compromise
The head of the Sovereignty Council, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, announced on April 15, that the country is entering a difficult stage, which requires concessions by everyone.
In his statements, he said: “We are entering a difficult stage in which everyone must make concessions for the sake of the country,” pointing to the deteriorating economic and security situation in the country, adding: “We are ready to offer what we can to prepare the atmosphere for dialogue.”
study agreement
It is noteworthy that since the beginning of this April, it has been reported that a number of political parties in the country, especially allied with the military component, have sought to study an agreement in order to form a new government.
The country had entered a state of tension after the armed forces imposed exceptional measures on October 25 last year, announcing the dissolution of the government and the Sovereignty Council.
Since that time, the political parties that shared power with the military component, after the removal of Omar al-Bashir, have not been able to form a government to manage the transitional phase in the country, leading to general elections.
