Coming understandings

While the movement of the Sadrist movement criticized the popular paper to object to the nomination of the Sudanese Shiites, Al-Sarraj elaborated on the coordination framework and the differences between the Shiite poles, which he said are not new and despite their severity today, will not reach the level of confrontation, stressing that the framework adheres to its political path and its procedures, and is waiting for an agreement.
