On October 26, 2021, the Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union (AU) adopted a statement (communique) on the situation in Sudan. The PSC reiterated the AU’s commitment to support the Transitional Government of Sudan. The Council, acting under Article 7 of its Protocol, condemned the Sudanese military’s seizure, and rejected the “unconstitutional change of government.” The Council decided to suspend Sudan’s participation in all AU activities, and set to “undertake a mission to Sudan to engage with all stakeholders.”
