Sudan’s ambassador to US vows to oppose coup in Khartoum
The United States is coordinating with Gulf states on messaging in hopes of avoiding bloodshed in Sudan.
Sudan’s ambassador to the United States said in a statement today that he and other Sudanese envoys abroad would “resist” a military coup that deposed his country’s civilian-led transitional government on Monday.
Nureldin Satti, who is based in Washington, condemned the military’s takeover led by Lt. Gen. Abdel Fatah al-Burhan.
“I am happy to see that my colleagues in Brussels, Paris, Geneva and New York have followed suit and condemned the military coup, and we will work with my other colleagues in the diplomatic corps and abroad to resist the military coup in support of the heroic struggle of the Sudanese people to achieve the goals of the December 19, 2018 revolution,” Satti said in a statement.
Sudan’s military arrested top civilian leaders from the country’s transitional government on Monday.
