The Italian Government is following the ongoing events in Sudan with concern, and joins the calls by the UN, AU and EU for an end to the fighting in Khartoum and elsewhere, for the security of the Sudanese people and to avoid further violence. It therefore calls on the parties involved to abandon the path of weapons and to resume the long-standing negotiations, so that the Sudanese people can express their choices in an electoral process. Violence only leads to more violence.
The Italian Government is following the security situation of Italian citizens, who are invited to stay at home or in another safe place, as requested by the Italian Embassy, which remains open and operational.
