3:12 am
moscow. we call on the parties to the conflict, to show political will and restraint and take urgent steps towards a cease fire. we proceed from the fact that any disagreements can be settled through negotiations. we've heard among some of the other i neighboring countries for if, as we've heard in egypt, foreign ministry coming out of the statement thing that the edge both parties to de escalate and move into a state that would allow for negotiations and allow for progress to be made towards a transitional government. egypt is following with great concern, the developments and sudan with the ongoing clutches there. it calls on also any spots still exist, maximum, restrain, to protect the lives and capabilities of the brotherly sudanese people. and so the whole, the supreme interests of the homeland albany blinking also came out with a fade man that the u. s. secretary fe saying that there might be other players who
3:13 am
are in the region. and again is the formation of a transitional government. it's a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against that, that progress. but this is a real opportunity to finally carry for the civilian la transition. and one that we and other countries are trying to are to bolster. and we've also heard from the u. s. ambassador to sedan, john godfrey, who says that they are continuing to take shelter and they're being away from the windows and fudge. and that, you know, if they're worried about the record gunfire sounds that the hearing outside of their compound in khartoum and the urge both players to de escalate. and to really move into a position of authority from both the representatives of the iris f,
