8/12/2020: Radio Dabanga - El Burhan responds to criticism against Sudan Transitional Partners Council

 Radio Dabanga reports that the chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, Lt Gen Abdelfattah al-Burhan, stressed the importance of examining the structure and the arrangement of tasks of the Transitional Partners Council (TPC), explaining   that the military component of the Sovereign Council respects and remains committed to the Constitutional Document signed by Sudan’s military and the Forces for Freedom and Change in 2019.

He also stressed the importance of overcoming crises with wisdom and collective action, adding that the formation of the TPC aims to enable state agencies to focus on solving people's problems.

 Nonetheless, the TPC has faced criticism from key stakeholders including Prime Minister Hamdok and the Central Council of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC), who stressed the importance of preventing a transgression of the power of the country's constitutional institutions to the TPC.
