Coup d’etat in Sudan: Any violent repression of protests “unacceptable”

A few hours before the start of the mass mobilizations to which almost all the political forces and unions have called against the military coup in Sudan, The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, stated that the Sudanese security forces must respect human rights and that any violent repression of citizens who will demonstrate today (30/10) will be “unacceptable”.

The head of US diplomacy stressed via Twitter that Washington stands by “Sudanese people in nonviolent struggle for democracy”.

Opponents of the generals who seized power have called on mass mobilizations across the country on Saturday 30/10 with a central demand for the restoration to power of a transitional government led by citizens, so that the African country is back on the road to democracy after decades of authoritarian rule.

UN: Calls on the army not to violently suppress the mobilizations

His special agent United Nations in the Sudan, The Volker Pertes, reported late Friday night (29/10) via Twitter that she met with him Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, its head Rapid Reaction Force (RRF), to call on him to avoid the violent suppression of the mass mobilizations to which practically all political parties and unions have called today Saturday (30/10) throughout the country.

The Sudanese take to the streets practically every day to protest against the military coup that took place on Monday (25/10), despite the fact that there is a violent repression that has claimed the lives of at least eight people, according to international media.
