CAIRO (Reuters) – The U.N. Special Representative in Sudan met with Sudanese General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Tuesday and encouraged him to de-escalate the situation in the country, calling for access to and the release of detainees, his mission said in a statement on Wednesday.
Volker Perthes “offered his good offices to facilitate a political settlement towards the restoration of the transitional partnership,” the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS) said.
