A framework agreement aimed at resuming a democratic transition headed by the civilian population will likely be signed by Sudan’s former civilian ruling coalition and the Sudan military junta.
According to extensive local media coverage, the accord is also anticipated to put an end to the political turmoil brought on by a military coup in October 2021.
The agreement, according to the Forces for Freedom and Change – Central Council (FFC-CC), will put an end to the military takeover and establish a new constitution that will open the door for a final agreement on the country’s transitional period.
In a statement on Sunday, FFC-CC said the coalition’s priorities were “issues of justice, the dismantling the structure of the 30 June 1989 regime, recovering public funds, security reforms, structuring and integrating forces, and defining their tasks in a civil democratic state, as well as achieving comprehensive and sustainable peace”.
Pro-democracy organizations led by the Sudanese Resistance Committees have come out against the upcoming agreement, claiming that the FFC-CC agreed to provide the military officials immunity from prosecution once they ceded control.
These charges have been refuted by the FFC-CC. Major demonstrations against the agreement have been called for by some activist groups for Monday.
Wajdi Salih, a well-known politician, was freed by Sudanese authorities before to the agreement’s signature.
He was the chairman of the anti-corruption committee in charge of overthrowing the administration of the late president Omar al-Bashir.
