The leadership of Sudan’s uprising offers a response to today’s statement by the Military Council (that statement at https://wp.me/p45rOG-2po/ )

“Summary of the Statement of the Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change” | April 21, 2019

The Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change have decided to continue their sit-in, and to suspend their negotiations with the Transitional Military Council (TMC) until the enforcement of all of their demands.

They will initiate the formation of the entire structure of the new civilian government; which will last for a period of 4 years, ending with democratic elections. The new civilian government will be composed of:

[1] A National Supreme Council of State (a three-person, rotating Presidency), with the names of the three people to be announced today. This will be presented to the TMC for their approval.

[2] A National Council of Ministers (at least 16 members), all of whom will be technocrats and nominated by the Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change, for the TMC to approve.

[3] An Interim National Parliament representing the current constituencies of Sudan. They will be nominated by their regions, and this list will be given to the Supreme Council of States for their review and approval. The Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change will postpone their announcement for a few more days for further consultations on the names for the National Council of Ministers, and the names for the Interim National Parliament.
