Al Jazeera Net - Private

Over the past few days, the Sudanese arena has been dominated by an escalating debate in the wake of endless leaks on the ongoing negotiations in the Ethiopian capital, and the nomination of party leaders and leaders of armed movements under the umbrella of the Freedom and Change Declaration to hold senior positions in the expected transitional government.

The agreement and the split between Mossadeq and the lies of those leaks that the agreement, which prevailed after the victory of the opposition coalition and its control of the Sudanese scene after the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir in April, he was absolutely sure not to take any partisan figure for an executive or presidential position in the interim period specified For more than three years, and that the new government should lead an efficient and non-partisan party.

But with the ongoing consultations in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa within the components of the forces of freedom and change, including the armed movements, leaked leaks about the nomination of the names of party leaders and members of the armed movements to take up executive portfolios and participation in the sovereign council, in addition to assigning the prime minister to the President of the Sudanese Congress Party opposition Omar Ducker.

As a result of the angry reactions in the means of social communication of these leaks, the Sudanese Congress Party was forced to issue a statement confirming his position that none of his leaders to positions in the transitional government. However, the statement left the door ambiguous about the nomination of Dokir when he said that the latter was nominated by a number of parties, and this demonstrates the high confidence held by the party among the Sudanese.

Sudan Appeal
A few weeks ago, Dukir's shares appeared to rise to become prime minister, especially when he was joined by the Sudan Appeal bloc, which he heads, and presented him as a candidate for the post, while the group of professionals brought the renowned economist Abdullah Hamdok to the post.

The leader of the Sudanese Congress Party, Noureddine Saladin, told Al Jazeera Net that his organization has decided not to push any of his officials to run for executive office, with the possibility of participating in the Legislative Council. "But if the other blocs agree on any figure in the Sudanese conference, the party will certainly support this consensus."

The latest sentence of Noureddine seems to be the key, especially since the press reports that Dukir does not want to continue to lead the party and run for another term when his current term expires in January. Sources close to the Sudanese conference did not rule out his resignation from the party He served as prime minister.

Political Agreement
The political agreement signed by the transitional military junta with the forces of freedom and change remained silent in its final version of the requirement not to belong to the party of the prime minister, and left the details of the constitutional declaration.

But the important thing is that the political agreement deprived everyone in the transitional government of having the first direct elections to follow the transitional period. A well-known Sudanese politician, who has not been named, says many are competing for positions now that they know the ballot boxes will not come with them Absolutely.

A reliable source told Al-Jazeera Net that the forces of freedom and change face a problem in nominating names because of the many forces that make up this alliance, and the sense of each bloc of preference, which made the demands of the Umma Party and its allies for restructuring is very logical.

The former source confirmed that the nominations committee in the "Sudan Appeal" led by Sadiq al-Mahdi stopped its activity after it had only to submit candidates according to the criteria, and left the decision to the presidential council, which is the choice of the decision to restructure.

Complexities of negotiations
These complications led to the lack of agreement on any candidate for membership of the Council of sovereignty within the block, "appeal Sudan" in a large format, which includes armed organizations, while the cluster at home agreed to a candidate for prime minister.

Perhaps the great difficulty in consensus on the candidates led to the substance of the Addis Ababa consultations of the understanding of the forces of freedom and change with the armed movements on issues of war and peace to discuss how to distribute positions.

According to information obtained by Al-Jazeera Net, the SLM led by Minni Arko Minawi held consultations with 35% of the seats in the Council of Ministers. This angered most allies within the Alliance for Freedom and Change and led to consultations faltering after efforts were made to persuade Minawi to abandon the demand.

According to the latest news from the negotiations, there is consensus that the RUF, an alliance of armed movements, will be given two seats in the five-seat sovereign council for civilians, stressing that this was based on representation of the regions on the Council rather than on the principle of quotas.
