Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change – Central Leadership Council – Press Statement (23.11.2021)

Many news sites, social media, and the office of Dr. Hamdok and Suna News. News that there was a meeting between the Central Leadership Council for Freedom and Change and Dr. Abdullah Hamdok during today, Tuesday, November 23, 2021 AD.

We in the Central Leadership Council of the Forces of Freedom and Change deny this news, as we did not name any representative on our behalf for any meeting with Dr. Hamdok. Previously during the period of his house arrest or even today, and that whoever met him does not have a mandate to represent the Central Leadership Council during their discussions and negotiations with the putschists and Dr. Hamdok. We also point out that Freedom and Change has specialized structures, including the Political Liaison Committee, which works according to the position and vision of the Council. Central in the political process, a media committee expresses its positions, and the Central Council renews its position of refusing to negotiate and partnership with the putschists, and it will not grant them legitimacy.

With this, we call upon all the masses of our victorious people to escalate the means of peaceful struggle against the coup authority and to restore the path of transition. And for the success of the democratic transition, we invite them to actively participate in the processions of the twenty-fifth of November and the activities that follow until the overthrow of the coup authority.

Sudan: The Forces of Freedom and Change – Press Release (22.11.2021)

The Central Council of the Forces of Freedom and Change held a meeting this afternoon, Monday, November 22, 2021 AD, in which the meeting discussed in detail the developments of the political situation in the country, which included the following themes:

The meeting discussed the political agreement between Dr. Hamdok and the coup leader, General Burhan, and considered it an extension of the coup measures announced by Al-Burhan on October 25, 2021.

The Central Council of the Forces of Freedom and Change affirmed its previously announced position rejecting this agreement as a rejection of the goals and pacts of the glorious December revolution, as it ignored the real issues of civil democratic transformation stipulated in the Declaration of the Forces of Freedom and Change in January 2019

And the constitutional document in August 2019 which is:

1- Transitional justice issues and the accountability of all those who have committed crimes against the Sudanese people since June 30, 1989 until today.

2- The necessity of structuring and reforming the doctrine of the military and police institutions and the security apparatus, structuring them, and defining their tasks in a professional manner, while ensuring that those among their affiliates who committed crimes against our people are held accountable, with their liquidation from the elements of the former regime and their transformation into national institutions subject to civil authority.

3- Accounting for all those who planned, executed, participated and supported the October 25, 2021 coup.

4- Ensuring that the military institution does not interfere in the political process and reject any partnership of this institution in the process of democratic transformation towards the establishment of a civilian constitutional authority.

Considering any framework or political agreement between Hamdok and the leader of the coup, General Al-Burhan, as an agreement that does not meet the aspirations of our people and stands against the movement of our people in resisting the coup of October 25, 2021 AD.

Sudan: Hemeti celebrates the “dead” agreement of yesterday

I would like to congratulate the people of Sudan on today’s historic event. An agreement has been signed ensuring that Sudan continues on the path of democracy and the people’s will. We are ready to work together hand-in-hand with Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and his team to realize the people’s aspirations for freedom, peace, justice and a life of prosperity. I would like to reaffirm to our partners around the world that we remain committed to the principles of the December revolution. The corrective action taken in October was absolutely necessary to ensure that we remain on this path. We call upon our partners in the international community to continue supporting Sudan in our democratic transformation, as we prepare to hold elections at the end of the transitional period” (General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo aka Hemeti, 22.11.2021).

General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo aka Hemeti is jubilant for the re-instating Prime Minister Hamdok. When the first Transitional Military Council was made in the past. It initially gave legitimacy towards the likes of Hemeti. Who has been a warlord and a despicable tyrant in Darfur with the reigns of his militia the Janjaweed or the Rapid Support Force (RSF). Because of this… the man got a high office and became a high ranking official in government. The same happened in the Sovereign Council as well.

Now, there is a new Transitional Sovereignty Council, which is filled with army commanders and hand-picked “civilian” leaders or former warlords, which was signatories in the Juba Declaration. They are there and is legitimizing council as a functional government. That is now added with the Political Declaration signed off yesterday. This is why Hemeti wants to celebrate it.

Hemeti wants the junta government another try. He wants to keep all the power and not be challenged. The general knows perfectly well that if he looses power and office. He might have to answer for his past and the current transgressions against protesters. There is people dying, because the military will not give way.

