(VOVWORLD) - The African Union said Wednesday it has suspended Sudan until civilian rule in the country is restored, and it rejects the military takeover as an "unconstitutional" seizure of power.
The Union strongly condemned the takeover and suspended Sudan from all AU activities until the civilian-led transitional authority is restored.
The AU suspended Sudan in June 2019 after pro-democracy protesters demanding civilian rule were gunned down outside army headquarters in Khartoum. Sudan's membership was reinstated three months later after Abdalla Hamdok, the then Prime Minister of Sudan, announced the appointment of Sudan's first cabinet since the ousting of President Omar al-Bashir.
