5/12/2022: Sudan Tribune - Sudanese stakeholders sign Political Framework Agreement

Sudan Tribune outlined the Framework Agreement signed by the military and the Forces of Freedom and Change, with a two-year transition starting following the appointment of a prime minister chosen by revolutionary forces.

The agreement affirms the establishment of a single professional army, with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia integrated into it, with an Interior Minister controlling all security forces.  The agreement provides that the military would only be allowed to conduct commercial business in its industry, and that the commander-in-chief of the army would be the civilian head of state, who also picks the head of the General Intelligence Service.

The Justice and Equality Movement (SLM) and Sudan Liberation Movement- Minnawi (SLM-MM) rejected to sign the agreement.
