Sudanese political and military leaders are expected to sign a political charter and interim constitution within hours, paving the way for the formation of a transitional government aimed at achieving peace and national unity.
The official announcement of the new government is scheduled for Saturday, marking a significant step in the country’s ongoing political process.
The breakthrough follows a high-level meeting on Friday, where leaders of Sudanese political and civil groups met with representatives of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), and other factions.
A senior political figure confirmed that the parties had reached a consensus on the foundational documents, signaling broad political agreement on the next steps.
The signing, originally set for Friday, was postponed due to the delayed arrival of an SPLM-N delegation led by Abdulaziz al-Hilu in Nairobi. The delegation, which included SPLM-N Deputy Commander Joseph Tuka and senior officials Jagoud Makwar, Ezzat Koko, and Ammar Amun Daldoum, arrived late Thursday and immediately began consultations with political and armed groups, including the RSF.
An SPLM-N official, speaking to Erem News on condition of anonymity, said the final versions of the charter and constitution had been agreed upon.
Senior RSF officials emphasized that discussions in Nairobi are focused solely on signing the foundational political agreements, with the government’s official announcement expected to take place inside Sudan within a month.
Several months ago, Sudanese military leaders and civilian groups agreed to establish a transitional government after SAF Chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected multiple peace initiatives. The planned government will include a Sovereign Council, a Cabinet, and a legislative body representing various segments of Sudanese society.
While an official signing date has not been announced, sources confirm that the ceremony is expected to take place Saturday.
