MOSCOW. Oct 25 (Interfax) - The Sudanese should resolve their domestic problems themselves, without outside interference, and Moscow will respect the choice of this people and provide them with the necessary assistance, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Monday.
"We are convinced that the Sudanese can and should resolve their domestic problems on their own and determine the vector of their country's sovereign development based on their national interests. The Russian Federation will continue to respect the choice of the friendly Sudanese people and provide them with all necessary assistance," Zakharova said in a commentary published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
Russia believes that the events in Sudan were "evidence of an acute systemic crisis that has engulfed all areas of political and economic life in the country," she said.
"This is the natural result of the failed policy that has been pursued over the past two years. The desperation and plight of the overwhelming majority of the population has been virtually ignored by the transitional authorities and their foreign patrons and advisors," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.
"Largescale foreign interference in the internal affairs of the country in practice has prompted Sudanese citizens to lose trust in the transitional authorities, which has repeatedly resulted in numerous protests and provoked general instability in the country, including the actual isolation of some of its regions," Zakharova said in her commentary.
