The Supreme Council of Beja Spectacles and Independent Columns in eastern Sudan said the political process could not proceed without resolving the issues of the east. The council noted its opposition to any political action or timetable for the formation of a government that most Sudanese reject, as it described.
Open options
Jibril Ibrahim, deputy head of the Democratic Bloc and head of Sudan's Justice and Equality Movement, said all options were open if the political process continued, including a military coup.
He added – during a press conference – that they told the head of the Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan that the stability of the country will not be achieved if the Central Council continues to monopolize the political process, as he put it.

The draft agreement included general principles, issues and concerns of the transition as well as the structures of the transitional authority.
