SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune – Sudan’s FFC leaders cancel public meeting in North Darfur after hostile protest
Sudan Tribune reports that a group of youth in El-Fasher in Darfur have prevented a public meeting organised by the Forces of Freedom and Change – in protest of the FFC’s rejection of the demands made by Darfuri rebels for peace to be prioritised in Sudan’s transition.
A high-profile FFC delegation that included Mohamed Nagi Alasam of the Sudanese Professionals Association planned to address El-Fasher as part of a national tour to mobilize popular support for the upcoming government.
However, a group of youth – reportedly sympathisers of Sudanese rebels - held banners against the Sudan’s transitional documents, chanted "No, no for marginalization" and "Where is peace? where is the revolution?,” and threw stones at the delegation when Alasam took the floor to make a speech.
Sudanese rebel groups have accused the FFC of being the second incarnation of Al Bashir’s regime.
