Among the signatories appear
the Islamic Movement, a façade of the banned National Congress Party (NCP) and
the State of Law and Development Party of Mohamed Ali al-Jazouli, a supporter
of the Islamic State (IS) released recently from prison.
The coalition, which does not
include the Popular Congress Party (PCP), aims to coordinate the efforts of the
Islamist groups before the general elections at the end of the transition.
The Sudanese Islamists seek to
take advantage of the new political environment created by the coup d’état of
General al-Burhan who reinstated the Islamist elements in the civil service and
security services.
Al-Burhan, also, speaks about
the need to involve all the political groups that were allied to the NCP in the
former regime of Omer al-Bashir including the PCP.
Speaking in a press conference
held to launch the coalition, NCP leading member Amin Hassan Omer said they
have not yet established an organisational structure adding they would leave
this task for the youth in the respective groups.
The Islamist groups organised
a Ramadan iftar meal for their supporters in the Freedom Square, east of
Khartoum, in commemoration of the Great Badr Battle, with the participation of
prominent NCP leaders.
The participants chanted
slogans against the left and in support of the ruling military component after
the coup of October 25, 2021. - Sudan Tribune
