civilian rule.
  • The European Union‘s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, called on all stakeholders and regional partners to put the process back on track.
