Sudanese opposition leader Abdalla Hamdok declared success on Sunday after two days of civilian coalition talks in Ethiopia’s capital.
Representatives of anti-war groups, civil society organisations and youth networks signed a joint roadmap aimed at paving the way for comprehensive peace negotiations.
Hamdok said the meeting demonstrated that unity was possible despite scepticism, adding that the coalition was engaging regional powers to oppose a military solution.
The document rejected SAF chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s proposed “Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue”, describing it as a cover for continued military rule.
It set out three priorities: opening humanitarian corridors, securing a comprehensive ceasefire and holding inclusive political dialogue that excludes the former ruling party.
The coalition said SAF and Rapid Support Forces should focus on ceasefire and humanitarian duties and remain outside politics.
It also endorsed the Quartet’s 2025 roadmap and thanked Ethiopia for hosting the talks.
