28/3/2023: Sudan Tribune - Non-signatories warn against instability in Sudan if new government formed without them

Sudan Tribune report that Jibril Ibrahim, the deputy head of the Forces of Freedom and Change Democratic Bloc faction (FFC-DB) announced that they had warned the commander-in-chief of the Sudanese army Abdulfattah al-Burhan that failure to form a government without them “will not stabilise the country and their consequences are unknown”, calling on al-Burhan to “correct the course in order to avoid a disaster”.

After Al-Burhan met with FFC-DB leaders to convince them to join the final political agreement, Jibril contested the legitimacy of the FFC Central Council (FFC-CC) to lead the formation of a civilian government.

While the FFC-CC, under pressure from the military, accepted including armed and civilian parts of the FFC-DB, the latter “have now made it clear that their goal is to prevent the pro-democracy coalition from leading the transition alone”.

FFC-DB official Mubarak Ardol also called on al-Burhan to “not ally with specific political forces”.
