Sudan’s military seized power on Monday in a coup d’état and detained the prime minister and other officials of the transfer government. Many US officials have condemned it.
State Department spokesman Ned Price said the full package of aid was “withheld” pending a review of the current developments in Khartoum.
Price called for the immediate release of all those arrested, including Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok. He said, “Restore the civilian power transfer government immediately. He leads the will of the people of Sudan, which is reflected in the support he has received.
“We accept complaints about the slowing down of the transfer of power, but the ouster of government officials and the dismantling of government institutions are both a violation of Sudan’s constitutional declaration and a violation of the democratic aspirations of the Sudanese people,” he said. We do.”
“Military officers should immediately release detained leaders, fully reinstate a civilian-led transfer of power, and refrain from using violence against protesters, including the use of ammunition,” Price said. Transfer of power by force Any change in the government can threaten financial aid and our bilateral ties in a big way.
Price said the suspended aid was direct financial aid aimed at creating a completely civilian government in the country.
