Khartoum, Sudan
October 28, 2021—The government of the United States of America has suspended its 700 million dollars assistance to Sudan following a military coup that disposed the American ally, Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
America is the staunch supporter of the civilian-led government in Sudan and said withdrawing his monetary assistance will serve as warning to the coup initiators.
U.S secretary of state, Blinken said they are suspending their funds from Sudan due to the new development and their decision will send signals to the generals in the country.
Many countries in the world, especially with pro-democracy governments, condemned the military take over against the unity government most of which demanded unconditional release of the detained politicians including the Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.
Saudi Arabia, a close ally to U.S and Sudan, also condemned the military coup and supports America decision to suspend its monetary donation to Sudan.
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan yesterday said the coup wasn’t a coup but a mean to restore the lasting peace and stability in Sudan.
He also argued that the new government will not be formed based on political parties but he will select only technocrats to run the new transition until elections are held.
