Sudanese civilian forces propose a peace roadmap

Sudanese civilian forces opposed to the war have given regional and international mediators a roadmap proposing a ceasefire, humanitarian aid and a political process. Presented during meetings at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, it notably provides for a 40-member preparatory committee, according to Radio Dabanga.

Sudanese civilian forces opposed to the war presented a roadmap to end the conflict to a five-party regional and international mechanism during meetings that opened on Monday at the headquarters of the African Union in Addis Ababa, according to Radio Dabanga.

The participants want to coordinate peace efforts and address the roots of Sudan’s political crisis. The civilian delegation includes representatives of the forces that signed the Sudanese Declaration of Principles, the Popular Congress Party, civil society organisations and women’s and youth networks. It supports a Sudanese-led political process to restore democratic civilian rule.
