Meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, the Sudanese opposition is trying to unify its positions following divergences after the signing of an agreement on Wednesday, July 17, between the military regime of Khartoum and the opposition coalition.
Political parties and armed movements gathered this Sunday, July 21, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. According to Rabeh Mahdi of the Alliance for Freedom and Change, the differences within this coalition of civil society and opposition parties need to be mitigated. In the middle of the week, some members of the coalition had rejected the agreement - including armed groups in Darfur - who believe that key issues have not been addressed.
" Negotiations are continuing between the different members of the Alliance for Freedom and Change . The goal is to smooth out the differences, "explains Rabeh Mahdi . " The first point of disagreement concerns the structure of this coalition. Commissions have been formed to work on them. "
" The second point concerns peace issues that some members want to see included in the agreement that was reached [Wednesday] with the military junta in recent days, " said Rabeh Mahdi. For armed groups, an agreement on a return to peace is a priority and must precede the formation of a government. The other members of the alliance do not share this opinion and think that the situation requires the formation of a government as soon as possible. But the discussions are progressing and we should find an agreement within twenty-four hours. "
