October 4, Port Sudan — On Thursday, The African Peace and Security Council delegation, headed by Mohamed Jad, the Egyptian delegate to the African Union (AU), held a discussion with Sudanese Army Commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, about lifting the freeze on Sudan’s membership in the African organization, according to a statement by the Transitional Sovereignty Council.
In June 2019, the African Union Peace and Security Council suspended the participation of Sudan in all AU activities.
The delegation, which is currently visiting Port Sudan, held meetings with a number of Sudanese officials, headed by Burhan.“ The African Peace and Security Council will seek to establish peace in Sudan, ceasefire, and support facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Sudanese people,” Jad said.
He said that the explanations provided by Al-Burhan to the delegation of the African Peace and Security Council helped in understanding the dimensions of the Sudanese crisis.
“The African Union’s disregard for the crisis that the Sudanese people are experiencing is due to its lack of knowledge of the reality of this crisis,” Burhan said. “We still see that the African Union’s description of what happened on October 25th as a coup is inaccurate and contradicts the facts.”
