SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Multiple sources - Sudan rebels insist peace deal must proceed new parliament formation and state governor appointments
7/11/19: Multiple sources - Sudan rebels insist peace deal must proceed new parliament formation and state governor appointments
The Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) called on the Sudanese government to not appoint the civilian state governors, or form a new parliament, before a peace agreement is reached, pointing out that such a move would breach the Juba Declaration.
The Forces of Freedom Change announced on November 3 that they are in the process of appointing state governors and members of the Legislative Council by November 17.
However, SRF spokesman Osama Said told Sudan Tribune that during the peace talks in Juba, the SRF had rejected the government’s requests that they discard their insistence that the appointment of state governors is delayed until a peace agreement is reached.
Said added that if the government discards their insistence to delay the appointment of state governors, it would create a state of distrust and further delay a peace agreement.
