SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: DW – Sudan: Critics slam fresh dialogue as disingenuous
DW report on criticisms from Sudanese civil society of the tripartite UN-AU-IGAD mechanism to resolve the political stalemate.
"Most people, especially activists, are quite suspicious of these [dialogue] claims, particularly because there is a perception that the international community seems to be insisting on some kind of negotiated settlement with those who conducted the coup," Mohammed Elnaiem, a Sudanese activist based in London, told DW.
Mohamed Yousif Almustafa, a Sudanese activist in Khartoum, said he does not regard a tripartite dialogue as a realistic option.
"We cannot consider any talks with Burhan under the current circumstances because he is trying to ensure he remains in the driving seat of the government," he told DW. Almustafa believes that the "ultimate objective of any dialogue with the military is to reproduce the partnership with them, to guarantee their immunity from being accountable for the crimes they have committed."
