The dialogue was brokered by a tripartite mechanism of the UN, AU and the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development, an eight-country trade bloc in Eastern Africa, reports Xinhua news agency.

Head of the UN Integrated Transitional Assistance Mission in Sudan Volker Perthes cautioned that unless the current political crisis in Sudan is solved, the country risks becoming even more unstable.

The country has been suffering a political crisis after the general commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan staged a coup on October 25, 2021 and dissolved the Sovereign Council and the government.

Since then, protests in Khartoum and other major cities have persisted to demand a return to civilian rule.
