Last month's military coup in Sudan has sparked a political crisis, with further protests this week. Doctors say at least fifteen people were killed by the security forces during the latest mass demonstrations.

The coup has been broadly condemned internationally. But international efforts to mediate have so far not persuaded General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the coup leader, to step back.

For many years now, Norway has been one of the key countries shaping the international response to Sudan. Therese Gheziel is the Norwegian Ambassador to the African nation, and she spoke to Newsday about the role her country is playing to bring about a peaceful resolution. "There have been ups and downs, we can admit that", she said about talks with the coup leaders.
