The African Union suspends Sudan's participation in all activities until civilian rule in the country is restored, saying it rejected the military takeover as an 'unconstitutional' seizure of power
The body said the suspension would remain in place"until the effective restoration of the civilian-led transitional authority" in the country as international backlash toward the military coup has grown.The African Union has suspended Sudan until civilian rule in the country is restored, saying it rejected the military takeover as an "unconstitutional" seizure of power.
The continent-wide bloc said it "strongly condemns the seizure of power" and was suspending Sudan from all AU activities "until the effective restoration of the civilian-led transitional authority".Meanwhile, the World Bank said on Wednesday it has suspended aid to Sudan following the military takeover that deposed the prime minister.
"I am greatly concerned by recent events in Sudan, and I fear the dramatic impact this can have on the country's social and economic recovery and development," World Bank President David Malpass said in a statement. The World Bank "paused disbursements in all of its operations in Sudan on Monday and it has stopped processing any new operations as we closely monitor and assess the situation," Malpass said.
