The leader of the Sudan People's Call coalition, Bahar Abu Garda, said that the position of the military component on the political settlement is contradictory and divergent between the head of the Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and his deputy, Muhammad Hamdan Hamidati.
Abu Garda added that there is a lack of clarity regarding the military component that has committed itself to quitting political action, but this has not happened so far, as he put it.
In turn, the head of the tripartite mechanism for the political process in Sudan, Volker Peretz, said that the failure of some Sudanese parties to join the dialogue process is the most important challenge to reach consensus among the political parties in Sudan.
Peretz added - during a press conference he held in South Sudan - that the People's Movement-North, led by Abdel Aziz al-Hilu, proposed the existence of what he described as a rational government that can be negotiated with to end the country's political crisis.
As for the European Union's ambassador to Sudan, Aidan O'Hara, he said that the Union supports a comprehensive settlement that paves the way for the formation of a transitional civilian government.
O'Hara stressed, after presenting his credentials to the President of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, the need to reach a comprehensive consensus among all Sudanese components, and to resume the path of transitional civil rule as soon as possible.
It is noteworthy that the Sudanese Minister of Defense, Yassin Ibrahim, said - during a panel discussion on media and national security last month - that the military leadership does not mind working under the civilian leadership in the coming period.
The army commander, General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, announced early last month that there were understandings with the Forces for Freedom and Change, stressing at the same time that the next agreement would not be bilateral, and revealed that he had received pledges from the leaders of the coalition he was negotiating not to participate in the new government, and that it would not be partisan. As before, it will be composed of independent faces.
At an almost daily rate, Sudan is witnessing popular protests calling for the return of democratic civil rule, and rejecting Al-Burhan's exceptional measures, which the naysayers consider a "military coup." Power through elections or national consensus.
Tension and political crisis in Sudan increased after Al-Burhan's procedures in October 2021, when the Sovereign Council and the Transitional Ministers dissolved and Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok was dismissed.
