Sudanese opposition: the people is the guarantor of the military junta agreement with «freedom and change»

The agreement declared between the military junta and the opposition forces of freedom and change on the administration of the transitional period is finally a step forward for optimism, and there are no realistic guarantees to implement it, said the official of the Sudanese Congress Party and freedom and change coalition partner Mohammed Daoud. The confidence of his party, the revolutionary forces of the Sudanese people, his awareness and his ability to confront, continue the struggle, which is more than enough.

"The agreement may not have met the aspirations of all the Sudanese people, but as any agreement between two parties has to be somewhat agreeable," said Daoud, who spoke with a group of Sudanese dissidents at a seminar hosted by the Egyptian Popular Socialist Party in Cairo's Tahrir Square. The most important of which is that it paved the way for a transition to a civilian authority through a clear road map and ensured the possibility of forming a civil ministry chosen by the forces of freedom and change. The revolution also demanded a three-year transitional period that would ensure the root of the old system, And cultural activities All, and the salvation of the ancient deep state and its influence, to ensure free and transparent elections do not restore the old regime from the net, after being expelled from the door ».

The regulation of victory

"The December 18 Revolution has codified its victory in this agreement, and the protection of regional and international forces. The fourth step has been to strengthen its position. The first step was the start of the revolution in December 2018. The second is the arrival of the military command on April 6, This agreement, "pointing out that" the revolution has its connection and way to new steps, will be the beginning of the accounting of the old system and dismantled its joints, and accountability of those involved in the massacres, and the establishment of peace, and then access to the tasks of transition to power.

Daoud stressed that "the revolution continues, even in various events after the agreement, there are committees of neighborhoods that work in every inch of the land of Sudan, and there are seminars held by the political forces non-stop in the neighborhood for political discussion with people, and update them on the situation and deepen their awareness, and during Only three days after the signing of the agreement, Freedom and Change held seminars attended by tens of thousands, so our confidence in the capabilities of our people is limitless, and his enemies bet on not going out and out of his patience to demonstrate. He stayed six months in the street in a state of legendary struggle. He went out in the streets in a way that surprised H The forces of freedom and change itself, so we have no fear of agreement, and what can be done on it ».

Similarities

In response to a question about the differences and similarities between the recent agreement and the "soft landing" project, adopted under former President Omar al-Bashir, which was based on a national dialogue, then a national unity government, and then elections in which al-Bashir pledged not to run, The difference is vast. These projects, such as soft landing and al-Wathba, were carried out in the framework of a system, laws and circumstances aimed at maintaining the status quo and containing people's demands for change. Today's agreement is the culmination of the revolution of a victorious people in the streets and squares, , And in light of the will of the change swept away by those who oppose it, Once the project is open and change this includes all Sudanese forces, nor exclude anyone unlike the old containment projects ».

In response to a question about the discrepancy in the Council's consideration of "transition", while assigning "non-transitional tasks", such as the administration of the peace process, Daoud said, "The original authority in the Council is to carry out certain tasks to move to civilian rule, Democratic and transparent, in preparation for the country's transition to full civilian rule, but more than that is the conduct of business, which will not take its final version only by parliamentary ratification ».

As for the role played by the "professional gathering" in the revolution, Daoud said that the uprisings are usually led by unions in Sudan. This is a historic event in the uprising of 1964 and in the 1985 uprising. Today, the Bashir regime was very keen on this point and very disturbed by the unions. And the establishment of the so-called "union of the establishment", under which in one building, or one company, one union brings together the bed and the manager, and was intended to convert between the people and his historical weapon, and it produced something is the opposite of independent unions, which played a fundamental role In the December Revolution, most likely after the transition period In any case, trade unions will return to their natural box in the professional struggle, away from politics.

In response to a question about the possibility of the return of political conflicts in Sudan, which followed the revolution of 1985, and the cause of the military coup in 1989, David concluded that the circumstances have changed a lot, the age groups that were promoting it exceeded 60, but now 70, In the demonstrations, mostly in the twenties and thirties, and it carries a new thought and new visions of the world does not make him prisoner of the past, so those who measure the conditions of 1985, or expected results in the elections compared to the elections in 1989, and most importantly, and saw the participation of young people and women, for example, Change.

The mandate of the Transitional Council is to carry out certain tasks of transition to civilian rule, first and foremost to arrange and administer transparent democratic elections, in preparation for the country's transition to full civilian rule.

The age groups that promoted conflicts like the one that took place after the 1985 revolution, now over 60, and the generation that took part in the demonstrations mostly in its twenties and thirties, carrying new ideas and new visions of the world, do not make it prisoner of the past.
