The political agreement in Sudan is at the mercy of partners

Al Jazeera Net - Private

"A large mine will explode by one of the parties," all of these fears described one of the leaders of the forces of the declaration of freedom and change in Sudan, the political agreement signed Wednesday morning with the military junta.

The document, which was initialed, is exposed from the moment of its birth, and before it becomes valid and final; to the criticism of political forces and armed movements within the Alliance of the Revolution itself.

The Revolutionary Front, which includes armed movements within the forces of freedom and change, was the first to criticize and renounced the agreement, since the mediation and the parties to the agreement did not wait until the issues of war and peace being discussed in Addis Ababa were included between the Front and the forces of freedom and change.

JEM President Jibril Ibrahim echoed his account on Twitter, saying the Sudanese Revolutionary Front was not a party to the agreement.

"The initial signing of a political agreement between the transitional military junta and parties from the forces of freedom and change was a mockery of the consultations taking place in Addis Ababa."

The Communist refuses
The Communist Party counted nine minutes after the signing of the agreement, which will have only two days to withstand or suffer a setback. The African-Ethiopian mediation hit Friday to discuss and sign the draft constitutional declaration.

In a communique, the Communist Party rejected the agreement because it "perpetuates military dominance and runs counter to the African Union's decision to hand over power to a civilian government, as well as to the International Independent Investigation Commission, which undermines justice for the martyrs of the revolution."

"The declaration of the agreement by a constitutional decree gives legitimacy to the military council does not deserve, and the failure of some of the forces of freedom and change in the signing of the agreement to the rest of the components of the coalition."

But the leader of the Arab Socialist Baath Party, Mohammed Ziauddin, said in his interview with Al Jazeera Net that the agreement is a step towards reaching a comprehensive agreement between the two parties, despite the transfer of controversial issues such as the proportions of the Legislative Council and not reference to the tasks of the transitional period such as the Constitutional Convention and the dismantling of the former regime.

The legal value
On the extent of their confidence in the implementation of the military agreed upon, Zia said that the agreement must be an input to address the real problems in the constitutional decree, explaining that the political agreement has achieved a breakthrough in some situations.

But the man returns and says that signing the agreement in initials means that it has no legal value unless a constitutional declaration is agreed upon in accordance with the objectives of the revolution, and then a final agreement is reached to sign the documents.

The Ba'th Party and the Communist Party belong to the National Alliance of Forces of Consensus (one of the blocks of the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change), and the difference in attitudes reflects the extent to which the Alliance of the Revolution will be united in the face of the rising demands of the street.

"The signing on Wednesday was not welcomed by the RUF, and for the second time the forces of freedom and change go beyond the revolutionary front," Sadiq Yousif, JEM's vice-president, told Al-Jazeera Net.

"While there are consultations in Addis Ababa between RUF and the forces of freedom and change to include the issues of war and peace in the document of agreement, our allies are quick to sign without coordination with the Revolutionary Front, which is a partner and an essential part of the coalition," he said.

A foregone conclusion
Despite the tears of the Ethiopian mediator, Ambassador Mahmoud Dreir, and the chanting slogans accompanying the signing ceremony in the initials of the political agreement, the joy of the Sudanese street compared to the announcement of the parties to reach an agreement on the fifth of July.

When the meeting was held on Tuesday evening, observers and the street were hoping to overcome the differences in the 15-page constitutional declaration document, as the four-page political agreement did not contain controversial points of contention.

Representatives of parties within the forces of freedom and change of the island Net that the devils details appeared in the document of the constitutional declaration when it received last Friday, which invited them at the time to request a deadline for study.

The leaders of the forces of freedom and change hope to complete the shortcomings of the political agreement in the draft constitutional declaration, said the leader of the coalition of national consensus, Mohammed Ismat in his account on Facebook, "the political agreement that was signed this morning a large mine will explode by one of the parties."

Constitutional Declaration
The transitional period will be three years and 21 days subject to the constitutional declaration, so the leader of the opposition federal opposition Tayeb al-Abbasi of Al-Jazeera Net said that it would have been better to issue the draft constitutional declaration after the formation of transitional government structures.

"The constitutional declaration document contained absolute immunity, which confirms that there is an offense committed and wanted by the military to protect, which constitutes discrimination in the right to litigation," said Abbasi, an eminent lawyer.

Abbasi criticizes the text of the dependence of the judicial and judicial organs of the Constitutional Court and its composition and law and the judiciary and the Attorney General of the Council of Sovereignty, which means that the military are seeking to build a wall to ensure their supervision of these devices.

He considered that the suspension of Parliament during the transitional period - even if for a limited period (3 months) - caused the absence of the required control and removed the legislation required for the transitional period.

Therefore, the joy of the Sudanese to reach an agreement on the transfer of power will remain suspended on Friday, in the hope that the parties to negotiate to reach an agreement on the points of contention, and then go to sign a final agreement ending three months of anticipation.
