The United States and other Western powers expressed grave concern on Friday over the appointment of a new Sudanese ruling council by the general who led last month's coup, saying it complicated efforts to restore a transition to democracy.
The United States, Britain, Norway, the European Union and Switzerland also urged the security services to respect the right to free speech "without fear of violence or detention" ahead of protests set for Saturday by critics of the army's move.
The head of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, was sworn in as his deputy. It "complicates efforts to put Sudan's democratic transition back on track", they said, adding the move was "in violation" of an accord setting out the transition.In Geneva, the top U.N. human rights official Michelle Bachelet designated Adama Dieng, a former U.N. adviser on the prevention of genocide, to monitor "the developing human rights situation" in Sudan. His term will end when civilian-led government is restored, a U.N. statement said.
Earlier, Volker Perthes, the U.N. special representative for Sudan, said the army's unilateral move on Thursday "makes it increasingly difficult to return to the constitutional order".
