The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC), Sudan’s main civilian political coalition, rejected any negotiation with the military.

The FFC affirmed its rejection of the coup and the resulting measures and stressed its adherence to the constitutional declaration governing the transitional period.

The FFC’s statement read: “We declare our total rejection of negotiations with the putschists, the inevitability of a return to the situation before October 25, 2021, and the return of the legitimate civilian government to carry out its duties under the leadership of the legitimate Prime Minister, Dr Abdullah Hamdok”.

The FFC’s position contrasts with a proposition recently made by the Sudanese Professional Association calling to adopt a new constitutional declaration ending any partnership with the military component.
