"The members of the Security Council called upon Sudan's military authorities to restore the civilian-led transitional government on the basis of the Constitutional Document and other foundational documents of the transition," the statement, seen by Sputnik, said.

"They urged all stakeholders to engage in dialogue without pre-conditions, in order to enable the full implementation of the Constitutional Document and the Juba Peace Agreement, which underpin Sudan's democratic transition," it added.
