Sudanese State Sovereignty

A total of 24 political entities and parties signed the Foundational Charter. The new alliance includes political parties, armed movements opposed to Al-Burhan‘s repressive policies, traditional leadership structures, and community organizations supporting the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.

The charter emphasizes a “Sudanese identity” grounded in historical and contemporary diversity, establishing a state based on freedom, justice, and equality.

Charter Provisions

The charter is built on two main pillars:

1. General Principles – consisting of 32 articles.
2. Necessities for Forming a “Transitional Peace Government” – divided into two sections:
   • National Necessities
   • Achieving International Security and Peace

One of the key provisions states that the Sudanese state should be founded on the principle of “voluntary unity of its peoples and regions.” Additionally, the state should “exercise its sovereignty on behalf of the Sudanese people, ensuring the preservation of its political and economic independence while protecting the interests of its citizens without discrimination,” according to the document reviewed by Asharq.

Prohibitions in the Charter

The charter explicitly prohibits the establishment of any political party or organization based on religious foundations or the use of religious or racial propaganda for political purposes.

It also mandates that the newly established army must be subject to civilian oversight and control while reflecting the diversity of Sudan’s regions. Additionally, it calls for the establishment of a professional, independent intelligence and security agency that is not aligned with any ideological, political, or partisan affiliations.

It further outlines the rationale for forming a “Transitional Peace Government,” emphasizing the need to end the war, “achieve comprehensive and lasting peace, protect civilians, provide humanitarian aid, and restore the democratic process.”

He added, “The new state is now in its foundational stage, built on justice and equality, respecting diversity and inclusivity, ensuring fairness for all marginalized regions of Sudan, and restoring the country to its rightful path in the international community as a sovereign and respected state.”

Key Principles

The 32 main articles of the charter emphasize:

• The rule of law and strong institutions
• The prohibition of discrimination
• The promotion of national education

The charter also serves as a future reference for all sovereign institutions in Sudan, placing citizens at the core of the political process while outlining mechanisms for democratic and decentralized governance.

Through this charter, Sudan seeks to reaffirm its national identity and ensure fair distribution of power and wealth, contributing to the development of a cohesive and progressive society. Additionally, it aims to end wars and divisions, offering solutions to Sudan’s historical governance crises—issues that previous documents failed to address due to military control over power.

Fundamental Principles

The general principles of the Foundational Sudan Charter are based on the concept of voluntary unity, where sovereignty belongs to the people, who are the ultimate source of authority.

The charter calls for the establishment of a secular, democratic, and decentralized state that acknowledges diversity. It prohibits the formation of any political party or organization based on religious or racial foundations. Furthermore, it recognizes the right to self-determination in cases where secularism is not upheld or if any constitutional principle is violated.

The political principles also emphasize:

• Equal citizenship rights
• A Sudanese identity rooted in diversity
• The governance of the national capital as a reflection of the country’s diversity

This charter serves as a cornerstone for Sudan’s future, providing a clear roadmap for a just, inclusive, and democratic state.

The Government System

The charter recognizes the necessity of establishing a decentralized government based on the acknowledgment of the fundamental right of all regions to manage their political, economic, and social affairs, with fair representation at the national level.

This includes the creation of an army with a new professional and national military doctrine, subject to civilian oversight and control, as well as a professional police force ensuring Sudan’s internal and external security.

The charter also emphasizes the establishment of a new civil service managed according to standards of competence, professionalism, and nationalism, with guarantees of justice and historical accountability.

Social Policies

The charter stresses the importance of safeguarding freedoms and adhering to international human rights conventions, while protecting principles that support trade union freedoms, voluntary association, peaceful assembly, and expression. It also guarantees the rights of armed movements signatories to the charter to use armed struggle as a legitimate means of resistance and the fight for change.

The goal of the charter is to enhance the participation of all citizens in the political process, ensure the independence of judicial institutions and national commissions, and empower women to ensure their active participation in all state institutions.

The charter commits to a policy of peaceful political action and criminalizing all forms of extremism, military coups, and the use of religion for political purposes.

Economic Policies

It also aims to achieve fair distribution of resources and production opportunities, ensuring revenue distribution between regions that facilitates balanced development and economic and social justice.

The charter commits to eliminating the tribal rent economy, organizing and regulating banking activities according to traditional systems, and recognizes the need to regulate relations between individuals and groups through fair laws that guarantee their economic rights.

Fighting Corruption and Enhancing Transparency

The charter includes fighting corruption and recovering public funds and properties obtained illegally both domestically and abroad, establishing principles of transparency and accountability.

It calls for the dissolution and dismantling of the National Congress Party and the Islamic movement, along with the confiscation of their assets in favor of the Ministry of Finance and National Economy.

It is important to note that the Sudanese Constitutional Charter serves as a future reference for all subsequent governments and sovereign institutions in Sudan, placing the citizen at the heart of the political process, defining mechanisms for democratic and decentralized governance, and aiming for fair distribution of power and wealth, which contributes to building a cohesive and developed society and promotes the transition to democracy and peace in Sudan.

This declaration aims to realize the peace project and to end the legitimacy of the Port-Sudan authority, which continues the war and blocks peace.

Additionally, the charter seeks to provide assistance to citizens across all Sudanese territories, whether under the direct control of the Rapid Support Forces or indirectly under army control, by cooperating with international non-governmental organizations working in the field of humanitarian aid.

The fundamentals of the declaration are based on building Sudan as a unified democratic state, primarily aimed at ending the war and halting the division carried out by the army. While the war is a temporary situation, the charter offers a solution to the deep-rooted issues of Sudan’s governance crisis.

There is no question or reason for which any armed liberation movement in Sudan has fought without this charter addressing it, even though these issues were not included in any previous political documents for specific reasons, most notably the military’s takeover of power in Sudan at various times.
