The Vice President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Commander Malik Agar Ayre, addressed today the session of the General Conference of the Coordination of National Forces in the presence of the Minister of Federal Governance, the Governor of the Red Sea, a representative of the General Intelligence Service, and a number of heads of parties, blocs, and civil administrations.
His Excellency discussed the Sudanese political experience since independence, indicating that wars remained the distinctive feature of political history in Sudan after independence until the secession of South Sudan, which was caused by the structural imbalance in the post-independence state, which failed to address the foundational issues, constitutional principles, and foundations for building a state of citizenship without discrimination.
His Excellency explained that the political forces and societal entities since independence have not agreed on a clear constitutional formula for governing Sudan and defining the institutions that exercise power and resources on behalf of the people. The need to clarify the form and system of government, especially the relationship between the center and the region, the division of power and resources, and the definition of authoritarian institutions such as the army and regular forces. The relationship between religion and the state, identity, and foreign relations.
The Sovereignty Council member touched on the recent experience and the success of the struggle achieved by our people on all fronts and by various means, whether through peaceful mass action, armed struggle or diplomatic pressure, which uprooted the Salvation regime and made the December revolution a success with the cohesion of all segments of the Sudanese people.
His Excellency explained that during the thirty years, the country inherited several diseases whose effects are still clear in the struggle for power that erupted between yesterday's allies, the Freedom and Change Central Committee after the revolution and the exploitation of the dreams of the noble revolution for self-service, foreign agendas, employment and competition for power during the transitional period, which should have been through a well-thought-out vision or program away from the ethnic and regional outbidding practiced by some in political organizations or by rebel militias to gain influence and political presence without ideas to serve the people. The matter did not stop at politicians only, as some civil society organizations showed quarrels and rejection of the other.
Aqar explained that the political crisis led to the change of power on October 25, 2021 AD. Indicating their serious efforts at that time to resolve the crisis and return smoothly to the path of democratic transformation and reinstate Dr. Abdullah Hamdok, who in turn was subjected to blackmail by some political parties that insulted and cursed him until he submitted his resignation and left the country to the Emirates. Noting that these political parties are the same ones trying to reinstate him today and whose conditions he has fallen prey to since that day, and opened the way for the militia for military competition, which refused to engage in military reform and formed secret alliances for a failed coup attempt on April 13, 2023 AD, explaining that coups throughout the ages were carried out by brave military men, but Hemeti and the mercenaries of the Rapid Support Forces and the agenda of treason lack any military or moral honor, which led them to spread the spirit of chaos and the cycle of comprehensive war that the country is now witnessing after the failure of their coup and their claim that they are fighting the remnants and the 56 state. His Excellency touched on the current political movement, the Sudanese vision, and the positive and negative experiences in the history of political systems, whether political parties, civil society organizations, or military systems, explaining that political parties and military systems are partners in failure, stressing the need to devise an agreed-upon scientific approach to establish the Sudanese state.
