The world is awaiting the results of mediation efforts led by the United Nations and an African country between all Sudanese parties to find a solution to the crisis that has been raging in the country since last week.

Volker Perthes, the United Nations special envoy to Sudan, said yesterday, that mediators hope that “features” of a way out of the crisis in Sudan will emerge in the coming days, adding to reporters in New York via video call from Sudan that Hamdok is still under house arrest at his residence, according to Reuters.

He pointed out that there are efforts and mediation being carried out by a number of parties currently in Khartoum. He continued: We support two of these endeavors, propose initiatives and ideas, and coordinate with some mediators… Larger packages (of measures) are being proposed for negotiation, and they hope that the features of one of them will emerge. …within the next two days.”

He stressed that “there is a general feeling that a way out should be found,” and that he could not talk about the demands, conditions, or positions of the Sudanese army chief, Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and ousted Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, while mediators switched between the two.
