The Sudanese government announced on Monday its readiness to hold dialogue with any party in order to reach just peace.
Acting Foreign Minister Hussein Awad said: “We are ready to sit down for peace negotiations. Our only condition is adhering to the agreements reached in Jeddah.”
He stressed that the government was ready for talks with all the Sudanese people and parties to form a clear vision that would shape the next phase in the country and form a civilian government.
In turn, the government would pave the way for elections for people to choose their representatives and the army will guarantee that the polls are held, he told a press conference in Port Sudan.
Moreover, he renewed government assertions that the United Arab Emirates embassy in Khartoum was not targeted in an attack.
He said the government has evidence that the mission was not attacked by its forces.
The UAE embassy is the only mission that the Rapid Support Forces have not attacked or looted, Awad stressed, pledging to protect the Emirates’ mission in Port Sudan.
On the ground, witnesses said army jets carried out a raid on the town of Abu Hajjar in Sennar state, leaving dozens of women, children and elderly dead.
