Today, Friday, Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok presented a 10-axis roadmap to get out of the political crisis in the country, as a result of the aggravation of the dispute between the civil and military components of the government. .
The Sudanese Prime Minister explained - in a televised speech - that he had drawn up a road map to resolve the current crisis based on his discussions with the concerned parties, and added that the entrance to the implementation of this map is the immediate cessation of all forms of escalation between all parties, the return of work in the institutions of the transitional period, and the management of differences. Outside it, and agreeing that issues of terrorism and security threats should not be subject to ploys, outbidding or bickering, as they are national security issues.
Hamdok's map also includes avoiding taking any unilateral decisions or steps, and that the reference for consensus between the components of the transitional authority is the constitutional document, and the commitment to dismantling the party state in the interest of the nation's state as a constitutional obligation, with a review of ways and means of work and ensuring the right to appeal, according to Hamdok.
Forces of Freedom and Change
The map calls for ending the state of division and discord among all components of freedom and change to expand the base of the political government, and broad consensus on a broadly representative Legislative Council of all Sudanese. The map also includes the achievement of transitional justice and commitment to the Prime Minister’s initiative as a consensual platform.
The Sudanese Prime Minister said that the current crisis in the country is the worst and most dangerous crisis threatening the democratic transition, which followed the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir's rule. Hamdok added that the failed coup attempt that took place last month inflamed differences rather than being an opportunity to alert everyone to the dangers facing the country.
The Sudanese official denied that the current conflict in the country is between civilians and the military, but rather between the camp of the democratic transition and the camp of the coup against the revolution, as he put it.
For weeks, tension has escalated between the military and civilian components of the transitional authority, due to criticism by military leaders of the political forces, against the background of thwarting a coup attempt last September 21.
Sudan has been living - since August 21, 2019 - a 53-month transitional period that ends with elections in early 2024, during which power is shared by the army, civilian forces and the armed movements that signed the peace agreement.
