Sudan's Unionist Alliance: Authority Figures Are Obstructing Dismantlement of Former Regime

Sudan’s Unionist Alliance accused members of the military component of the Transitional Sovereign Council, and other influential figures, of trying to terminate the goals of the revolution, establishing settlements with Islamists, and providing protection to figures of the former regime.

The Alliance, which is one of the factions of the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change (FFC), issued a statement saying it is monitoring some forces in the country that are trying to obstruct the ongoing steps to dismantle the former regime.

The statement noted that these parties took very dangerous decisions without consulting the FFC, the political reference for the transitional government in Sudan.

They also aim to gain the support of some of the revolution’s components which will lead to a new coalition that includes loyalists of the former regime and the forces against the revolution, warned the Alliance.

The statement noted that the deliberate inaction towards fighting corruption enabled remnants of the former regime to regroup and organize themselves, which obstructs the transition process.

They also mobilized the public against the revolutionary government, through the ‘Green March’ adopted by the former regime.

The statement pointed out that the ousted regime is calling for a protest on Sunday, noting that it will stand against any rapprochement with the former regime.

Also, well-informed sources, who requested to remain anonymous, told Asharq Al-Awsat that there are influential figures trying to reach a political settlement between the government and Islamist currents of the former regime.
