MOSCOW, April 11. /TASS/. Moscow is closely monitoring the situation in the Sudan, where an attempted coup d’etat took place, and expects the Sudanese to settle the situation soon, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Thursday.

"We are closely monitoring the situation," he said. "We hope that there will be no escalation of tensions there, which may lead to human deaths," Peskov added.

"We expect the situation to return to the constitutional course as soon as possible," the Kremlin spokesman noted. "We also expect that in any outcome - and the whole situation is solely a domestic affair of the Sudanese themselves - Russian-Sudanese relations will remain constant in the Sudan’s foreign policy," he added.
