The United Sudanese Revolutionary Forces Abroad (USRFA), a revolutionary coordination body of more than 31 Sudanese bodies and entities across the world, expressed their disappointment and rejection of the Trilateral AU-IGAD-UNITAMS negotiations with the ruling military junta.

In their statement on June 11, the USRFA centre were steadfast in their opposition of any talks that sought to legitimise the "coup government" and exonerate “those who committed unspeakable atrocities in Sudan”.

The various signatories also used the statement as an opportunity to highlight the sacrifices of the “millions of peaceful protesters across Sudan, tirelessly putting their lives and wellbeing in grave danger”.

According to the USRFA, anything other than the complete rejection of the AU-IGAD-UNITAMS negotiations, would “only maintain and strengthen the set back by the coup regime”.

The organisation concluded their statement by reiterating that, they stood firmly with the people of Sudan in their goals to end the coup, establish a civilian-led democratic government, and ensure the military return to their barracks.
