Al-Burhan exempts civilian members of ‘Sudanese sovereignty’
The head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Abdul Fattah Al-Burhan, issued a decree on Wednesday to exempt members of the council from civilians.
The decision included Raja Nicola Eissa Abdel-Masih, Youssef Gad Karim Mohammed Ali, Salma Abdul Jabbar Al-Mubarak, Abdul Baqi Abdul Qader Al-Zubair, and Abu Al-Qasim Mohammed Mohammed Ahmed Bartam.
The Chairman of the Council of Sovereignty held a meeting with the five members and thanked them for responding to the call of the nation and working diligently and diligently to serve the citizens.
He expressed the hope that their contribution would continue in various fields of public action, commending the great efforts they had made to achieve the aspirations of the Sudanese people for freedom, peace and justice.
Members of the Council of Sovereignty who are members of armed movements – Malik Agar, Al-Tahir Hajar and Al-Hadi Idriss – were not included in the decision to dismiss; because they took office under the Juba peace agreement in Sudan.
This comes after the Sudanese military decided not to participate in negotiations led by a tripartite mechanism comprising the African Union, the United Nations Integrated Mission in Sudan, and the Intergovernmental Authority on the Development of East African States, in order to provide an opportunity for national political forces.
Al-Burhan said that after the formation of a civilian government by consensus of the political forces, the Council of Sovereignty itself will be dissolved and a Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will be formed, which will be responsible for the security and defense mission in the country.
