Arab League chief urges settlement of Sudan crisis without foreign intervention
CAIRO, June 16 2019 (Xinhua) -- Arab League (AL) Secretary General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit urged Sudanese parties on Sunday [16 June] to find solutions to the ongoing crisis "away from foreign interventions or dictations," the Cairo-based pan-Arab body said in a statement.
Aboul-Gheit's remarks came following his visit to Khartoum and his talks with concerned parties in Sudan including General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, head of the temporarily ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) and leaders of the Forces for Freedom and Change.
"The AL will be side by side with all the people of Sudan to overcome the current challenges, urging them to maintain dialogue and return to the table of negotiations to reach vast national consensus," the AL chief reaffirmed during his meetings in the Sudanese capital.
He added that the continuous chaos in Sudan could open the door for foreign interventions, mediations and attempts to affect the course of affairs in the country.
"This requires the AL to be strongly present in the Sudanese scene to help the people of Sudan overcome the current difficulties," Aboul-Gheit pointed out, according to the statement.
