CAIRO – 26 October 2021: The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) will hold Tuesday evening an extraordinary closed session on the developments in Sudan, as reported by Sky News Arabia.

 

The session is the request of six countries, which are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, the United States, Estonia, and France.  

 

Head of the Sudanese Sovereign Council, Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced Monday the state of emergency all over the country, the dissolution of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council and the government, and the suspension of some articles of the constitutional document for the transitional period in Sudan.

 

Burhan said that a number of the political forces incited chaos and violence, and started to fight each other, which threatens Sudan’s security. He pledged commitment to the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement, and to the transition process until handing over the authority to a newly elected government by June 2023.
