Al Jazeera has learned from its sources in Sudan that civilian forces have put forward a proposal to include the dispute over the integration of the Rapid Support Forces into the army in the final political agreement document.
Those sources referred to the idea of referring the matter to the Security and Defence Council, formed by the civilian government, if the military technical committees failed to resolve the problem.
On the other hand, a member of the Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Shams al-Din Kabbashi, reiterated the commitment of the armed forces to the ongoing political process, and their keenness to reach an agreement with all parties on outstanding issues, in preparation for signing the final agreement and forming a civilian government.
He pointed out that the armed forces have a spirit of flexibility and responsibility towards what preserves the security and stability of the country, during his meeting with the French special envoy for the Horn of Africa, Frédéric Cälifer.
According to the media of the Sovereignty Council, the meeting dealt with issues of security and stability of the Horn of Africa, and the situation in Chad, Central Africa, Libya and South Sudan.
On April 5, Sudanese sources told Al Jazeera that the parties to the framework agreement agreed to set a period of 6 days to resolve outstanding issues and sign the final agreement on <> of this month.
This came at the end of a meeting held by the parties at the presidential palace in Khartoum after the announcement of the postponement of the signing of the agreement, which was scheduled for that day, due to the lack of consensus of the parties to the framework agreement on some issues following a dispute regarding the integration of the Rapid Support Forces into the armed forces.