The general can play around and be like a fool. This trick shouldn’t work and the ones eating the ideals of the political declaration haven’t figured things out. Hemeti and Al-Burhan wouldn’t have ordered and configured a second coup d’etat, if they weren’t interested in keeping the power for themselves. This is not to make the transition better or soften the blow. No, it is all about keeping control and having it without accountability.

Hemeti is happy for this, because Hamdok is pragmatically signing off to the army. Hamdok is a plot-devise to sell the new council. He becomes the man they can show-off and make it legit. While the army can do whatever it wants. The PM might look supreme and have a mandate. However, everyone with a marble working will know that Hemeti and Al-Burhan will handle the things that matters. They bought peace for nothing and hope it could trick the masses too. Nevertheless, the general public doesn’t seem to eat it.

Hemeti hopes the international community is believing this and that the Transitional Sovereignty Council gets legitimacy. The General hopes everyone eats his words and supports this new transitional government, which it shouldn’t, but they hope the “stability” is more important, than an actual civilian government.

Hemeti and Al-Burhan wants all power and that’s why they did the second coup on the 25th October 2021. Now they want Hamdok as the Prime Minister to officiate it all, but he will just give way to them. Hemeti is a conniving man and hopes to get away from everything. He hopes this transitional government can absolve him of his past. Clearly the power and office is ravaging his mind.

Hemeti must take people for fools, because the deal was dead on arrival. It is just like the new council doesn’t get it. They don’t have the support of the civilians and this is why the revolution continues. While Hemeti … wants it to look like they are part of it, which they are not. Peace.

Sudan: The Unified Office of Sudanese Doctors – Report on the Human rights violations to health facilities, medical personnel, and health care delivery made by the Sudanese Security Forces since October 25th. and (the day of the Military Coup) – (21.11.2021)

1. The National Blood Bank employees have been forcefully stopped from performing their duties on the 25th October.

2. On 26th. October, the Coup forces deprived five civilian detainees from receiving medical care at Eldaeen Hospital. They had pre-existing chronic illnesses and were unwell with COVID 19.

3. On 30th. October, wounded civilians were denied access to Omdurman Military Hospital.

4. On 30th. October, ambulances carrying wounded protesters, were violently stopped. This has also resulted in significant damages to the vehicles.

5. On 13th.November, military troops were put on roads leading to hospitals with the intention of stopping patients, who are victims of live ammunition and tear gas, from gaining access to medical care.

6.The Coup forces invaded and disturbed the delivery of medical services. Here we highlight, some examples of such malpractices that took place at the following hospitals:

– Elarbaeen Hospital in Omdurman city:

Accident & Emergency Department was invaded, and wounded civilians were arrested from inside the hospital, with the use of excessive physical and verbal abuse.

– Sharq Elneel Hospital in Khartoum City:

The Trauma and Emergency Department was invaded, doctors were body searched, and one doctor was arrested from inside the hospital with the use of excessive physical and verbal intimidation. The doctor was subsequently released later in the day.

Kassala Hospital was also violently invaded by the military coup forces, denying doctors access to the hospital in an attempt to abort a peaceful protest organized by Kassala Hospital Doctors on 15th November 2021.

On November 17th, Police forces fired tear gas inside Ahmed Qasim Hospital in Khartoum North.

On November the 21, Police forces fired tear gas inside Khartoum Teaching Hospital, right next to the intensive care unit and the neonatal department.

In the name of the Unified Office of Sudanese Doctors, we strongly condemn the massive violations of human rights that have occurred since the coup, especially those that have claimed the lives of dozens of civilians as they exercise their legitimate right to peaceful demonstration. In terms of our professional and moral duty, we also condemn depriving the injured and sick of access to health care and preventing the medical staff from performing their duties.

We appeal to the human rights organizations and the international community at large to show support and solidarity with the Sudanese people and take the appropriate actions.

Sudan: Political (Declaration) Agreement (21.11.2021)

Opinion: Hamdok will now be a useless fool for the TMC

Today, Abdalla Hamdok signed an agreement with Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. This agreement is only buying the new Sovereign Council time, which is a rejuvenated Transitional Military Council (TMC). Al-Burhan and Hemeti has gotten it all for very little. Just keeping him detained for a month and reinstating him with lofty promises.

