  • The moment has come for "inclusive, representative" government in Sudan, the US ambassador to the UN said Tuesday, calling for "comprehensive and sustainable peace" in the African nation. Six months after the Juba peace agreement between the civilian-led transitional government and rebel groups was signed, "the Sudanese people have not seen the commitment and engagement by signatory parties necessary for progress," Linda Thomas-Greenfield said during a United Nations Security Council videoconference. "It is time for Sudan to take basic steps to make it clear it is committed to the long-term stability of the country," she continued. Sudan has been undergoing a rocky transition since the April 2019 ouster of strongman Omar al-Bashir following mass protests against his rule, triggered by economic hardships including a hike in bread prices. The country set up a joint military-civilian government in August 2019, which was given a three-year mandate to oversee the transition process. Last October, Sudan signed the peace deal with rebel groups that observers hoped would end long-running conflicts in the country's far-flung regions. In February the prime minister announced a new cabinet -- bringing in seven ex-rebel chiefs as ministers -- to focus on fixing the ailing economy, which has undermined the political transition. Thomas-Greenfield called for the country to "complete the formation of an inclusive Transitional Legislative Council - including at least 40 percent women representatives," and to "establish the necessary security forces in Darfur." Referring to a deadly attack in west Darfur in January which "reportedly killed 163 people and displaced 50,000 more," she said the government "must do more to ensure its protection plan will prevent future violence and hold the perpetrators of this terrible attack accountable." The ambassador also called for rule of law to be established and upheld, including a "Special Court for Darfur Crimes." The country does have a "comprehensive plan" for protecting civilians, she said -- "but a plan is just a piece of paper. It's only useful or good if it's enacted." prh/st/ft
