The world welcomes the Khartoum agreement and Hamiditi clarifies the fate of Saudi and UAE funds

Arab and international responses welcomed the arrival of the parties to the Sudanese crisis to a consensus formula on the management of the transitional period, at a time when the Vice President of the Transitional Military Council about the fate of funds received by Khartoum from the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the recent period.

The welcome responses to the political agreement signed by the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change continued with the Transitional Military Council on Friday.

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Abdul Latif al-Zayani, said he welcomed the agreement reached between the military council and the forces of freedom and change on the arrangements for the transitional phase in Sudan.

Saudi Arabia welcomed the agreement and expressed hope that "this important step will be the beginning of a new stage of security and stability."

OIC Secretary-General Yousef Al-Othaimeen described the Khartoum agreement as a positive step.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of "preserving the security and stability of the Sudan and meeting the aspirations of its brotherly people."

The Tunisian Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of the agreement as an important step in "this delicate stage of Sudan's history."

The EU described the Khartoum agreement as significant and stressed the importance of its implementation in good faith, calling for the formation of a civilian government as soon as possible.

Earlier, the agreement was welcomed by Turkey, Britain, Ethiopia, Qatar, Palestine, Egypt, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, the United Nations, the African Union and the Arab League.

Power sharing
The junta announced on Friday morning that it had reached an agreement with the forces of freedom and change, which requires power-sharing between the two sides during a transition period leading to elections.

The agreement was brokered by Ethiopia and the African Union and includes the formation of a sovereign council that will lead the transition period for three years and three months, consisting of five soldiers and five civilians, in addition to a civilian member agreed upon by both parties, for a total of 11 members.

The two sides also agreed to form a government of independent civilian competencies led by a prime minister, and to conduct a transparent investigation into the various bloody events that the country has experienced in recent weeks.

After the agreement was reached, protest leaders in Sudan canceled a call for a civil disobedience scheduled for July 14.

The leader of the "Alliance of Freedom and Change" Ahmed Rabie that the abolition of the call for civil disobedience aims to make way for the implementation of the agreement.

"We have agreed with the forces of freedom and change to put our hands above one another to get Sudan out of safety," said Hamid Hamdati, deputy head of Sudan's military junta.

Money and revolution
In another context, Hamidati stressed that the Council has handed over all the financial aid it has received since its arrival to the Central Bank of Sudan, including funds from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

He said the funds provided by Saudi Arabia and the UAE "have not been disposed of and are still in the Central Bank."

Hamidi stressed the need to hold the corrupt accountable, and focus in the next stage on the unity to get the country to safety.

Hamidi did not give details of the funds provided by Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to his country after the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir.

The Gulf countries agreed in April to provide $ 3 billion to Khartoum, including $ 500 million deposit in the central bank, and the rest to meet the country's needs of food, medicine and oil derivatives.

Opponents question the nature of outside support for the council and claim it is part of a counter-revolution to thwart the popular movement demanding the handover of power to a civilian authority.
