US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to release prisoners and restore a civilian-led government, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a press release.

"The Secretary urged General Burhan to immediately release all political figures detained since October 25 and return to a dialogue that returns Prime Minister [Abdalla] Hamdok to office and restores civilian-led governance in Sudan," Price stated Thursday.

United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, stressed the same message in a second call with Hamdok, emphasizing that restoring Sudan's democratic transition will allow the two nations to resume a solid partnership.

On October 25, the military detained Hamdok and some other members of the government. The same day, al-Burhan, head of Sudan's Sovereign Council, declared a state of emergency and dissolved the council and the government.

Earlier on Thursday, Al-Burhan ordered the release of four ministers imprisoned in the military coup, according to state television.

Al-Burhan and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke on the phone shortly after, and Guterres personally urged the military chief to restore the country's democratic transition and constitutional order.

Last week, Al-Burhan told Sputnik he would welcome Hamdok's return to politics.