Hamdok is now a pawn. His a tool of the machinery. There is now no difference between him and the warlords of Darfur, which also joined the council. They are all just a broad amount of leaders, which all will follow the program. It is not like they can or have the ability to challenge Al-Burhan or Hemeti. They are the ones leading it anyway. Whatever promises made, rest assured, they will not be kept.

Hamdok can act like this a victory since his salvaging something. He is regaining some sort of role and position. However, that is meaningless and pointless when his just there to a make belief. His the civilian excuse of a technocrat to this here enterprise now. Hamdok is distancing himself from the FFC and SPA. Who are both saying this agreement isn’t it and this negotiation wasn’t their. Meaning Hamdok did it all by himself and not in connection with the other civilian stakeholders.

The possible reinstated Prime Minister will be a nice slay-queen and maybe trick a few donors. Heck, he might save the reputation and give the government legitimacy towards the African Union and other bodies, of which the Sudanese government got suspended from post 25th October 2021 coup d’etat.

If Hamdok believes he stopped the bloodshed and the killings of the state. Well, people are dying and the numbers of dead since the coup is rising. He has traded himself and is now a stooge for the keizan. That is who he is and he betrayed the revolution. That is the mere reality of this.

Hamdok can claim he did this to secure “stability” but at what cost and price? Does he believe the men who made a second coup will not betray him again? Is he really that stupid and trusts these army commanders? If he does… he is a fool and he will loose everything for doing it.

At this very moment… Hamdok has lost allies and people who was beside him in the battle for a civilian government. Now, Hamdok have traded that away for a temporary solution. The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) is getting the benefits and perks. While Hamdok has to eat all the vomit, which is served him from the army commanders. That is what Hamdok will do on a daily basis and call it a Michelin meal.

Hamdok has betrayed the revolution and the cause of which got him the office in the first place. He now is a renegade on his own. This is a choice he made and he now has to carry the consequences. His not a trustworthy fella, but yet another lackey of the army. Peace.

Sudan: Sudanese Congress Party – A statement on the party’s position on the political agreement signed between General Al-Burhan and Dr. Abdullah Hamdok (21.11.2021)

While today, peaceful protesters in the processions of the twenty-first of November are subjected to severe repression in the streets, a political agreement was signed between General Al-Burhan and Dr. Abdullah Hamdok.

In the presence of the military and civilian forces of the coup leaders, in a sudden political development that calls for clarification of the position of the Sudanese Congress Party in a clear manner that leaves no room for doubt or ambiguity:

First: We see that the political agreement did not address the roots of the crisis and was made hastily in closed rooms away from the live forces of the December Revolution and without the trouble of its advice, while a large number of its leaders from the political and civil forces are under the arbitrary arbitrary political detention.

Second: Based on that, and since Dr. Abdullah Hamdouk was previously appointed to his position by the Forces of Declaration of Freedom and Change, his unilateral decision to sign such an agreement without authorization is considered an act that lacks legitimacy and is outside the ruling constitutional framework The recognized document represented in the Constitutional Document of 2019 and its amendments in 2020 based on the Sudan Peace Agreement in Juba.

Third: The justifications on which the agreement was based strayed from objectivity and truth, because it renamed the military coup a correction, the political parties are responsible for the causes of the political crisis, while all the facts indicate that it is an artificial crisis that was prepared by the putschists by suffocating the country security and economically and creating a civil and political front parallel to the forces of declaring freedom and change to become a pliable tool in the hands of the putschists. it provides them with a political cover for the overthrow of the constitution and the subsequent grave violations of the rights of Sudanese women and men to life, freedom and a decent life.

Fourth: We consider that the current political agreement is an explicit legalization of the continuation of the coup regime in power. And it is considered a serious threat to the stability of the country and the security of its citizens because of the powers it grants to multiple forces that do not believe in civil democratic transformation or the right of peoples to determine their fate and future. Which threatens to explode this system internally and turn the country into an arena of intense regional conflict.

Fifth: Absent from the agreement are the most important points of contention that prompted the putschists to implement their uncalculated step of transferring the presidency of the Sovereign Council to civilians. The civil political authority’s management of the process of reforming the security and military systems, and the state’s jurisdiction over public money, including the companies affiliated with those systems.

Sixth: The agreement also missed the most important key conditions that would guarantee the success of the civil democratic transformation and the stability of the country in the future and represented in the exit of the military institution from the political process, and the unification of the mechanism for determining the foreign policies of Sudan and taking its own decisions within the civilian political authority.

