Sudan opposition demands ‘new constitutional arrangements’ to solve crisis
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA) – Sudan’s main opposition coalition has called for “new constitutional arrangements” to resolve the months-long political crisis in the country.
“A full democratic civilian authority must be established to run transition under new transitional arrangements,” the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) coalition said in a statement.
The FFC, a former ruling partner to the military, said the new arrangements will allow the formation of a national army “under which it carries out its constitutional and legal duties and exits from politics.”
Sudan’s number two military commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, admitted Monday that last year’s military takeover in Sudan had “failed.”
Sudan has been in turmoil since last October, when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s transitional government, a move decried by political forces as a “military coup.”
More than 100 people have been killed in protests against the military since then, according to Sudanese medics.
