September 5, 2020 (khartoum) Leader of the Sudanese National Umma Party, Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi, has denied his party call for early elections, affirming that his party supports the efforts of the transitional government headed by Prime Minister Dr. Abdullah Hamdouk, and said: “We do not want an increase in the fragility of the transitional period”
Last August, he said the country faces three options: chaos, a military coup, or calling for snap elections.
Addressing Al-Intibaha newspaper forum, organized on Saturday, to mark one-year anniversary of the formation of the government of the December revolution, Al-Mahdi warned, that there are Islamist
movements that are suppressing the revolutionary ideology that have not yet understood the lesson, although they were part of the defunct Salvation Government, calling on the armed forces to realizethat
Sudan cannot be ruled by an authoritarian regime..
Last Thursday, hundreds of people demonstrated in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, demanding the overthrow of the transitional government and calling on the army to take power.
The former Sudanese prime minster, stressed the country’s urgent need for a national unity that includes all parties, for the success of the transitional period and preserving the state’s civilization, with the
need to integrate the Rapid Support Forces into the armed forces system and for all of them to be governed by one law.
Alsadig revealed contacts he is conducting with reformers in Iran, such as Khatami and Rouhani, to bring about a peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Iran, stressing at the same time that Sudan needs to
deal with Iran on the basis of coexistence and non-interference in internal affairs.
