SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Islamist forces call to task military with Sudan’s transitional leadership

24/04/19: Sudan Tribune- Islamist forces call to task military with Sudan’s transitional leadership

 Sudan Tribune reports that Islamist forces of Sudan have expressed support for the transitionary period to be led by the military council, alongside a civilian government and an appointed parliamentary assembly.

 The calls come after the Popular Congress Party (PCP) and the National Coordination for Change and Construction (NCCC) met separately with the military council’s political committee.

 Political secretary of the PCP, Idris Suleiman, stated that the PCP would not like to be a part of the transitional government, and recommended that it ought to be made up of “politically independent qualified personalities.”

 He also calls for an “either-or” approach where the interim military council should either be a sovereign military council or a sovereign civilian council, not a mix of both as the Freedom and Change Forces are calling for.

 The NCCC group includes numerous Islamist figures who were known to be critical towards the regime of former president Omar Al Bashir.
