Gen. Malik Agar, Deputy Head of Sudan’s Sovereignty Council, has reiterated their side’s commitment to a negotiated solution to end the war in the country.
Aggar made the remarks during his address at the founding conference of Sudanese National Forces in Port Sudan on Saturday, stating that the Sudanese government remains committed to a negotiated solution. “However, every time we start the negotiation process, rebellion expands to other cities, including Khartoum to Geneina, Zalingei, and Al Jazeera,” he said.
On his part, Mohamed Widaa, a leader in the Sudanese National Forces Coordination, said they will remain open, with peace sessions until a point where workshops are held, leading to the establishment of the Sudanese National Forces Coordination team in its final stage.
Similarly, another leader in the Sudanese National Forces Coordination, Al-Tom Haju, affirmed that the Jeddah negotiating platform would remain the only avenue through which a solution to the Sudanese crisis can be reached.
The National Coordination Forces comprise of various Sudanese political blocs working towards ending the war and achieving a peaceful resolution in Sudan.
The conference aims to establish a national alliance for these Sudanese political blocs.
The nearly one-year conflict in Sudan between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Army has led to massive deaths and the destruction of property.
Thousands of innocent civilians have also been displaced into refugee camps across the neighbouring countries, including Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya and South Sudan.
