48 Parties and Movements Declare “Sudan Charter” from Cairo
Sudanese forces, representing 48 parties and movements, signed a charter on Wednesday in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to manage a transitional period in the country, which has been suffering from a fierce war for over a year.
Mubarak Ardol, the head of the Political Office of the Democratic Alliance for Social Justice in Sudan, said: “Today, I had the honor of signing on behalf of comrades in the Democratic Alliance for Social Justice, among (48) parties and movements, the Sudan Charter.”
Ardol added, in a tweet on “X”, that the charter is considered “a vision of political and civil forces to manage the transitional period.”
He continued: “This marks the beginning of a new foundation for the Sudanese state after April 15.”
For their part, the signatory forces of the charter affirmed that its goal is “to end the war and establish the foundations for a just, comprehensive, and sustainable peace, as well as to commit to a framework vision that serves as a basis for ending the war and resolving the Sudanese crisis, in addition to agreeing on an initial transitional period to govern the country.”
According to the Egyptian Middle East News Agency, the forces emphasized that the charter aims “to reform and rebuild state institutions in a manner that reflects their independence, nationality, and fairness of opportunity distribution, without compromising eligibility and competency criteria, while ensuring the achievement of the necessary security and stability for the transition to a democratic civilian government.”
The war, now entering its second year, has resulted in the death of at least 13,000 people in Sudan and the displacement of around 8 million people, divided between internal displacement and refugees in neighboring countries, in addition to creating an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the conflict-torn country.
