The Republic of Sudan

Press Statement
As the Sudanese Armed Forces, Joint Forces, and other supporting forces, backed by all segments of the Sudanese people, are steadily progressing on all fronts of the war imposed on Sudan, tightening the noose around the rebels, the leadership of the state, after extensive consultations with national and societal components, has put forward a roadmap for the post-war phase and resuming of the inclusive political process that will culminate in holding free and fair general elections.
The roadmap includes the following:
- Launching an all-inclusive national dialogue in which all political and societal components participate. All those who adopt a patriotic stance and renounce the aggressors, are welcome to join.
- Forming a cabinet from independent technocrats to resume the tasks of the transitional period and assist the state in overcoming the repercussions of the war.
- Introducing the necessary amendments to the Constitutional Document, which will be endorsed by national and societal forces. Consequently a civilian Prime Minister will be nominated to lead the executive branch of the state without interference.
- Affirming freedom of opinion and political activities in a manner that does not jeopardize the home-land or undermining nationally agreed principles. Additionally it has been confirmed that no citizen will be deprived of the right to obtain a passport.
- Laying down arms and evacuating civilian objects are prerequisites for any talks with the rebels. No ceasefire will be accepted unless the siege on El Fasher is lifted, followed by the withdrawal of the RSF militia from Khartoum, West Kordofan, and the Darfur states.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, therefor, calls on the international community, especially the African Union, the United Nations, and the Arab League, to support the roadmap, as it represents a national consensus for restoring peace and stability in the country and satisfying requirements of the democratic transition.
