7/11/2021: Sudan Tribune - Sudan’s SPA proposes new transition’s charter excluding military component

 

Sudan Tribune report that the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) proposed a new political charter to overthrow the military council and establish a civilian government without the military component.

 

The draft proposes a new technocrat prime minister, who would form a new transitional cabinet of 20 ministers maximum, and Sovereign Council of a maximum 5. The head of the government, the ministers, and the collegial presidency will not include political leaders but national figures supportive of the revolution and its goals, the SPA proposed.

 

The SPA alleged that army commander-in-chief Abdulfattah al-Burhan remained an obstacle to: abolishing of the laws inherited from the ousted regime, the dismissal of Islamists from the state apparatus and agencies, with the army and its militia hindering the economic reforms as they control 80% of Sudan’s economic resources in the country and refuse to transfer their companies to the government.
