The NUP, led by El Sadig El Mahdi, said that "participating in this march is a must for our masses in particular and for all Sudanese people’s sectors in general".<\/p>\n

The party said in a statement on Tuesday that what is required now to complete the fulfilment of the requirements of the revolution in the engineering of what El Mahdi called the unity of the opposition and the development of the Declaration of Freedom and Change to build a broad front that achieves the critical mass.<\/p>\n

The NUP rejected any attempts to re-produce the regime, whether by militarisation of power or through political, media or other campaigns<\/p>\n

In its statement, the party called for continued confidence in dealing with the political revolution, in accordance with the political charter, the transitional constitution and alternative policies, while continuing on its field paths with a variety of marches, sit-ins, protest vigils, general strikes and the peacefulness of the revolution.<\/p>\n
