"Framework Agreement" as a solution to the political crisis

"Framework Agreement" as a solution to the political crisis

The United Nations (UN), the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development in East Africa, as well as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, and the United States, are working together to find a solution to the political crisis in Sudan. As a result of these initiatives, a "Framework Agreement" was signed between the military and civilians on December 5, 2022.

The agreement included conditions such as the appointment of a civilian representative as prime minister by the political parties that signed it, the establishment of a 2-year transition period, during which reforms would be carried out in the justice, security, and military sectors, the completion of the "Juba Peace Agreement" and the ceasefire process, and the complete end of the regime of former President Omar al-Bashar.

However, serious disagreements have emerged between the army and its ruling partner, the HDK, over security and military reforms. Tensions have increased between the parties over issues such as the HDK's integration into the army.

War between the army and the HDK

On April 15, 2023, war broke out between the army and the HDK. The conflict, which began in the capital, Khartoum, spread to various regions of the country.

While foreign interventions have prolonged the conflict in Sudan, which is plagued by war and famine, international mediation efforts have yet to reach a solution.

The Sudanese army and government blame the UAE for the war and believe it supports the Houthi rebels.

Although UN reports confirm these allegations, the UAE denies them.

The world forgot Sudan

Experts are noting that the world is becoming more sensitive and responsive to developments in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon. However, the war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where the UN says there is unprecedented hunger and the world's largest migration crisis, has been largely forgotten.

The UN has reported that more than 20,000 people have died in the war in Sudan, but the number is believed to be much higher.

In Sudan, which has a population of approximately 50 million, the number of internally and externally displaced people exceeds 12 million, and more than 25 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
