7/12/2020: Radio Dabanga - Broad opposition against Sudan’s Transitional Partners Council

Radio Dabanga report on broad opposition against the formation of a Transitional Partners Council announced by the head of Abdelfattah al-Burhan.

 The Sudanese Congress Party said the TPC is “unacceptable and does not comply with what has been agreed upon before”. The National Umma Party accused “some parties to have a hidden agenda to try to disrupt the march towards democracy, and try to deviate from the original idea of ​​a Transitional Partners Council in terms of form, competences, and composition”.

 The Sudanese National Alliance called for “freezing the work of the TPC until further consultations have been made”. It seeks “a reasonable representation of women and youth, and all parties to the peace agreement”. Civil society organisations, including the No to Women’s Oppression Initiative in Khartoum, as well as a large number of Resistance Committees also reject the new Partners Council.
