6/11/2020: Radio Dabanga - SPA: New Sudan parliamentary structure 'will cause complications'

 Radio Dabanga report that the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) have invited the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) to discuss the formation of a parliament in Sudan, according to new percentages agreed in the Juba Peace Agreement.

 The SPA said the current proposed parliamentary structure – exclusively comprising of peace negotiation participants - will lead to “the formation of an ineffective and quarrelsome legislative council” and “complications regarding representation of rebel movements not included in the peace agreement.”

 The SPA called for the inclusion of Resistance Committees, the Families of the December Revolution Victims, and all minority groups in Sudan in the council.

 The added that the FFC Central Council for Freedom and Change is not qualified to lead the formation of the Legislative Council, and criticised the “individual approach followed by the FFC Central Council by inviting revolutionary groups separately for formal consultations while imposing de facto directions”.
