The joint regional and international tripartite mechanism to resolve the political crisis in Sudan identified 4 basic issues for dialogue between the various components, hinting at the possibility of reaching an agreement in a short time.
Ambassador Mohamed Baayesh, the official spokesman for the mechanism that includes the United Nations, the African Union and the IGAD group, promised the Sudanese to hear good news in the near future, according to a statement issued by the mechanism following a meeting of its representatives with the head of the Sudanese Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan.
Ba’ish said: The main issues on which the ongoing endeavors focus, include constitutional arrangements and agreement on specific criteria for selecting the prime minister, in addition to developing a program to address urgent needs, and a precise timetable for holding elections.
The mechanism stressed the necessity of providing the appropriate atmosphere for the success of dialogue efforts, foremost of which is lifting the state of emergency, releasing all political detainees, canceling all laws restricting freedoms and ensuring that human rights violations do not occur.
