The vice president of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hemeti) today accused politicians - he did not name them - of fueling tribal conflict in the country, and said that "politicians are invoking their tribes to fuel the conflict in the country."
"We do not want the tribe to become a peg for the politicians," Hemedti added in a public speech he gave in the Um Takal area in the White Nile state in southern Sudan.
The Sudanese official pledged to work for the achievement of democratic transformation in the country, and to reject sectarianism and regionalism.
Hemedti's accusation comes in light of the emergence of tribal blocs of political figures from north, east and central Sudan in the past two months, criticizing the peace agreement signed between the government and the Revolutionary Front (armed movements) last October.

Last month, the Sudanese businessman Ashraf Sayed Ahmed the Cardinal participated in the formation of a political entity to demand the rights of the north of Sudan, and the Shura Council of this political bloc includes 34 tribes, and the new entity allied with components of a political tribal character in eastern and central Sudan.
Last July, the Vice President of the Sovereignty Council warned of a deliberate plan for fighting and an internal agenda to disrupt peace in his country, and described what is happening in tribal conflicts in the country as artificial problems.
It is noteworthy that, after the overthrow of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019, Sudan is experiencing a transitional period that ends with elections in early 2024, during which power is shared by the army and civilian forces.
