The new management team must be unveiled in the day of this Wednesday. It will be composed of 14 ministers maximum. But the announcement of this government could however be a little late.
A delay that many statements in the press suggest. Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok initially had 24 hours to form a government with 14 ministerial posts. He received for this a list of 49 names that was sent to him only on Tuesday night. A list of proposals sent by the Forces for Freedom and Change.
This will be the first civilian government for Sudan for 30 years. A government restricted by the political and economic situation of the country. The choice of personalities should be made according to the skills of each, with a " fair " representation for women , said the Prime Minister. The idea is to compose a cabinet that is representative of all Sudanese.
" Freedom will come true with more struggle "
The negotiations are therefore continuing assiduously this Wednesday. The Revolutionary Front, which represents three former rebel movements, criticizes leaving regions long marginalized without representation in government. They denounce a " geographical imbalance " while calling on the wisdom of the Prime Minister to correct the situation.
Others, such as Minni Minnawi , the president of the Sudan Liberation Movement, have chosen the tough challenge. The latter has gathered forces near the Chad-Libyan border in northern Darfur. There is a real military parade with heavy weapons. He also showed his dissatisfaction by criticizing the distribution of positions in the Sovereign Council.
For him, the Forces for Freedom and Change confiscated the revolution, and distributed ministerial positions among themselves. " Freedom will come with more struggle, " Minni Minnawi warned.
