SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Africa Report – Sudan’s transition to free elections undermined by Hemeti
Sudan political analyst Jihad Mashamoun proposes solutions to salvage Sudan’s democratic transition and economy.
Mashamoun calls for the government to accelerate the transfer of businesses run by the security apparatus to the Ministry of Finance.
Mashamoun also calls for the government and the Forces of Freedom and Change coalition “to work together in public forums to communicate more clearly” amid the deep state’s disinformation campaign. Finally, Mashamoun calls for the EU and the US to pressure Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to support the government by warning them that its fall could trigger regional conflict.
Mashamoun suggests that Himedti’s “intervention” in Sudan’s peace talks “as a means of forming alliances with groups across [Sudan] and controlling the transition to free elections.” Mashmoun also accuses Himedti of worsening Sudan’s economic crisis through his links with al-Fakher company, “which has been buying gold at uneconomic prices thereby pushing down the value of the Sudanese pound.”
