Major alliance welcomes Sudan’s national dialogue
KHARTOUM, Sudan – The Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) has welcomed the launch of a national dialogue facilitated by the UN and the African Union.
The SRF is an alliance of political and armed groups formed in 2011 to oppose the regime of former President Omar al-Bashir.
“We welcome the planned launch of dialogue between Sudanese parties,” senior SRF official Khaled Shawish said.
He said his front has met with representatives of the UN, AU and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) regarding the planned dialogue.
Shawish said calls by the dialogue sponsors for lifting the state of emergency, release of political prisoners and scrapping the freedom-restricting laws “provide a suitable atmosphere for the dialogue.”
Sudan has been in turmoil since October 25, 2021 when the military dismissed Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok’s transitional government and declared a state of emergency, a move decried by political forces as a “military coup”.
