Statement of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission on the situation in Sudan
Addis Ababa, 12 November 2021: The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, has continued to monitor political developments in Sudan following the military takeover on 25 October 2021, and in particular, the recent appointment of a new Sovereign Council.
The Chairperson notes with regret that political actors are still far from reaching consensus on a democratic transition thereby not responding to the aspirations of the people of Sudan in line with the AU Peace and Security Council at its 1041th meeting of 26 October 2021.
The Chairperson reiterate his calls to the military authorities of Sudan to engage without further delay, in a political process leading to the return of constitutional order in line with the Constitutional Decree agreed on August 2019 and the Juba Agreement for Peace in Sudan of 3 October 2020.
The Chairperson will deploy an emissary to Sudan in the very near future as requested by Peace and Security Council to encourage all stakeholders to urgently reach a political solution to this new crisis in the country.
