Statement by Pan-African Parliament President regarding Sudan situation

News coming from Sudan has overwhelmed state and non-state actors alike in Africa. Diplomats, businesses, and most importantly, the ordinary people of Sudan sit on tenterhooks as fighters loyal to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese military clash. Ports and planes have not been spared.

The commander of the RSF, who is also the number 2 of the military government, has vowed to capture all military bases and be in control of the state. This is happening after an arrangement for the commencement of the integration of the RSF in the regular army failed earlier in the year. This morning, the president of the Pan-African Parliament released a statement on the unfolding situation in Sudan.
