The people of Sudan deserve nothing less than democratic civilian government. Discussed with @SudanPMHamdok how #Taqadom engages stakeholders to be ready for this & pressures parties to the conflict (+ sponsors) to get there as soon as possible. 🇨🇦 stands with them.

I am gravely concerned about the shocking reports of extra-judicial killings in Merawi. I heard first-hand last week in Amhara about attacks perpetrated against civilians. Full & transparent accountability is required: perpetrators must be held to account for their crimes.

In Mekelle to meet with President @reda_getachew. We discussed what is needed for full implementation of the #COHA, what Tigrayans expect from a national Transitional Justice process, and how 🇨🇦’s support for peace, protection and development is helping Tigray’s recovery.

Dr Hamdok and I spoke about the newly formed "Somoud" democratic alliance and its foundational commitment to not side with any belligerents in #Sudan. We agree: civilian rule is the only solution for a united Sudan. It is past time for a #ceasefire and mediated way forward.

Congratulations to my friend Amb Nicolas Simard for his appointment as 🇨🇦’s next Ambassador in Ethiopia. He will be excellent! We shared a traditional 🇪🇹 dinner recently to discuss all things Horn of Africa. Great conversation… and delicious food!

Outrageous. I trust the criminals who perpetrated these violations will be held to account. International relations are premised on ensuring full respect for the rights, security, and privileges & immunities of those with diplomatic status.
