Sudan’s army call for unconditional talks with protesters
Sudan’s military council is urging protest leaders
to resume negotiations on the transition of power, but says talks “should not
be preconditioned.”
Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the council, says
Wednesday the council has no preconditions for returning to the negotiating
table with the Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, which has
represented protesters.
He says: “We do not deny their role in the uprising
and the popular revolution ... , but the solution should be satisfactory to all
Sudanese factions.”
Burhan warned of another coup as the country “cannot
afford being without a government,” more than three months after the military
ousted autocratic president Omar al-Bashir in April.
Talks between the military and the FDFC were
suspended earlier this month after security forces broke up a protest sit-in.
