SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - FFC denies proposing to cede presidency to Sudan’s military council

22/5/19: Sudan Tribune – FFC denies proposing to cede presidency to Sudan’s military council

 Sudan Tribune reports that the Forces Freedom and Change (FFC) denied a German news agency report that they proposed to cede the presidency of the Sovereign Council to the military council.

However, an FFC official told Sudan Tribune that "this report was not accurate" adding that no proposals were made in this regard.

"On the other hand, it is true that some of the coalition forces, such as the Sudan Call and the Gathering of Unionists, have no objection to giving the presidency of the Sovereign Council provided the FFC gets the majority, while the National Consensus Forces and the Communist Party, in particular, are opposed to the move," said the FFC official under the cover of anonymity.

"As for the Sudanese Professionals Association, their position is volatile and demands a rotating presidency, and this may be due to the pressure of sit-inners," he added.
