Sudan’s Resistance Committees and Coordination Committees announced yesterday that they are activating the Revolutionary Charter for the Establishment of the People’s Authority.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, 55 resistance committees and revolutionary bodies signed the new Revolutionary Charter<\/a> for the Establishment of the People’s Authority, a political vision for the resistance committees.<\/p>\n

The resistance committees have been working for a while to unify two different charters<\/a> presented by the resistance committees of Wad Madani and Khartoum.<\/p>\n

The Technical Committee of the Charter explained in a press statement that the goals and issues raised by the resistance committees will be the basic building blocks for the formation of a unified body that will include all the revolutionary forces.<\/p>\n

The unification attempts came after various calls for unity<\/a> amongst Sudan’s opposition.<\/p>\n

The charter provides for the abolition of the 2019 Constitutional Document, the inclusion of the Juba Peace Agreement protocols, and the establishment of a transitional constitution based on the resistance committees’ revolutionary charter. It also stipulates that the (civilian) prime minister is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.<\/p>\n

The charter adopted a decentralised system of government in the transitional period.<\/p>\n

The signatories also affirmed their rejection of any calls for direct or indirect negotiations with the coup plotters and called for the continuation of peaceful resistance.<\/p>\n

The charter stipulates the overthrow of the October 25 coup elements and demands accountability of all those involved from both civil and military forces.<\/p>\n

Different visions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unification of the charters comes in a period of great political turmoil in Sudan. Following the coup, Sudan has been in a political crisis and different groups are pulling in different directions to determine the course of Sudan’s political future.<\/p>\n

The mainstream Forces for Freedom and Change-Central Council (the coalition split<\/a> earlier this year) has proposed their vision<\/a> for Sudan’s political transition and so have various other groups<\/a>, including supporters of the coup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, the SBA drafted a constitutional framework<\/a> for the transitional period that received broad support, but also criticism. A group of Sudanese women also presented a new unified gender-responsive constitutional vision<\/a>.<\/p>\n
