The agreement between civilians, military and paramilitary supposed to restart the democratic transition in Sudan after the 2021 putsch has been postponed again. Civilians said on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, calling for demonstrations on Thursday, the anniversary of anti-putsch uprisings.
The signing of the framework agreement providing for a return to power sharing between civilians and the military was already postponed last week. A sine qua non for the resumption of international aid to the country, one of the poorest in the world, will not take place as planned on Thursday, the historic civilian bloc Forces for Freedom and Change (FLC) said in a statement.
It is no longer the conflict between civilians and the military that is keeping Sudan in a state of deadlock. But the rivalry between the country's de facto leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, head of the army and author of the October 25, 2021 coup, and his second in command, General Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, known as "Hemedti," who heads the ex-militiamen of the Darfur war and is now grouped into the RSF.
The date of April 6 also corresponds to two major anniversaries for the civil movement in Sudan: that of the revolts which in 1985 and then in 2019 brought down two coup presidents 34 years apart.
In anticipation of this mobilization, the authorities have declared April 6 a public holiday and a large military deployment was visible on Wednesday in various parts of Khartoum and its suburbs, notably blocking bridges over the Nile, witnesses reported.
