It was officially announced in Khartoum that the signing of the final agreement to resolve the political crisis in Sudan, which was planned yesterday and would open the way for the transfer of power in the country to the civilian population, was officially announced in Khartoum. Sudanese military leaders and civilian factions have agreed on the first component of a two-stage political process to end the political unrest that has gripped the country after Sudanese army commander Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan led a military coup in October 2021 and talks between signatories were focused mainly on the dismantling of the al-Bashir regime, including the civilian and military signatories of the framework agreement to set a new date for the signing of the final political agreement that failed to be signed.
The statement states that it was decided to postpone the signing of the final agreement due to “lack of consensus on some outstanding issues”, without specifying them.
Analysts say the integration of the Rapid Support Forces into the army is a major point of contention between Al-Burhan and his deputy, Muhammad Hamdan Daghalo, known as “Hamidti”, who leads the militias, formed in 2013 to eliminate the uprising in Darfur and last week a seminar on security and defense reform ended without reaching an agreement.
A spokesman for the political process added in a statement: “All parties will continue to have serious discussions to overcome the recent obstacles to reaching an agreement that restores the path of civil democratic transformation and establishes a civil authority that leads the transition and alleviates the suffering of our people.”
According to Sudanese media, the parties to the framework agreement have finally agreed to sign a final political agreement on 1 April.
