Hamdouk: ten points results of meetings with political forces

Khartoum,   (SUNA) – Prime Minister Dr. Abdullah Hamdouk has called for the need to look to the future instead of drowning in the details of the past, pointing to the only two years remained for holding the elections, stressing on the need for the immediate start of preparations for the elections. In his address this evening on the current crisis, he pointed to ten points summarizing his discussions with the parties of the crisis,  describing it as a road map for getting out of the crisis .  Hamdouk has underlined the ten points as: 1- The necessity of an immediate halt to all forms of escalation between all parties and ensuring that the only way out is a serious and responsible dialogue on the issues that divide the forces of transition. 2- Returning to work in all transition institutions, provided that the differences are put in their correct places and that they are managed from other locations and in more mature methods and commitment to responsibility and with a single compass that is in the interest of this people, its stability and development. 3- Agreeing that issues such as terrorism, internal national threats, and on borders or from outside the borders should not be subject to any kind of speculation, bidding, or doubts about intentions. What harms other countries is the presentation of national security issues in an open market for interactions and transitory purposes. 4- Staying away from taking unilateral decisions and steps, and not exploiting state institutions and agencies, which belong to all Sudanese, in the political conflict. 5- The reference for compatibility between the components of the transitional authority is the constitutional document, which is a reference that must be respected and implemented in letter and spirit, and all positions and issues can be discussed based on this reference. 6- In compliance with the constitutional document, the dismantling of the party state in favor of the nation-state is a constitutional obligation, necessary to dismantle the grip of the old regime on the state apparatus and its wealth, and therefore it is a goal that must not be undone, but there is nothing to prevent a review of the ways and means of work, guaranteeing the right to appeal and achieving Justice. 7- We must end all kinds of discord between all components of freedom and change, in order to broaden the base of transition, and to be able to absorb all the forces of revolution and change. 8- Transitional justice remains the best means by which the wishes of the victims and their families are fulfilled, without neglecting the political, material and legal costs that must be paid for this. 9- The Prime Minister’s initiative (National Crisis and Transition Issues – The Way Forward) is the agreed platform for immunizing the transition. The mechanism is working hard to provide specific insights into the nine transition issues identified by the initiative. 10- The outcome of these discussions will be translated and implemented through a broad consensus on a broadly representative Legislative Council that expresses the plurality and diversity of the country and the forces of revolution and change, and represents the fortress of the revolution and its reference, its supervisory body and the source of its laws and legislation. Prime Minister, Dr. Hamdouk has emphasized his personal supervision to the implementation of these steps with all parties and to work to finish them in a short time, indicating that the country cannot tolerate more disputes, stressing the duty of all is to work for achieving the goals of the glorious December revolution without delay. ta
