CAIRO: Sudan’s political parties have agreed to constitute a new transitional government on April 11, Khalid Omar Yousif, the spokesman for the signatories to the political settlement, said on Sunday. Sudan’s military leaders who took power in 2021 have been discussing a deal with the political parties previously in power to restore a civilian government in the country.
Officials say political parties have made consensus to form transitional government
Yousif said that the parties have made a consensus on a committee for drafting a new constitution that will include 9 members of the civilian parties, one from the military and another from the influential paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
Reports said that the parties will ink the transitional framework for the deal early next month and a constitutional declaration on April 6, 2023.
The constitution of a new government after the October 2021 military coup is a result of Gulf, Western, and UN-sponsored dialogue, and it could revive flows of badly needed economic help to Sudan.
