The head of the Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces in Sudan, Abdullah Hamdok, announced that he welcomed the Egyptian invitation to host a meeting of Sudanese political forces at the end of this month to discuss stopping the war.
Hamdok affirmed, in a statement published on the “Taqaddam” coordination page on Facebook, that the coordination welcomed all regional and international initiatives and endeavors aimed at ending the suffering of the Sudanese people, achieving peace, and achieving sustainable democratic civil rule.
Hamdok indicated that the “Taqaddam” coordination has been contacted by the Egyptian authorities regarding this invitation, and he explained that the Egyptian side will be contacted to discuss the details related to the initiative.
Last week, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced arrangements to host a conference of Sudanese civil political forces at the end of June, stressing that this comes within the framework of Egypt’s keenness to make possible efforts to help Sudan overcome its crisis and address its serious repercussions on the Sudanese people and the security and stability of the region.
Hamdok described the holding of the founding conference of the “Taqaddam” coordination as an unprecedented achievement in the history of political alliances in Sudan, noting that the coordination emerged from the conference stronger and more united, with agreed goals, and more capable and determined to express the aspirations of the Sudanese people and to ensure their interests, especially in ending the war and achieving Peace and restoration of the democratic civil transition.
The “Taqaddam” coordination held its founding conference from May 26 to 30 in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, with the participation of about 600 participants from various political organizations, professional unions, and civil society organizations.
The conference approved a political vision to stop the war, establish the state, and complete the revolution, based on the foundations of stopping the war, restoring security and stability, the return of the displaced, the unity of Sudan, and the establishment of a democratic civil state that recognizes diversity.
The conference also approved the establishment of a single professional national army that would not interfere in politics and the economy, and decided to prepare for a round table that would include all Sudanese forces that rejected the war and believed in democratic transformation, with the exception of the dissolved National Congress.
On the ground, yesterday, Sunday, violent clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in the states of Khartoum, Al-Jazira, and the White Nile, and in the city of El-Fasher in the state of North Darfur, while the International Organization for Migration announced that the clashes led to the displacement of 250 families in El-Fasher, and there were also reports of deaths and injuries.
