3/11/2022: Sudan Tribune - New coalition calls to review Sudan’s 2019 constitutional declaration, rejects lawyers proposals

Sudan Tribune report that pro-coup armed groups and some political parties launched a new alliance dubbed Forces for Freedom and Change – the Democratic Bloc (FFC-DB).

The alliance features the leaders of armed movements in the National Consensus Forces (NCF): the Sudan Liberation Movement faction of governor of Darfur Minni Minnawi, the Justice and Equality Movement led by finance minister Jibril Ibrahim, and Mubrak Ardol, the head of Sudan’s Mineral Resources Company and a former Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North official.

They are joined by Ja’afar Mirghani, who leads a faction of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). His support for the pro-coup NCF has created a rift within the DUP, as the sons of party leader Mohamed Osman al-Mirghani seem divided in their positions over the way out of the political crisis.
