Mon 25 October 2021:
On Monday, the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) urged all parties in Sudan to adhere to a power-sharing agreement outlining the country’s democratic transition.
The Sudanese military detained Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok and several transitional government ministers on Monday.
According to the Information Ministry, Hamdok was arrested by armed forces after refusing to support a “coup.”
The Arab League, based in Cairo, voiced deep concern about developments in Sudan in a tweet, calling on all parties to fully implement the August 2019 Constitutional Declaration.
“It is important to respect all decisions and agreements that were agreed regarding the transitional period until elections are held,” Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Abul-Gheit said.
He underlined the need to “refrain from taking any measures that could disrupt the transitional period or shake stability in Sudan.”
The OIC, meanwhile, called on all Sudanese parties to “commit to the constitutional document regarding the transitional period.”
“Dialogue is the way to overcome differences in order to give priority to the supreme interest of the Sudanese people and achieve their aspirations for security, stability, development and prosperity,” OIC Secretary-General Yousef Al-Othaimeen added in a statement.
