5/1/2023: Radio Dabanga - Sudan’s FFC factions divided on Egyptian dialogue offer

Radio Dabanga’s report that the Forces for Freedom and Change-Democratic Block (FFC-DB) faction announced its support for the Egyptian dialogue initiative on Sudan’s political situation following the framework agreement quotes the FFC-DB’s stated reasons for rejecting the agreement.

FFC-DB spokesperson Juma al-Wakeel said the agreement “does not include issues of identity, religion and the state, dialogue with non-signatories to the peace agreement, and wants to revise the Juba Peace Agreement”.

He accused the mainstream FFC-Central Council of “hijacking the scene”, and deplored the FFC-CC’s refusal to sit with all members of the Democratic Block. “The Framework Agreement will play a major role in deepening the wounds and exacerbating the crisis in Sudan,” al-Wakeel added.
