SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Activists criticise Sudan’s committee tasked with purging remnants of old regime
Radio Dabanga reports that activists criticised how the “dismantling” committees tasked with removing affiliates of Omar al-Bashir’s regime are formed.
In February 2020, the federal Empowerment Elimination, Anti-Corruption, and Funds Recovery Committee in Khartoum issued a decision to form subcommittees in Sudanese states. Headed by the state governor, the subcommittees comprise of representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Finance and Justice, the Central Bank of Sudan, Sudanese Armed Forces, the General Intelligence Service and the Rapid Support Forces militia.
Activist Jaafar Khidir told Radio Dabanga that many government agencies have not seen any change since al-Bashir’s fall, with “affiliates of the regime representing a majority in the Empowerment Removal Subcommittees, hindering their removal, the fight against corruption, and the recovery of stolen funds.”
Khidir called on the federal Empowerment Removal Committee to review its decision concerning the membership of the subcommittees.
