US Congress Seeks to Strip Sudan’s Representation – Demands Civilian-Led Transition – Khartoum Highlight – Agencies
US lawmakers in the Congress proposed a draft resolution in the Foreign Relations Committee. Requesting urgent action from the US administration to remove legitimacy from any Sudanese authority at present. And to ensure the suspension of Sudan’s representation in international organizations by any of the current authorities. Until the transition to a civilian or democratically elected government. Sudan is currently disputed by two authorities. One in Port Sudan led by the Sudanese army, and another formed by the Tasis Coalition in Nyala. Led by the Commander of the Rapid Support Forces.
Since October 25, 2021, the military institution overthrew the transitional civilian authority led by Dr. Hamdok. later the two sides of the military council – “the army and the RSF” – disagreed, leading to a war between them on April 15, 2023. Which caused the killing and displacement of millions of Sudanese.
“Somoud” coalition, led by Hamdok and major civilian political forces in Sudan, states that there is no legitimacy in Sudan following the October 25 coup. The US draft resolution calls for immediate steps with the Credentials Committee of the UN General Assembly. To activate Article 29 of the rules of procedure, in order to revoke the legitimacy of any Sudanese representation in international bodies. As lawful representatives of the Republic of Sudan. Until the Secretary-General decides that Sudan has transitioned to a civilian or democratically elected government.
