Foreign diplomats have met ousted Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok in the capital Khartoum, the UN mission in the country has confirmed.
An EU delegation as well as the embassies of Germany, France, Britain, the US and other countries met Hamdok at his residence, they said jointly on Twitter late on Wednesday.
“Pleased to find him in good health. We continue to call for full restoration of his liberty,” the statement tweeted by the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission (UNITAMS) read.
In a statement released by the US and EU embassies in Sudan on Wednesday, diplomats had said it was “paramount for the ambassadors based in Khartoum, to be able to communicate with the prime minister.”
The military took power in the East African country on Monday after a period of intense political crisis, including street demonstrations demanding that the military end its involvement in the government.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who previously headed a transitional government together with Hamdok, announced on Monday that the civilian government had been dissolved and declared a state of emergency.
