RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan made two phone calls on Tuesday to the President of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok.
During the two calls, the foreign minister affirmed the Kingdom’s keenness on “Sudan’s stability and unity, the formation of the new government as soon as possible, and the compatibility between the military and civil components for the benefit of Sudan and its people,” the foreign ministry said.
Protests have continued in Sudan to denounce an Oct. 25 military coup, even after Abdallah Hamdok was reinstated as prime minister last month.
