Members of a WhatsApp group, which includes journalists supporting Sudan’s ousted President Omar al-Bashir’s National Congress Party (NCP), called for NCP leaders to be included in the national consensus and for the dissolution of the “Empowerment Removal Committee” targeting them, according to the Sudan Tribune.
In addition, journalists, putting aside the collapse of the old regime in April 2019, offered early elections to the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC), the umbrella organization of the civil wing of the December protests.
In recent months, many groups within the FFC have been disturbed by the failures of the transitional government.
Following the call of journalists, Yasir Arman, the Vice President of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), led by Malik Agar, stated that this movement aims to prevent the democratic transition in Sudan, and states that such calls aim to resurrect the old regime and will prevent the implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement.
In this context, Arman stated: “We cannot demand the handover of its leaders to The Hague and to cooperate with the war crimes court, and at the same time seek reconciliation with the NCP.”
The high inflation experienced in Sudan in recent months, the sharp increases in the exchange rate, unemployment and the ineffectiveness of the economic reforms have created disappointments against the transitional government on a social basis. In this regard, demonstrations are taking place against the transitional government from different grassroots, especially the religious groups in the country.
Following the recent protests against the transitional government in Sudan, Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok stated in June that he would reassemble the components of the revolution. The Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF), the National Umma Party (NUP) and the FFC agreed on the call of the Prime Minister to form a single leadership, leaving their differences aside.
