JUBA – February 24, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North under the leadership of Abdelaziz El Hilu (SPLM-N El Hilu) and the Forces for Freedom and Change-Democratic Block (FFC-DB) signed a joint political declaration on the formation of a transitional government yesterday in Juba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Hilu and Jaafar El Mirghan, representative of the FFC-DB<\/a> and Vice-President of the mainstream Democratic Unionist Party, signed the declaration that asks for national consensus, reconciliation, and political accommodation to ensure the formation of a transitional government in Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration addresses the political crisis and stressed the need to rebuild the Sudanese state on a ‘new basis’ that leans on principles of secularism (the separation of religion and state), a decentralised government system, and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The declaration affirmed that the transitional period should be a platform for restructuring and building the Sudanese state on new foundations and for drafting a permanent constitution based on the above-mentioned principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe two parties thoroughly discussed the current political situation and agreed on the need for national consensus paving the way towards the formation of a civilian government that contributes positively to advancing the peace process and ensuring its sustainability by addressing the root causes of the Sudanese crisis,\u201d the declaration reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integration of the Rapid Support Forces and armed rebel movements into a unified Sudanese Armed Forces<\/a> (SAF), according to a specified timetable, is also addressed in the declaration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both parties have previously refused to sign<\/a> the Framework Agreement.<\/p>\n
