International powers express positions on Sudan's political future

Several countries and international bodies have made statements about the situation in Sudan. Italy's ambassador to Sudan, Gianluigi Vassallo, reaffirmed Italy's support for the country's stability at the close of a development project. The European Union stated it rejects any parallel government in Sudan, while Saudi Arabia emphasized the need to prevent external interference in Sudanese affairs. A separate commentary piece questioned whether the United Kingdom is pursuing contradictory policies in both Sudan and Somalia.
