UAE Hopes for Foundation of Sudan Constitutional System
The United Arab Emirates
congratulated Sudan on Friday after its military council and opposition reached
a power-sharing deal.
"We hope that the next phase
will witness the foundation of a constitutional system that will strengthen the
role of institutions with broad national and popular support," UAE
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said in a Twitter post.
He said the UAE would stand with
Khartoum in "good times and bad times.”
Sudan's ruling generals and protest
leaders reached an agreement on the disputed issue of a new governing body, in
a breakthrough power-sharing accord aimed at ending the country's months-long
political crisis.
"The two sides agreed on
establishing a sovereign council with a rotating military and civilian
(presidency) for a period of three years or little more," African Union
mediator Mohamed El Hacen Lebatt told reporters.
