23/12/2019: Sudan Tribune - Sudan’s FFC; SPLM-N share same vision secular state: official

Sudan Tribune reports that Siddig Youssef, a prominent Communist in the Forces of Freedom and Change, said that the demands of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (Abdelaziz al-Hilu faction) for a secular state are in line with the Constitutional Document.

Youssef also agreed that the root causes of conflict should be addressed in the peace talks.

The SPLM-N (al-Hilu faction) is in disagreement with the transitional government over the latter’s rejection of the issue of secularism on the peace negotiation agenda. The al-Hilu faction believes that a secular state would end the marginalization of non-Muslims in Sudan.
