Kamil Idris: Government Preparing Climate for Inclusive Sudanese Dialogue

Prime Minister Kamil Idris said the Government of Hope is working to prepare the climate for an inclusive Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue that excludes no one, describing the process as the platform for reaching consensus on how Sudan should be governed before moving to elections.
He said the dialogue will include all Sudanese components, stressing that political parties and blocs wishing to participate are welcome, regardless of labels or affiliations. He added that the outcome of the dialogue should be an agreed framework for governance, followed by direct elections under international observation, in which the Sudanese people choose their leaderships.
Speaking at a press conference in Port Sudan upon his returned from New York, Idris said Sudan has intensified official and popular diplomatic engagement with neighboring African countries, noting ongoing communication with Egypt and Saudi Arabia. He added that efforts are underway to open new channels even with countries that have not yet initiated peace with Sudan, as part of preparations for both the peace initiative and the Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue.
He said practical measures have already begun, including facilitating procedures for Sudanese abroad, lifting restrictions imposed on them, and reviewing certain reports to create an enabling environment for participation.
Idris also pointed to recent facilitations related to passports and the civil registry, issued under the direction of President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), saying these logistical, legal, and political steps aim to prepare the climate for the dialogue.
Responding to questions on international monitoring, Idris said Sudan would not accept the deployment of UN forces, stressing that past experiences caused severe hardship. He said any monitoring must be agreed upon by the Sudanese state and cannot be imposed, reaffirming Sudan’s sovereignty over the initiative.
He added that any form of monitoring would be subject to the consent of the Sudanese government.
