The premier also held separate talks with members of the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change, a coalition of opposition political parties. Ethiopia’s Prime Minister expressed his country’s commitment to fostering peace in the region and called the conflicting parties to focus on unity as a prerequisite for restoring peace in Sudan. Sudan fell into political crisis in December when protests began against President Bashir. The African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council Thursday suspended Sudan’s participation from all activities of the bloc. It also underscored the need to preserve the peace and stability of Sudan and called on all Sudanese stakeholders to exercise maximum restraint and ease the increasing tension.
