UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - National and international mediation efforts working to solve Sudan's political crisis are expected to bear fruit in coming days, the U.N. special envoy said on Monday.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan toppled Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's cabinet a week ago and arrested key politicians. Hamdok remains under house arrest in his residence, Volker Perthes told reporters in New York via video from Sudan.
