The Leader described the Sudanese "Professionals Association", Dr. Farah Saleh Farah, the Sudanese sovereignty council which was formed after the agreement of the constitutional document as "honorary", and that his powers do not contradict with the powers of the "executive" government. Farah denied accusations of "quotas" in the nominations of the Sudanese government, and expressed optimism to reach peace agreements, including with the factions «Abdul Aziz al-Hilo and Abdul Wahid». He played down the impact of the Communist Party's opposition to the agreement, welcoming the difference and reserving its "timing." He also considered that the door is open to all Sudanese political forces for political participation, "except for the National Congress," the former regime party, which calls on all forces of the revolution and the street to "ban, hold, and prosecute." He stressed that the revolution "is aimed at building a new Sudan, not revenge."
Dr. Farah Saleh Farah, a professor at the Association of University Professors, Colleges and Higher Institutes, told the Emirates Today in Cairo that there is no truth to the quotas in the Sudanese government nominations currently being formed. From Prime Minister Dr. Abdullah Hamdouk, whose academic background and field experience are the main reasons for his candidacy, and to Mohammed Hassan Al-Ta'ayshi, who was chosen as a human rights activist, not Nicola Abdel-Messiah, who was a consultant in the Sudanese Ministry of Justice and has no political affiliation. Known ». Farah described the crisis of Siddique's candidacy as "contrived," and said that "the nomination of Naor was done as an academic and with the entrance of geographical representation, not as an Arabist, representing the Nubaeans, as some have tried to portray it as contradictory." Farah pointed out that «the existence of a previous political history or old political background for all or any candidate does not mean quotas, not only because it is difficult to free someone who addressed the public work and joined the revolutionary to adopt a political vision to one degree or another, but also because quotas mean in The simplest form is that parties or currents adopt representatives and their program.
On the possibility of a contact between the powers of the "Council of Sovereignty" and the "Council of Ministers," Farah said: "This possibility is highly unlikely. The Council of Sovereignty (honorific), as indicated in the document of the agreement between the military council and the forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change, while the Council of Ministers (executive) That is, the task of the Sovereignty Council is not to nominate and not to choose, but only to approve the nominations, both for the ministers or for the Chief Justice, the Attorney General and the Auditor General ». Farah continued that «the forces of freedom and change sought in the negotiations to be the ministers of defense and interior civilians until all ambiguity on this matter, but the military council refused, and suggested the forces of freedom and change to be retired military (pensioners), the military council continued rejection, and agreed (freedom and change) In the end, they must be (or not) in service at the option of the military council, relying on not seeking or confusing that the sovereign council can reject any candidate not accepted by the street or revolution, and that the matter is settled by a numerical majority, and the announcement of fateful decisions such as The declaration of war or emergency must be made by the Paltin Coordination between the two chambers, also settled within the sovereignty of mechanical majority ».
Regarding the rejection of the agreement by the Sudanese Communist Party, and what this means within the components of freedom and change, Farah said that the difference is a healthy situation, and that the revolution was launched mainly against dictatorship, oppression and one opinion. We consider this an exercise in democracy, but the timing of the disagreement and its declaration before signing is unacceptable. However, the party considered this position a historical position recorded in anticipation of the fears, the party representative Siddiq Yusuf attended the signing ceremony, and announced his support for the new government with the right to oppose them, and the party announced its intention to participate in the (Legislative Council) to be formed 90 days after the announcement The government, although the party previously abstained from participating in the sovereign council and cabinet ».
Farah said that «the Sudanese revolution is very sensitive against the criminalization of difference or the pursuit of exclusion, or the right of persons or political forces to see the developments from this angle or that».
