3/12/2022: Sudan Tribune - Islamist groups reject Sudan’s framework agreement

Sudan Tribune report that People’s Call, an Islamist coalition, demonstrated in Khartoum to voice their opposition to a framework agreement between the military component and civilian forces. The group had recently held a dialogue in favour of the coup leaders.

Mohamed Ali al-Jazouli, the leader of a radical Islamist group, warmed: “we will resist the leadership of the military component and are ready to close the East and North and transfer the protests to the Army General Command” which Sudan Tribune stated meant “they would call on the army to side with them and seize power.”

Sudan Tribune note that Islamist groups reappeared on the political scene after the coup of October 25, 2021, which caused tensions within the military component as the army’s commander-in-chief Abdulfattah al-Burhan sought to use them to support the coup, while the commander of the Rapid Support Forces stood against the move.
