Khartoum – Sudanhorizon
The Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, on Thursday met with a delegation from the Forces of Freedom and Change Alliance for National Issues. Also present were Lieutenant General Yasser al-Atta, member of the Sovereign Council and Assistant Commander-in-Chief, and Lieutenant General Ahmed Ibrahim Mufaddal, Director of the General Intelligence Service.
Nour al-Din Salah al-Din, member of the Alliance’s political committee, explained in a press statement that the Alliance presented the Chairman of the Sovereign Council with a memorandum expressing its desire to initiate a dialogue with the Armed Forces as part of a comprehensive dialogue process aimed at building the broadest possible political and social bloc. He emphasized that dialogue is the only and best way to achieve national consensus, which represents a bridge for Sudan to overcome its current crisis.
Salah al-Din stated that the memorandum tackles several key points, most notably how to end the war in favor of a state governed by the rule of law and institutions, regulate the relationship between civilian and military institutions, and initiate a path towards a civilian democratic transition, in addition to issues of military development, justice, and transitional justice.
He noted that the delegation received a positive response from the SAF leadership, indicating that the coming period will witness the convening of technical committees to discuss these issues, along with parallel dialogue with civil and community forces, as part of the coalition’s contribution to leading the country towards a foundational national consensus.
It is worth mentioning that the coalition includes several political organizations, most notably the Unionist Gathering, the Center Current for Change, the National Current, the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party (Sudan Regional Command), the Youth Rights Movement, and the National Will Party. The coalition has affirmed its openness to all political components that agree with the declaration of principles it has put forward.