In response to the reports of forces and voices in the Sudanese street that the face of «freedom and change» of the former regime and the deep state is so far soft and slow, and that it did not ban until the "National Conference", did not face in any way as expected «Alkizan», and did not prosecute "First, this must be remembered every moment," Farah said. "Freedom and change do not govern, but it is a current that exists in the street and expresses the street by revolutionary legitimacy and not by constitutional or legal legitimacy." Until the signing of the Constitutional Document, its consensus was essential On the overthrow of the regime and (Down with Bas), how is it required to prohibit, authorize or prosecute? Secondly, the prohibition, authorization and trial, whether in the transitional phase or later, must be carried out in accordance with the law and legislation and not in accordance with the wishes. Otherwise, we will leave the door looting for all storms. Declared press statements on the prohibition of the National Congress and holding those responsible politically accountable for the disasters experienced by Sudan since the Bashir coup until the fall of his regime, as well as those who stood by this regime and supported its crimes until the last night of the revolution, such as leaders in the Popular Congress or others. This accountability will be done by law according to the involvement or non-involvement of any person in crimes against the Sudanese people, and after accountability, and after the prohibition of the National Congress, it becomes the right of every Sudanese to participate in the political process in his country as a free citizen without restrictions, the revolution came to build not to retaliate, as for the trial Al-Bashir's current forces have officially declared their reservations on their scope and limitations, and our solidarity with our people in the need for a comprehensive and comprehensive trial for all the crimes committed by Bashir and his regime and in all their massacres, thefts, plots, looting and negligence. ''
Farah pointed out that «the Sudanese people realize that the repression, massacres and dictatorship suffered in the last thirty years was in large part because of the political use of religion and the inclusion of religion in politics, and there is a great sensitivity among large sections of young people against this trend, and against the establishment of religious parties But there are points that the outside observer does not notice for this matter, that a number of youth (the People's Congress) and parties with a religious anger participated in the revolution, and that there is a consensus on the need now to focus on the trial and accountability of the Bashir regime, must be preserved, and can break If the confrontation is widened, the constitution of the revolution is not Katoob that everything is done to democracy, the law and the fund, it is al-Faisal, in the end, despite all this, the battle of the Sudanese revolution against the political use of religion, as the battle against sectarianism, regional, racism, dictatorship, ongoing and continuous, and the march long ».
Regarding the position of «freedom and change» on the issues of killing demonstrators, especially after the signing of the constitutional document and the issuance of the decision of the «Military Council» investigation «massacre of the General Command», Farah said that «our position on the cases of killing demonstrators fixed, and we did not accept the report of the military council on the massacre We have considered this issue at the heart of the revolution's issues.We sought in the negotiations of the document to establish an independent international commission.When our request did not find a response from the military council, we agreed to an independent national committee to be entitled to seek technical support from the African Union. We consider the issue of the blood of the martyrs and the accountability of those involved in the massacre of the General Command of the tasks and priorities of the transitional government, and we will not fail our people in that ».
In response to a question about the fears of the Sudanese street of Sudan's submission to international financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and lending policies against small countries, especially in light of the number of candidates for the government to these institutions, Farah said «Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk responded in his first television interview With the media Faisal Mohammed Saleh clearly on this fear, because he knows that it is strongly in Sudan, first of these major financial institutions can not be ignored and must be dealt with, but as Dr. Hamdouk explained that the new Sudan will determine its needs and requirements, and will not accept to impose P Yeh conditions from the outside, and there are many experiences of small countries that have been able to deal with these institutions in this logic and succeeded ».
Farah said that the new Sudan seeks to be at the same distance from everyone in its foreign relations regionally and internationally, taking into consideration the importance of its Arab and African environment and the historical relations that bind it to Egypt, within the framework of parity, independence and achieving the interests of the Sudanese people.
On the guarantees of the continuation of the agreement between the military council and the forces of freedom and change and the continuation of the Sudanese revolution until the fulfillment of its demands, Farah said «we have no guarantees on the way it was put forward after the revolutions of 1964 and 1985 to pledge not to resort to coups from these forces or those and then penetrated, but we have stronger guarantees Much of that, we have the awareness that our people have gained and who has been living in a major political workshop since December 2018 to this day.At the heart of this workshop is the daily debates that took place in front of the leadership.We have the National Resistance Committees in the neighborhoods that have become a revolutionary popular force that represents the depth of the December Revolution. We have trot We saw the victory over the counterrevolution every time I tried to pounce on the forces of the revolution and came back defeated. We have the professional unions and the unique experience of the Professionals, which represents a new chapter in the book of the revolution, which is ready to return in the event of any reaction to the revolution, realizing that the possible circumstances in those The situation will in no way be more difficult than the conditions facing the totalitarian military regime. "We consider these guarantees sufficient."
Optimism that peace can be achieved across Sudan
Farah Saleh expressed optimism about the possibility of achieving peace in all parts of Sudan and the conclusion of peace agreements with the Revolutionary Front and various armed movements. He said that «the Revolutionary Front is part of the forces of the revolution, and as we agreed to overthrow the regime, and agreed on how to govern Sudan, we now agree on who rules Sudan, as all armed movements that resisted injustice and marginalization played a role in the project of change and in the face of the former military totalitarian regime, and we are confident that we will reach a real peace even with other movements outside the revolutionary front, such as the popular wing of Abdul Aziz al-Hilo, or the liberation of Sudan - Abdel Wahed, because we Believe in We are aware of the massacres and violations, and we believe in their right to redress, and that this is part of the project of the revolution itself, and we believe that there are many possible formulas to reach consensus. ''
Farah Saleh:

Or political forces in seeing the developments
From this angle or that ».
- «New Sudan seeks to be at a distance
One of everyone in his foreign relations regionally
Internationally, taking into account the importance of its environment
Arab and African.
