<p>On 3 June, the Foreign Secretary condemned the attack on protestors by Sudanese
security forces, and held the Transitional Military Council (TMC) fully responsible.
We also expressed serious concern over the TMC's announcement that it would cease
negotiations, and we called for an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led government.
We have called on the TMC to take the steps needed to improve the situation in Sudan,
including the release of all political detainees.</p><p>The TMC should now take appropriate
steps to provide confidence for protestors and create the conditions necessary for
the resumption of dialogue, which includes an investigation into the 3 June attack,
an end to the blocking of the internet, and a free media being allowed. We have said
that the TMC must re-engage in a political process with the protestors and opposition
to ensure an agreed transfer of power to a civilian-led authority, in a swift, orderly
and peaceful manner. The UK will continue to engage with all sides to support a settlement
that works for all Sudanese people.</p>
