The Arab League said it supports dialogue in Sudan, and calls for reducing all forms of tension in order to achieve the aspirations of Sudanese for a successful transitional process based on respect for constitutional documents and peace agreements signed over the past two years.
Arab League Assistant Secretary General Hossam Zaki affirmed the League’s full readiness to support the steps required from Sudan to achieve the power transition into democracy.
He also expressed his complete confidence in the wisdom of the Sudanese leaders and that they will succeed in overcoming all current challenges.
Zaki’s positions came during a two-day visit to Khartoum where he met several Sudanese officials and figures, namely Army chief Abdulfattah al-Burhan and the deposed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
ِAn Arab League statement delivered a message from the League's Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit to Burhan, asserting the organization's support of the transitional process in Sudan.
The Secretary-General called for continued partnership between the military and civil sides until the general elections are staged.
During Zaki's meetings with officials, Burhan stressed the Armed Forces' commitment to supporting the democratic transition of power and complete openness to regional efforts to support the Sudanese dialogue to achieve stability.
Burhan had announced that he would not participate in any government formed after a transitional period and denied that the army was responsible for killing protesters.
"We will honor our pledge, the pledge we made to the people and the international community, that we are committed to completing the transition, holding the elections as scheduled, and respecting all political activities, as long as they remain peaceful and in line with the constitution and the active parts of the Constitutional Declaration," announced Burhan.
The Arab League delegation discussed with Hamdok the challenges facing the transitional process and the ongoing efforts to support constructive dialogue between the various components.
For his part, head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), General Mohamed Hamdan 'Hemeti' Dagalo, said that the decisions Burhan made aim to rectify the course of the people's revolution and preserve the country's security and stability.
Hemeti reiterated his commitment to the democratic transition in Sudan, the completion of the transition process, and preserving the country's security.
