Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations on Monday began meetings with Sudanese groups to find a way out of the political deadlock that has paralyzed the country since an October military coup.<\/p>\n

UN envoy for Sudan, Volker Perthes, told a news conference in the capital, Khartoum, that consultations will first aim to build confidence between the military and the pro-democracy movement before they possibly engage in direct talks.<\/p>\n

“The time has come to end violence and to enter a comprehensive consultative process to solve the crisis,” he said.<\/p>\n

The turmoil in Sudan has intensified with the resignation of embattled Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok last week following the failure to reach a compromise between the military and the pro-democracy movement.<\/p>\n

Perthes said the consultations that began on Monday could eventually result in a consensus that would help find a compromise to ease the grinding stalemate.<\/p>\n

The UN mission was meeting with a civil society group on Monday and would continue engaging with other players in the coming days, he said.<\/p>\n

“I can say that the military didn’t oppose our initiative and that is important,” he added.<\/p>\n

He said some protest groups have rejected the UN offer for talks and put the removal of the military from power as a condition to engage in negotiations.<\/p>\n

Perthes was referring mainly to the Sudanese Professionals Association, which led the uprising against al-Bashir.<\/p>\n

The SPA announced its rejection of talks on Sunday, saying the only way out of the ongoing crisis is through the removal of the generals from power.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the ruling Sovereign Council welcomed the UN initiative to facilitate talks among Sudanese players and called on the African Union to “support and contribute” to the efforts.<\/p>\n
