Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change Alliance Warns of 'Creeping Coup'
Sudan has been experiencing a transition since the April 2019 ouster of President Omar al-Bashir.
The Forces of Freedom and Change alliance or FFC warned Saturday of a "creeping coup", during a press conference that pro-army protesters’ attack sought to prevent.
FFC leader Yasser Arman said, “the crisis at hand is engineered -- and is in the shape of a creeping coup".
"We renew our confidence in the government, Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, and reforming transitional institutions -- but without dictations or imposition," he stressed.
Earlier, the transitional government in Sudan denied that an agreement had been reached to dissolve the civilian and military councils, in light of the security tensions that the country witnessed.
In a related context, the coordinator of the National Initiative for Change in Sudan, Mohamed Hassab al-Rasoul, confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the decision to dissolve the Sovereignty Council and the Council of Ministers had not yet been confirmed.
He considered that "the dissolution of the two councils will restore things to normal and will give the opportunity to complete the transitional period."
Al-Rasoul added that political interference disrupted institutions and the current authority was unable to manage the transitional period, noting that "the sit-in in front of the presidential palace represents the Sudanese people with all their political forces."
A number of demonstrations took place in Sudanese cities calling for the reform of the military institution, stressing that it did not represent the "revolution".
