KHARTOUM, Oct 29 ― The United States and United Nations dialled up the pressure on Sudan's new military junta yesterday as confrontations between soldiers and anti-coup protesters took the death toll to at least 11.
“The events of recent days are a grave setback, but the United States will continue to stand with the people of Sudan and their non-violent struggle,” said Biden, whose government has frozen aid. He said that the army is negotiating with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok of the now dissolved transitional council to form the new government.
The latest of several recent coups in Africa ended a shaky transitional set-up in Sudan intended to lead to elections in 2023. Power was shared between civilians and the military following the fall of Bashir, whom the army deposed after a popular uprising two years ago. Khartoum's main market, banks and filling stations were still closed yesterday. Hospitals gave only emergency services. Smaller shops were open, with long queues for bread.
A group of ministers from the toppled government attempted to visit Hamdok yesterday but were turned away, said irrigation minister Yasir Abbas.
