US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, stressed the need to restore the democratic transition in Sudan to its track. Blinken said in a press conference on Wednesday during his visit to Nairobi that restoring the democratic path begins with the return of civilian Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok to his position. He said Sudan would restore international support if the civilian government returned. US Assistant Secretary of State, Molly Phee, announced that she has met Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and discussed with him ways to restore the democratic transition in Sudan. I urge the international community to put pressure on Sudan to immediately stop the repression against civilians and respect their rights," the UN Special Rapporteur concludes.
