12/7/2020: Sudan Tribune - FFC should be consulted before new Sudan’s cabinet: official

 Sudan Tribune report that Siddiq Youssef, a leading member of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) and Sudanese Communist Party political bureau member, said that the Constitutional Document governing the transitional period stipulated that the FFC must be consulted in the upcoming cabinet reshuffle, adding that Prime Minister Hamdok is yet to do so.

 The article also reports that the Sudanese Congress Party (SCoP) announced its intention to join the second Hamdok government. The party said it decided to review its previous decision to not participate in the transitional after realising that it prevented them from contributing positively to the government activities.

 The SCoP added that with the ministerial reshuffle and the expected peace agreement, the new government will no longer be a technocrat cabinet, and that it will include the FFC and armed groups.
