REUTERS/StYCAIRO - 23 November 2021: United Nations Spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Tuesday that the UN is confirming the need to protect the constitutional system and basic freedoms of political action in Sudan. Commenting on reaching an agreement by the Sudanese partners, he added that the Sudanese partners in the current transitional phase need to tackle pending issues while respecting human rights and the sovereignty of the law. Sudan is witnessing political unrest after Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan dissolved the Sudanese Sovereignty Council along with the government. In an earlier statement by the ministry on Thursday, it said that joint armed forces placed Hamdok under house arrest. The ministry said Hamdok called on Sudanese people in a statement to adhere to peacefulness and rush to the streets to defend their revolution.