Seventh: Any agreement that does not include the accountability of the military and civilian revolutionaries, means paving the way for the recurrence of the coup again in the future, and contributing to accepting and consolidating the pattern of impunity and accepting the behavior of seizing power by force.

The refusal of the free and rebellious masses in the processions of the twenty-first of November and in the various cities, villages and villages of Sudan to this flawed agreement came automatically and clearly and unambiguously, and we, as we renew our initial rejection of this agreement, affirm that we are proceeding with all determination in the path of resisting the coup regime and opposing it by peaceful means until its overthrow, and that we will always remain wherever the masses and the forces of the living revolution are ahead in their constant quest for liberation from tyranny and their aspiration for freedom, peace, justice and a decent life.

Long live our people free and victorious

Sudan: The Agreement between Al-Burhan and Hamdok is dead on arrival

Today wasn’t a day of fanfare or of rejoicing in a new agreement between old parties. As the putchists wants people to forget what has been done and created by the army commanders who took total control. The Transitional Military Council and the Generals who swiftly overthrow the civilians in the Sovereign Council on the 25th October 2021.

Now, the same gentlemen and leader is supposed to grant the finer things again. Just like its water under the bridge. While the army and it’s security organizations are killing, torturing and silencing the opposition to its power. They are vandalizing hospitals and going house-to-house searches. The state is operating in a manner, which leaders of the civilian organizations are arrested and kidnapped. Therefore, the agreement today is futile and pointless.

The TMC have already breached the previous agreement. The TMC have already stifled the process and lied about it. The IGAD and African Union cannot save this right now. The TMC and the Army Commanders has to listen to the streets, the public dissent and the revolution of which it cannot contain or control.

The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) and Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) have both denounced the agreement. The same has the Sudanese Congress Party (SCP). Therefore, the agreement isn’t broadly accepted. The provisions in it will not matter, because the army commanders will not honour it. They didn’t honour it last time. So, why will they do it now? Aye?

Does Al-Burhan and Hemeti think everyone else is stupid and they are Einstein geniuses? Clearly, they think everyone else is daft and can be punked on a daily basis. Since, this agreement of the 21st November 2021 is a fish out of water. This is a bunch of wasted paper and articles. These provisions and agreed upon is practically worthless.

Article three of it is really infuriating: “The partnership between civilians and the military is the guarantor of the stability and security of Sudan, based on an agreement to implement the partnership in a spirit and confidence, and a commitment to form a civilian government of independent competencies (technocrats)”.

This is not saying they will have an election and get civilian representation. No, this is technocrats, which means people that Al-Burhan and Hemeti trusts. They want to hand-pick the leaders and not have the public decide who is in government. That’s why this part of the agreement isn’t in the spirit of the revolution.

Article five says this though: “Ensuring the transition of the transitional authority on time to an elected civilian government”.

It is hard to believe that, when the same TMC and allies have blocked the timely transitional parts of the previous agreement. As they were losing control and power. Therefore, what stops them from stopping the process again? Who believes these articles and words in 2021?

The FFC and SPA will not be participating in the new council. That’s why the TMC racket is now in full force and Hamdok wanted to sell out like the warlords of Darfur did previously this month. They are all trading all goodwill for a quick slick slice of power. So, that Al-Burhan and Hemeti can both control council for now and secure the technocrats they want. In this way have much more influence and not get outside pressure from FFC or SPA in that matter.

Hamdok as a Prime Minister is a man without any credibility. The agreement is a tanking his role and what he can do. He is legitimizing the second coup and giving way again to Al-Burhan. Hamdok is trading all his assets to men who easily will violate him. He is a pawn and now they will trick him even further. The PM will not have power or be credible. No, his just a poster-boy for the military to keep continued siege over government. That is really it and Hamdok accepts that post now.

This agreement is a waste of time and only done by the TMC to get accepted again. They just want to buy peace and get international recognition again. They don’t care about the costs, the revolutionaries and the people dying in the streets. No, they just want to prolong the power and keep it. The TMC is just lucky to have Hamdok on board twice and his eating the filth they call gold. This document isn’t a sign of justice or hope for a better future. No, it is a violation of the civilians who wants their own representation and giving the TMC more time to define their wanted government. Which is what they wanted all along.

Hamdok is foolish to have accepted this trick and thinking he will have a say. He will just be the one for the headlines, but the ones controlling the game is Al-Burhan and Hemeti. Peace.
