BRUSSELS — The European Union threatens to suspend financial support for Sudan if the military doesn’t immediately return the civilian government to power.

“This attempt to undermine Sudan’s transition to democracy is unacceptable. If the situation is not reversed immediately, there will be serious consequences for the EU’s commitment, including its financial support,” EU diplomatic chief Josep Borrell warns in a statement.
