Some Sudanese Dialogue Participants Unhappy over Move to Meet Opposition Abroad - Rawan For Media Artistic and Production
Al
Bashir’s directive effectively means that the 7+7 would meet with the
National Umma Party (NUP) of Al-Sadiq A-Mahdi and the rebel umbrella
known as the Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF). These same parties are
also the ones who sealed the Paris Declaration last year.
Up
until last week, officials from the Sudanese government and the ruling
National Congress Party (NCP) were emphatically asserting that the
dialogue mechanism will not sit with any party abroad as long as they
have representatives inside the country.
But
opposition forces that are part of the 7+7 mechanism held reservations
on the change of heart that was agreed upon during a meeting in
Johannesburg last week between foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour and
African Union (AU) mediator Thabo Mbeki.
A
member of the 7+7 mechanism who spoke to Sudan Tribune on Tuesday on
condition of anonymity described the move as “discriminatory” and of
“preferential” nature .
"The
government will go to Addis Ababa to meet with the rebels to agree on
procedural matters only without opening the door for a new roadmap,” the
member said.
The
member warned that distinction between political parties in favour of
Al-Mahdi without the other signatories will make the dialogue lose its
purpose. He emphasized that dialogue is based on universal participation
and equality between the parties.
He
stressed that the 7 +7 committee will not meet opposition parties
outside Sudan, saying that the reasons that prevented them from
participating in the dialogue no longer exist after allowing political
freedoms.By : Sudan Vision
