<p>The Troika countries (UK, US and Norway) are engaging with the Transitional Military
Council (TMC) and Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC), and regional allies to support
the political agreement setting out the transition to civilian rule. We urge all sides
to finalise swiftly the Constitutional Declaration and implement the full agreement.
Our Embassy in Khartoum closely monitors the human rights situation in Sudan, and
raises our concerns in meeting with the authorities on the political situation. The
UK, alongside Troika partners, will continue to maintain an international spotlight
on the human rights situation in order to encourage accountability and try and prevent
further human rights violations. On 29 June, Troika countries issued a joint statement
that called on the TMC to respect the rights of the people of Sudan to freedom of
expression and peaceful assembly, permit peaceful protests, and avoid any use of violence.
The Troika released a further joint statement on 18 July. This welcomed the commitment
of the TMC and FFC to support an independent investigation into acts of violence,
including on 3 June.</p>
