16일 세계노총이 성명을 통해 수단정세에 대해 <세계노총은 수단노동자∙민중에 대한 연대와 지지를 표한다>고 발표했다.
성명은 <수단노동자들과 수단노총은 국가의 발전과, 부정한 간부구속과 같은 지속적인 장애・방해요소들에 대한 투쟁을 벌이고있다>라며 <세계노총은 오직 노동자들과 그들에 의해 선출된 대표들만이 매개나라에서 노동조합의 조직과 행동에 책임을 질수 있음을 선언한다. 수단정부는 노동조합에 대한 개입을 중단해야한다.>고 말했다.
특히 <1948년 국제연합인권선언, 1966년 국제시민권리규약과 같이 많은 국제적인 문건과 기준들이 그렇듯이 조합・단체의 자립과 같은 국제노동협약이 명시하는 바를 지켜야한다>고 강조했다.

| The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU), supports and conveys its solidarity to the people of Sudan and the Sudanese workers. The WFTU representing 105 million workers in 133 countries of the world leads the struggle for democratic freedoms, free trade union expression and action. The WFTU was informed by its historic member in Sudan, the Sudan Workers Trade Union Federation for the developments in the country, the continuous annoyances, obstacles and arrests of its cadres without concrete accusations. We declare again: Only the workers and their elected leaders are responsible for the operation and action of the trade union movement in each country, the state and the governments must not interfere in the trade unions. Especially by taking into account many decisions of the ILO Committee on Freedom of Association as well as many milestone international documents, such as the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The WFTU calls upon the International Organizations to take direct action and initiatives in order to investigate phenomena of racist violence, repression against Sudanese workers and to substantially investigate the complaints of police arbitrariness. This action must not be limited in words but in actions and concrete results. For our part, we pledge to internationalize the issue and to undertake any necessary initiative at institutional level in order to protect the life, health and the workers’ rights in Sudan and the SWTUF which is an affiliate of WFTU and participates in the WFTU leadership with brother Yousif Ali Abdelkarim who was elected in our recent congress.
