 Sudan’s former ruling National Congress Party of ousted president Omar al-Bashir rejected a law passed by transitional authorities to dissolve the NCP and seize its assets, vowing to continue internal reform efforts.

 In a statement, the NCP said the move “would add nothing to the country but tension.” The NCP also lambasted the Forces for Freedom and Change for its “reckless decisions [which] want to return Sudan to the malicious, vicious cycle that has held back the country for the past 63 years.”

 The NCP said its right to participate in political life was guaranteed by national and international statutes.

 Hardline Islamist cleric Mohamed Ali Jazuli warned that the law had potential to trigger a civil war, later telling AFP that the decision to adopt the law was "unjust, arbitrary and authoritarian.”
