29/9/19: Sudan Tribune - Juba Declaration violates Sudan’s transitional constitution, says FFC official

 Sudan Tribune reports that Wajdi Saleh, a Forces of Freedom and Change spokesman, said that The Juba Declaration for peace in Sudan has violated the transitional constitution, as it stipulates that the appointment of state governors may be postponed until the signing of a peace agreement.

 In line with ’The Juba Declaration of Confidence Building Measures and the Preparation for Negotiation’, the Sudanese government and the armed groups agreed to delay the formation of the transitional parliament and the appointment of state governors until the conclusion of the peace process.

 "No Sudanese official…shall be allowed to enter agreements violating the Constitutional Document, which is the supreme law,” said Saleh.

 However, Saleh added that the FFC is willing to amend the Constitutional Document if there is an agreement to do so.
