“We are very closely monitoring this situation, we hope that, firstly, there will not be some kind of escalation of the situation that could lead to human victims,” said Peskov.

According to him, Russia hopes that in the very near future the situation in Sudan will return to the constitutional mainstream.

Earlier it was reported that the Sudanese military announced the creation of a transitional council in the country. This was reported by the TV channel Al Arabiya, citing sources.

In Sudan, the last four months have not subsided popular protests, which were caused by dissatisfaction with the economic situation in the country. Rallies began amid rising prices for fuel, bread and flour.
