UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash on Tuesday urged Sudan's army and protesters to continue dialogue and avoid violence after protest leaders called for a one-day "civil disobedience" campaign.
"It is important for dialogue to continue in Sudan away from disputes and towards an agreement regarding transition arrangements," Gargash wrote on Twitter.
He said any transition should guarantee the establishment of a stable constitutional system.
Sudanese protest leaders called Monday for the nationwide campaign on July 14, just a day after they organized mass protests against the ruling generals.
"It is essential to avoid confrontation and escalation. It is clear that the opposition and the army need each other and need to reach agreement and avoid escalation of the crisis," Gargash said.
Calls for the civil disobedience campaign, the second such general strike in less than a month, came as the two sides traded blame for violence during Sunday's "million-man" march that left casualties.
