Ukraine is deeply concerned about the deterioration of the situation in the Republic of the Sudan, as a result of which within only the first days of June this year, more than one hundred civilians were killed and hundreds were injured. We express sincere condolences to the bereaved families and loved ones of those who have died.
Ukraine joins the position of the EU and the African Union, calling on the Transitional Military Council and opposition leaders to restrain, as well as to terminate the activities which leads to an escalation of the situation in the country.
We are convinced that the return of the parties to the negotiation process is the most appropriate and civilized way of resolving contradictions, aimed at creating necessary basis for further political dialogue, and hence to build up statehood on the principles of rule of law, protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms.
