United States: Sudan's leaders were warned Wednesday by Foreign Minister Antony Blinken that anyone who poses a threat to Sudan's shaky democratic transition will face a travel ban from the United States.

The announcement comes two days after the main pro-democracy organization, the Force for the Declaration of Independence and Change, and Sudan's two ruling generals, Abdel-Fattah Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, signed a "framework agreement".

As part of the agreement a new transitional government led by civilians would be established, and the country's military would relinquish control. The agreement was also signed by several other political parties and organisations.

Blinken in a statement released Wednesday praised Monday's agreement, which was mediated by the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom.

He continued by saying that anyone "responsible for, or believed to have been involved in, undermining democratic change in Sudan" would face a travel ban.

Due to the refusal of key political figures to sign the accord, Sudan's framework deal provides only the most basic plan for how the country will resume its uncertain transition to democracy.

The agreement also sidelined more complex issues such as military reform and the implementation of transitional justice. Volker Perthes, the United Nations Special Representative for Sudan, described the political framework agreement as "a significant breakthrough".

However, he issued a warning that "significant contentious issues still need to be addressed in a final agreement" in a video briefing to the UN Security Council from Khartoum.

These include implementing a peace agreement that Sudan's transitional government and several armed groups signed in Juba in 2020, reforming the security sector and combining competing forces, and ensuring transitional justice.

Perthes said the UN would also like to discuss the new government's economic and development priorities in the upcoming round of talks.

He issued a stern warning, saying encouraging progress on the political track this week "could be derailed by challenges and obstacles still ahead." Perthes warned that as a final settlement draws closer, those who do not believe it will advance their interests may intensify their efforts to destroy it.

The accord excludes several former rebel leaders who have set up their own political bloc. Sudan's vast grassroots pro-democracy resistance committees, which have refused to hold talks with the country's military leaders, are also absent.

Given the vulnerability of democratic changes, the United States will hold political or military actors accountable for their actions. Blinken said. Further talks are expected to start soon to reach a more inclusive agreement.
