SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Conclusions of SPLM-N workshop violate Sudan’s peace body decisions: official
Sudan Tribune report that the head of the Sudanese government delegation for the peace process, Lt Gen Shams al-Din Kabbashi said that the rejection of the recommendations of the informal workshop on secularism with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North faction of Abdelaziz al-Hilu (SPLM-N al-Hilu) was in line with the position of the Higher Peace Council.
Kabbashi told Sudanese newspaper al-Youm al-Tali that the Hamdok-Hilu agreement that preceded the secularism workshop was not approved by the Higher Peace Council, chaired by head of state Lt Gen Abdulfatah al-Burhan, as it stipulates that SPLM-N al-Hilu retains the right to self-determination until separation between religion and state are actualised.
