Sudanese political forces opposing the proposal to form a parallel government revealed today, Tuesday, the birth of a civil democratic alliance for the revolutionary forces, named "Sumoud," chaired by former Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok.
The "Taqaddum" forces announced on Monday the disconnection between a group calling for the formation of a government and another resisting it, following the insistence of Deputy Head of the Coordination, Al-Hadi Idris, on forming a parallel civilian government to seize legitimacy from the government based in Port Sudan, which was appointed by Army Commander General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
The Sudanese forces opposing the proposal to form a parallel government, which includes 58 entities and Sudanese figures, stated in their announcement on Tuesday that "the last few months have seen a divergence of views among the components of (Taqaddum) regarding the issue of legitimacy and how to address it, and this divergence has resulted in two positions that are difficult to reconcile, leading to the approval of the disconnection of political and organizational ties between the two positions. The first position sees continuing the struggle through means of civil democratic action without forming a government, while the second position believes that forming a government is one of the tools of the coordination's work."
The statement added: "We, the undersigned groups and components below, which have rejected forming a government as one of the tools to strip legitimacy from the Port Sudan authority, announce to our people and the local, regional, and international public opinion our organization starting from Tuesday, under the name: The Civil Democratic Alliance for the Revolutionary Forces (Sumoud). "
The statement clarified that it was agreed to "work through temporary structures led by Abdullah Hamdok until the permanent structures are adopted after completing the necessary organizational discussions," according to what was reported by "Asharq" website.
