SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Burhan reverses his decision on mandate of Sudan’s transition partners body
Sudan Tribune report that Abdelfattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan’s ruling Sovreign Council, has reversed his position to form a Transitional Partnership Council (TPC) with large powers, putting an end to the disagreement with Prime Minister Hamdok and the pro-democracy coalition of political forces.
The TPC’s formation raised suspicions about attempts by al-Burhan and his military faction to circumvent the civilian government and its divided coalition with the support of some former rebels.
The TPC was divisive among Sudan’s Revolutionary Front (SRF) factions, with SRF leader Hadi idris in favour of a review of the TPC, while Sudan Liberation Movement factional leader Minni Minnawi and his ally Eltom Hajo defending the decree and calling for its implementation.
