Sudan’s rival parties are getting ready to sit face to face for the first time since the October 2021 military coup that continues to fuel a sharp political division in the country.
Volker Perthes, UN Special Representative to Sudan and head of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITMAS), revealed to the press on June 2 that the Sudanese army will hold direct talks with politicians and civilian activists this month to seek a solution to the current political crisis.
