Sudan’s military leader calls for Sudan’s membership restoration in AU
Sudan’s military leader Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan has called for the restoration of Sudan’s full membership in the regional organization.
Al-Burhan made the remarks when he received the delegation of the AU High-Level Panel on the Resolution of the Conflict in Sudan, led by Mohamed Ibn Chambas, in Port Sudan, the capital city of the Red Sea state, the sovereign council said in a statement.
“Al-Burhan expressed Sudan’s confidence in the African Union and the solutions it could offer, provided that Sudan deals with the organization as a full member,” the statement said.

Al-Burhan further stressed that the basis of the solution lies in the withdrawal of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the cities and villages they occupied.
The AU had frozen Sudan’s membership after Al-Burhan declared a state of emergency on Oct. 25, 2021, and dissolved the Sovereign Council and the transitional government which was headed by the then Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok.
