SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Sudan rebels: nominations for ministers are ‘quotas in its ugliest form’

1/9/19: Radio Dabanga - Sudan rebels: nominations for ministers are ‘quotas in its ugliest form’

 Radio Dabanga reports that the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) rejects the list of nominations of ministers for the interim government, calling on Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok to conduct broader consultations, including the SRF, before forming a government.

 In a statement, the SRF said that “the revolution has been taken over by individuals and political forces that use revolution to get power themselves.”

 They accused the Forces of Freedom and Change of being disinterested in resolving issues of war, citizenship and diversity .

 SRF chairman Minni Minnawi accused the FFC of racism, and stated that they “hijacked” the revolution, citing SRF members drafting the Declaration of Freedom and Change and leading the political committee abroad.

 Minnawi disputed the FFC claim that the SRF demanded a fixed number of ministers in the transitional government, saying that the SRF merely called for the peace to be centred in the Constitutional Declaration.
