<p>The UK has received no official request from Mr al-Mahdi, although we are aware
of reports of the request in the media. Since Bashir's removal on 11 April, the UK
has made clear public statements calling for all sides to engage in an inclusive dialogue
that leads to a swift and peaceful transition to civilian rule. The UK has called
for a transition to a political system that is inclusive, supported by a sound constitutional
basis that is respectful of human rights and the rule of law and that ensures accountability
for the crimes committed by members of the former regime. The UK strongly supports
the mission of the International Criminal Court; due legal process must be followed.
We continue to engage with national and international actors, articulating the UK's
readiness to work with Sudan's people in order to make the political transition a
success.</p>
