10/12/2022: Sudan Tribune - Questions swirling around Sudan’s PCP signature of framework agreement

Sudan Tribune report that observers have questioned the Islamist Popular Congress Party (PCP) signing of the framework agreement.

Ammar al-Sajjad, a PCP figure who is also at odds with its Secretary General Ali al-Haj, claimed that the latter came to an agreement with General Abdel-Fatah al-Burhan.

Al-Haj along with other PCP leading figures were arrested in connection with the 1989 military coup that brought President Omar al-Bashir to power in a plot orchestrated by the founder of National Islamic Front (NIF) and the PCP as its successor organisation - Hassan Al-Turabi.

The PCP reconciled with al-Bashir’s regime after 15 years in opposition ranks and joined his government up until its downfall in April 2019.
