GCC concerned over escalation, military clashes in Sudan

Al Buadaiwi called on all political leaders in the country for calm and restraint, urging to give priority to the language of dialogue and the voice of wisdom.  He also called to unite ranks in a way that contributes to reach further consensus in light of the progress achieved within the framework agreement aimed at reaching a political declaration that would accomplish political stability, economic recovery and prosperity for Sudan and its people, as well as spare civilians the consequences of gun battles.

The GCC Secretary General called on all the conflicting parties to resort to dialogue and peaceful means to overcome differences, enhance the security and stability of Sudan and deliver on the aspirations of its brotherly people.
