Anticipating the results and multiple scenarios for solutions.. Intense American meetings with the parties to the Sudanese crisis

KHARTOUM -

An active American shuttle movement escalated with the intensification of the political crisis in Sudan. Hours before the deputy US envoy for the Horn of Africa left the capital, Khartoum - which he arrived at with the beginning of the escalation of the crisis - the plane of the American envoy, Jeffrey Feltman, landed at Khartoum International Airport to begin their talks with all parties to discuss prospects for resolving the current crisis.

Not only did Washington send its envoys to the site of the event, but also - coinciding with the arrival of the envoy to Sudan - US Senator Bob Menendez, Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued a tweet in which he affirmed his country's strong support for the aspirations of the Sudanese people to move to a democratic system with civilian leadership, and demanded The military authorities exercise restraint, and concluded the tweet that any coup would have dire consequences.

Since his arrival, Feltman entered into a meeting at the presidential palace that included the Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and the Sudanese Prime Minister, Abdullah Hamdok.

It is the meeting in which Feltman stressed the United States of America's support for a democratic and civil transition in accordance with the declared wishes of the Sudanese people, and in which he urged all parties to renew their commitment to work together to implement the Constitutional Declaration and the Juba Peace Agreement, according to a publication issued by the US Embassy in Khartoum.

The American interest is matched by widespread anticipation in Sudan for the possible solutions to the current crisis. Muhammad Naji Al-Asam, a leader in the "Freedom and Change, Central Council" forces, says - in his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, "there is no specific formula proposed by the Americans, and we are in the process of meeting this evening," and Al-Asam continues, stressing that the position of "freedom and change" is to fortify the transition, and that they do not object. Any formula offered by Washington to solve the current political crisis that guarantees the achievement of the interests of the Sudanese people and the realization of their aspirations for freedom and democracy. "But we count more on the Sudanese people to pressure the achievement of all the goals of the revolution, and he came out on October 21 and said his word clearly in democracy and the civil state."

The US envoy met with the leaders of the "Justice and Equality Movement" Gabriel Ibrahim and "Sudan Liberation" Mina Arko Minawi, and Professor Hassan Fadl al-Mawla - a leader in the Justice and Equality Movement - said that the meeting dealt with all aspects of the crisis, noting that the Americans did not put forward a road map for a solution, but they emphasized On the importance of the democratic transition in Sudan, the movement, for its part, emphasized the expansion of the base of participation in the government.

Regarding their demands to dissolve the government, he considered that this demand is one of the mechanisms for resolving the crisis, according to their view, but they are open to any agreed upon solutions that lead to a solution to the crisis.

The US envoy also met with Minister of Presidential Affairs Khaled Omar and Yasser Arman.

According to Omar, the meeting stressed the importance of the commitment of all components of the transitional period to the provisions of the Constitutional Document and the Juba Peace Agreement, and the continuation of security arrangements.

Dr. Khaled El-Tijani, writer and political analyst, stresses the importance of the external role in resolving the current crisis, due to the blockage of the horizon between the components at home, and the major roles that the outside played in establishing the transitional period since its inception, referring to the role of the African Union, the countries of the region and the Troika in reaching a settlement. The policy that came out in the form of partnership between civilians and the military. Al-Tijani believes that the American presence in Sudanese affairs is motivated by Washington's interest in the stability of the region and the fight against terrorism.

Al-Tijani said - in an interview with Al-Jazeera Net - that the visit of the American envoy to the Horn of Africa, Feltman, comes after the escalation of the crisis between the components of the transitional authority in the context of seeking to reset the equation.

He pointed out that Washington has many pressure cards that it can use in this.

He said that the American steps began before the envoy's arrival with the proposal of a "crisis cell" through the troika group, which the Council of Ministers announced in its meeting a few days ago, which includes members from all concerned parties.

But the forces of "Freedom and Change - the Central Council" have another opinion, as Al-Asam confirms to Al-Jazeera Net that their position is consistent towards the "crisis cell", and said that their last letter to Hamdok specified that the crisis between two parties includes them and includes the military component of the Sovereignty Council.

He explained that Jibril Ibrahim and Mona Arko Minawi defected from freedom and change for organizational reasons, and expressed the readiness of the Central Council to sit with them to discuss issues that concern them and reach solutions.

Muhammad Naji Al-Asam: The constitutional document does not contain a text allowing the dissolution of the Sovereign Council (SUNA)

The solution is in the solution

The failure to announce a clearly defined American formula makes the leaks of the Sovereignty Council and the Council of Ministers solution a way out of the current crisis.

The head of the Sudan Liberation Movement said in press statements that the heads of the Sovereignty Council and the ministers agreed to dissolve the two councils, but they differed in the procedures, which was denied by a member of the Transitional Sovereign Council, Muhammad Suleiman Al-Faki, to Al-Jazeera, saying that the matter is not possible through normal political methods or the constitutional document.

Muhammad Al-Asam confirms what the head of the Sudan Liberation Movement said in his interview with Al Jazeera Net, that the constitutional document does not contain a text allowing the dissolution of the Sovereign Council, and that there are mechanisms to dissolve the executive government. Al-Asam stressed that the decision to dissolve the government is not in the hands of any party but "freedom and change" whenever necessary, referring to the government's earlier dissolution and the dismissal of ministers. Al-Asam accused the parties calling for the dissolution of the government to escape from the main issues he identified in adhering to the constitutional document, the formation of commissions and the Legislative Council, and the restructuring of the armed forces and regular agencies.

However, Khaled al-Tijani believes that the issue of the government - regardless of the American role - is a matter of time, "especially with the paralysis that hangs over its performance as a result of the state of division in which it is living."

Al-Tijani told Al-Jazeera Net that Freedom and Change took steps by announcing the expansion of the base of participation, which is consistent with the vision of the Sovereignty's military.

He pointed out that the point of disagreement has become about who is entitled to participate and not in the principle itself.

The formation of the crisis cell - in the form proposed by Hamdok - was considered an official recognition of the non-representation of the Central Council group for all the forces of freedom and change.

until the US envoy for the Horn of Africa leaves Sudan;

The features of the crisis will continue to cast a shadow over the entire scene, and it will be addressed if the parties agree in order to ward off its effects.

The east of the country is still closed and its repercussions exist on the economy and the movement of trade, and central Khartoum is teeming with turmoil and impedes the movement of citizens in its three cities affected by high prices and security turmoil.
