5/5/2020: Sudan Tribune - SRF accepts appointment of Sudan’s state governors under certain conditions

 Sudan Tribune reports that the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) is willing to accept to accept the appointment of civilian state governors, as long as it is involved in their selection.

 In a letter to Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and Sovereign Council head and deputy head, Abdelfattah al-Burhan and Himedti respectively, SRF proposed that “selected governors should have sufficient administrative experience, acceptance from local residents, especially in the conflict-affected states [and] must be chosen from apolitical and qualified cadre who represent Sudan’s diversity, with fair representation of women.”

 The SRF also want to “repeal everything [harmful to] the peace process” from an transitional implementation agreement struck by the Sovereign government, the government and the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC).

 The SRF also seeks independence within the FFC, exiting the Sudan Call alliance with the National Umma Party (NUP) and the Sudanese Congress Party.
