Sudanese Communist Party spokesperson Yousif Hussein told Radio Tamazuj his party has no comment about the initiative and that the government did not respond to the initiative until now.

Hussein downplayed the initiative and stressed that his party is going forward with the opposition alliance program of regime change.

For his part, the secretary for political affairs of the Sudan Congress Party Bakry Yousif also downplayed the initiative.

He said the initiative is part of what all are doing and that all people have lost confident in the regime and such initiatives cannot change it.

He said they are continuing with the opposition alliance to change the regime.

Meanwhile, Nabeel Adib a prominent lawyer and one of the signatories of the initiative, said they have presented their proposal to President al-Bashir.

He told Radio Tamazuj that the initiative is a call for formation of a technocratic government which will preach peace and political stability and reconstruct what the wars have destroyed.

Adib added that the initiative is also a call for the formation of a transitional government of national unity with the participation of all political forces for two or more years and to prepare the ground for free and fair election in the country.
