15/12/2022: Radio Dabanga - Sudan’s Socialist Ba’ath Party leaves FFC alliance over Framework Agreement

Radio Dabanga report that the mainstream Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party announced its departure from the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition due to the fact that the majority of coalition parties signed the Framework Agreement, which the party believes is “devoted to legitimising the October 25 coup”.

Radio Dabanga note that the Ba’ath party was a member of the newly-formed Forces for Freedom and Change-Democratic Block (FFC-DB), which also includes the National Accord Forces (NAF) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

The NAF, a faction of the FFC also referred to as the FFC-National Accord, are an alliance of former rebel movements including the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) led by finance minister Jibril Ibrahim, Sudan Liberation Movement faction headed by Darfur governor Minni Minnawi, and the Democratic Justice Alliance of Mubarak Ardol, director of the Mineral Resources Company and ex-member of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N).
