SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Resistance Committees walk out of talks on Sudan parliament

5/11/2020: Radio Dabanga - Resistance Committees walk out of talks on Sudan parliament

 Radio Dabanga report that Resistance Committees representatives withdrew from a Khartoum meeting with the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) regarding the formation of parliament, citing disagreements with the agenda.

 Before they left, the members of the Resistance Committees chanted slogans: “You parties, the suffering is enough” [ya ahzab, kifaya ‘azab] and “Legislative Council, Revolutionaries Council”.

 The Khartoum Resistance Committees accuse the FFC of “seeking to abort what is left of the revolution by deliberately excluding the Resistance Committees from meetings on the parliament,” further describing the government's handling of “important issues” such as the economic conference and the peace issue as “superficial and condescending to listen to the voice of the street”.

 The Resistance Committees declared its full readiness to defend the revolution and provide corrections, stressing that the Legislative Council is the safety valve of the revolution.
