22/9/2021: Al-Taghyeer - Freedom and Change: Coup would have been catastrophic for Sudan

Al-Taghyeer report that Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition spokesman Jaafar Hassan warned that, had the Islamist coup been successful, “the military half of the government would have ended up before a firing squad, the civilian half’s fate would be unknown, and the Sudanese people would have to bear the brunt of it all.”

Hassan said the Sudanese transition underwent “more than 3 coups during three years” and affirmed that the conspiracies against the transitional period will not stop. 

Hassan emphasised that the democratic transition carries great benefits for the military institution, and that unity is needed in “purging evil from both civilian and military institutions.”

 Regarding the yet-to-be formed Legislative Council, Hassan said that the 60 seat Legislative Council is not the sole proprietorship of political parties and civilians, but rather a partnership between both civilian and military sides of the transitional council.
