SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune – Military council meets SPLM-N’s Arman, ending contention over his return to Sudan
Sudan Tribune reports The TMC held a meeting with the deputy leader of Sudanese rebel group, the Sudanese People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), Yassir Arman. The meeting ended controversial demands for Arman to leave Sudan.
His return was welcomed by political forces and seen as a positive step towards ending the armed conflicts as it would encourage the other groups to follow his example, but the TMC seniority demanded that he leave.
However, Arman, and the SPLM-N secretary general Ismail Jallab were received by TMC spokesperson Shams Al Din Kabbashi and TMC political committee chief Yassir Al Atta. An SPLM-N statement said that the meeting was “frank and open and dealt with the current political situation, issues of just peace and ending wars forever.”
