SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Egyptian initiative to break Sudan political impasse

4/1/2023: Radio Dabanga - Egyptian initiative to break Sudan political impasse

Radio Dabanga report on the reactions of political analyst Bakri al-Jak to the “five important but thorny issues” that must be discussed before phase two of the framework agreement: justice, security sector reform, dismantling the former regime, the Juba Peace Agreement and eastern Sudan.

Al-Jak warned that the agreement may bring about “a lame government” instead of political stability.

On security sector reform, al-Jak said that the nature of the state has to be defined first, after which the role of the military and security institutions can be discussed, followed by a social contract and a joint vision for the future of Sudan.

Al-Jak also ruled out he implementation of the security arrangements stipulated in the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement. “This agreement is not enforceable for reasons related to financial capabilities for demobilisation and the lack of an integrated political vision of the security arrangements,” he said.
