Sudan’s leading pro-democracy group has lashed out at the United Nations, accusing it of failing to safeguard the country’s transition to democracy and being soft on the generals who led the October 25 military coup.
The Sudanese Professionals’ Association (SPA), which has led dozens of protests since the military takeover in October – and which also led protests in 2019 that led to the removal of Sudan’s former President Omar al-Bashir – rejected again an initiative by the UN Mission in Sudan aimed at bringing civilians and the military to the negotiating table.
