16/2/2020: Sudan Tribune - Hemetti calls for code of conduct to achieve Sudan’s transition, complains of marginalization

 In a televised interview with Sudan 24, the deputy chairman of Sudan’s sovereign council, Himedti, complained of marginalisation by the civilian government, and called for a code of conduct to build confidence with the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC).

 Himedti, the Rapid Support Forces commander, denied efforts to obstruct the civilian-led government. He added that “we are confused about what do. We can help, provide services and take advantage of our relationships, but they do not allow us.”

 Himedti said his relations with the UAE and Saudi Arabia can help solve Sudan’s economic crisis, but complained that “some people kept insulting [Saudi Arabia and the UAE],” who he said “are the only countries that supported Sudan.”

 Himedti called for a “code of conduct in which [the sovereign council, cabinet, FFC, the youth and all supporters of change] pledge - to work for the interest of [Sudan].”
