SUDAN POLITICAL ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Aisha Musa’s letter of resignation from the Sovereign Council

23/5/2021: Radio Dabanga –Aisha Musa’s letter of resignation from the Sovereign Council

In her resignation letter from the ruling sovereign council, Aisha Musa called for arms controls, restructuring the security apparatus, establishing a parliament “as a basic necessity”, the transfer of power to civilians “as mandated by the Constitutional Document,” and a reformed justice system, which is “unattainable by replacing persons only”.

Musa emphasised the need for practical steps around setting laws that guarantee the flow of justice and forming a professional constitutional court capable of preventing transgressions on the constitution, alongside “working strongly towards a constitutional congress that guarantees laying of  a permanent democratic constitution”.

In addition, to support a “just” democratic transition, she said that a probe into the delayed publishing of the results of the investigation into the sit-in dispersal massacre (June 3 2019) must be within the priorities of a comprehensive governmental programme for which the yet unestablished justice commission shall be assigned.
