Tunisia voices concern over developments in Sudan

Tunisia said it is following with concern the ongoing events in Sudan and the clashes that broke out on Saturday in the capital Khartoum between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (paramilitary).

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tunisia voiced deep concern about the security situation in Sudan and its repercussions on the political process in this country.

In this regard, Tunisia called on all parties to exercise restraint, reason and de-escalation and encouraged them to engage in dialogue in order to defuse the crisis, preserve the stability of this country and protect the property of its people.

Earlier in the day, the Tunisian embassy in Khartoum had indicated that Tunisians living in Sudan were safe and that its services were in constant contact with them.
