14/12/2020: Sudan Tribune - Sudanese parties agree on coordinating role of Partners Council

 Sudan Tribune report that the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), the military component of the Sovereign Council, and the Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) have agreed on the powers of the Transitional Partners Council, but failed to settle the dispute on the position of the Prime Minister in the new council.

 The participants agreed that the new council cannot interfere in the powers of the Council of Ministers or the Sovereign Council. Also, they reiterated that its role is strictly limited to coordinate between the Partners and resolve disputes that may arise between them.

 However, the participants did not resolve the dispute over the prime minister’s position in the Partners Council. Initially, it was agreed to appoint him as an alternate chairperson but the decree appointed him as a member.
