30/12/2022: Sudan Tribune - Who made it into Sudan’s framework agreement?

Sudan Tribune report on the divides between factions of the Forces of Freedom and Change coalition over the framework agreement, noting that it was signed by the Central Council (FFC-CC) but rejected by the pro-coup Democratic Block (FFC-DB).

FFC-CC official Ja’afar Hassan said dialogue with FFC-DB members, the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) led by Minni Minnawi and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) led by finance minister Jibril Ibrahim, was “continuing because we are aware of the importance of their presence” as armed groups who signed the Juba peace agreement.

However, Sudan Tribune note, Minnawi alleges that a transitional civilian government excludes his group from participating in the next government as it lacks civilians and technocrats.

FFC-CC official Shihab al-Tayyib said pro-coup figures such as Mubarak Ardol, the Secretary-General of the pro-coup National Consensus Forces (NCF), and Mubarak al-Fadil, the head of a Umma Party faction, are unwelcome.
