Ethiopia's prime minister urged "courage" as he met Friday with Sudan's ruling generals and opposition leaders to try to ease the political crisis that has gripped Sudan since the overthrow of longtime President Omar al-Bashir. Upon arriving in Khartoum, Abiy Ahmed conferred with the ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC), including TMC chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan. In a statement following the talks, the Ethiopian prime minister called on the Sudanese people and political forces to show "courage" and move quickly toward a democratic, inclusive transition. There was no sign Friday, however, of a revival of talks between Sudan's military and opposition. On Thursday, the African Union said it had suspended Sudan from all activities until a civilian-led government was formed.
