The Sudanese Congress Party (SCoP) has slammed institutions of the transitional authority, the cabinet, and the sovereign council. As a faction in the Declaration of Freedom and Change Forces (DFCF), the political incubator of the country’s transitional government, the SCoP said their performance is inadequate and slow over many major issues.
It called for holding a deliberative conference to address the problems within the Alliance of the Sudanese Revolution Forces (ASRF).
SCoP’s Head Omer al-Digair said in a press conference on Tuesday that achievements of the transitional authority over the past period have been “modest, unambitious and somehow disappointing.”
He stressed the need to expedite “its assessment to overcome mistakes and weaknesses in policies and figures.”
“The civil component in the cabinet and the sovereign council shall be enhanced, even if this requires changing members of both chambers,” Digair noted.
He highlighted the importance of the ASRF unity and the formation of a broad popular front that is based on a clear national vision to accomplish the tasks of the transitional period.
Meanwhile, there are differences over several issues between the leaderships of the FCF, which led the popular movement until the overthrowing of former President Omar al-Bashir.
This has pushed Sadiq al-Mahdi’s National Umma Party to freeze its activity in the Alliance's structures.
Problems within the institutions of the transitional authority “have led to a failure and a slow performance that must be overcome,” Digair stressed.
He pointed to a real crisis within the DFCF that has led to their division, stressing that his party is adhered to the alliance, as an incubator for the change the country had seen.
Dugair said the army dispersal of the protest camp near army headquarters in Khartoum on June 3, in which dozens were killed, injured, or went missing, is “an ethical issue that cannot be bargained out or forgotten with time.
He urged the board of inquiry to speed up the announcement of the probe results to bring the perpetrators to justice, “especially that there is a lot of evidence that point to perpetrators of the massacre”.
