Preamble

The international and regional conditions, with their rapidly developing complexities, place Sudan at the forefront of events after the victory of the Sudanese people revolution that decided the options of the people of Sudan by choosing the path of integration into the international community as an active member in the international and regional system instead of isolation and extremism and the character of terrorism and human rights violations, which means adherence to Sudan’s sovereignty in the land and human being And taking advantage of its resources to achieve the aspirations of its people, which were expressed by the Sudanese in frankly and seriously in the revolution of 19 / December / 2018 AD, forming the Sudanese dream of biasing the regular forces to the people's choice on April 11, 2019. Sudan entered the transitional process through the basic declaration 17 / July / 2019 and confidence in the constitutional document on 2 / August / 2019 and the formation of the transitional government on 5/5/2019 the rest of the achievement of reform in all political, economic, social, cultural, scientific and military dimensions by catching up with technology as an expression of Awareness of the importance of the geopolitical site is the rest of achieving lasting peace, ending wars and maintaining the social fabric of peace and achieving social peace, which imposes the establishment of the rules for democratic transformation and the convening of the constitutional conference to advance the Sudanese state by taking advantage of the capabilities and resources Hindered by the blockade and the international isolation to achieve development and national construction to support the country's forces in a world that does not respect the weak

This declaration seeks with earnest confidence and resolute perseverance to bring together all political forces on the minimum agreement expressing the supreme national interests to secure the internal front by achieving the unity of Sudan land, people and common national goals through the minimum common team work program summarized in the following axes

Earth's unity, conscience and destiny

 Sudan is an African-Arab country with multiple ethnic, cultural and racial configurations. Nevertheless, its unity as a state and society remains the concern of all its inhabitants due to the unity of land, history and a common destiny, which necessitates the Sudanese life forces and at the forefront of political parties and movements of different intellectual, regional and ethnic references - the search for an equation that expresses common denominators In one earth, one history and one destiny. What is required is to achieve unity while highlighting diversity and diversity. For this reason, the Gathering of Sudan calls for the "Guyana" that brings together the Sudanese forces under the declaration based on the base of the territorial integrity and the unity of destiny and shared interests, with the aim of upholding the Sudanese identity as a national socio-political legal ceiling on the basis of citizenship and enhancing the Sudanese national personality as a collective identity of the state and society, which supports coexistence, mixing and assimilation. Which means the sanctity of national political boundaries to confirm national and societal identity. The Sudanese identity supports the independent political decision of the state, while not denying regional, ethnic, and cultural identities. The grouping adheres to the concept of unity within the framework of diversity, for this grouping works the concept of the unity of Sudan after the referendum, confirming the unity of the land that does not accept division with the independence of the political decision, a will to fulfill the unity of geography, history and common destiny, that unity for which the fathers and grandfathers shed their blood to preserve them through the ages, even since Man knew stability on the planet. What makes the people of Sudan a common past and a shared present for this? We will work to build a common future.

Lasting peace, addressing territorial and territorial grievances, and addressing marginalization

 The Sudan Caucus supports us, the peace negotiations that are being held in Juba and seeks to make it succeed with all available energies and capabilities to achieve national satisfaction and address grievances and their effects from the displaced, refugees and camps in full cooperation with the international community and the regional (African, Arab) neighborhood.

Economic reform

The Gathering of Sudan sees us uniting with us the necessity of systematic economic planning by stakeholders from representatives of producers, the public sector and the private sector with regional and international partners through an economic conference that redistributes income and resource returns, as it works on emergency programs in the medium and short term stages and plans to remove structural and structural distortions through An ambulatory program connected, consistent and consistent with the vision of the Sudanese dream. Among the most prominent distortions is the inconsistency of the economic policy with the state’s policies. Sudan applied the policies of public sector control, customs protectionism, and the state of the social parish in light of an open policy on the capitalist West. It also applied free market policy in light of a break with the global market and international free economic centers, which showed distortion. And a permanent inconsistency in the Sudanese economy, it looked like the economy of war and the economy of scarcity.

 The Sudan Gathering brings us together. He believes that economic stability requires consistency between the political orientations of the state and its economic trend. Rather, we see that the moment the Sudanese economy must integrate into the global economy, but the current historical moment is very late. For this reason, it is necessary for the Sudanese economy to trust with the free economy and for the state’s policy to be directed towards the free democratic policy that is raised from the rule of law. Global and Sudanese experiences have confirmed the impossibility of establishing economic freedom in the absence of political freedom and vice versa that it is impossible to build a free and democratic country in the shadow of a rentier economy Or a state of care or economy dominated by the public sector. Public freedoms, the rule of law, transparency, accountability, and the fight against corruption are essential conditions that are inevitable for joining the trade organization. There is no free economy under totalitarianism.

The Sudan Declaration finds that it brings us together that there is a package of measures and measures that must be accompanied to cross in overcoming the economic imbalance in all the executive stages we reduce it to:

 Rapid and urgent treatment of the living crisis, which grinds the majority of citizens by expanding opportunities for medium and small production, controlling prices and protecting consumers.

 Encouraging the cooperative system by enacting a cooperation law that does not contradict the principle of free trade to reduce the effects of openness on global investments.

 Vertical and horizontal expansion of production and services infrastructures.

 Expanding investment in national transportation and countries, qualifying existing appointments and linking them to the era through modernization.

 Dialogue with regional and international partners to establish a road transport link between the Atlantic and the Red Sea through which 20% of global merchants are expected to pass, in addition to linking the national market with landlocked countries located in the borders of the international road linking West and East Africa.

Upgrading the military system

 Reality is the international struggle, a struggle of interests, competencies, and capabilities that depend on competitiveness, which forces countries to use direct strategy. Modern countries, as they are concerned with every state, are seriously interested in the military system, which is supposed to be a quality of effectiveness and influencing the protection of supreme interests and realizing the requirements of national security Sudan. International peace, combating cross-border crime and fighting terrorism.

 Political reform and the rule of law.

 The careful consideration of the reality of the Sudanese national crisis clearly shows that its essence is a chronic political crisis. Therefore, we see that the starting point lies in settling the political differences between the components of the Sudanese political movement, which has become immune to any rationality or logic. We do not discuss here the details of the ideological differences that have been given priority from the right and the left over the security and safety of the national homeland. We are still working diligently to end these non-objective differences without insisting on holding each other accountable for the legacy of the past with his mistakes and sins. One of the effects of ideological bickering is the disruption of the Sudanese political system in each post-independence era, so the reality of instability responsible for all subsequent imbalances is established. It has an ideological character (the regime of nationalist extremist military leaders (November 1958 - October 1964), the system of left-wing free officers (May 1969 - April 1985), the Islamic military regime (1989 - 2019) that ended with the popular revolution that was decided by the Civilian and Military Coalition ). Three democratic epochs passed through Sudan: The first democracy from 1956-1958 inherited from the colonial era, the second democracy 1964-1969, in which the right and the left allied themselves, so they overthrew the top military leaders and ended with the right-to-power assuming power. The left regime fell in alliance with the junior officers - the third democracy 1985-1989 So a government was formed outside the democratic establishment in what was known as the government of the palace, which paved the way for the coup of Islamic officers). Between the civil and military eras, the transition period prevailed in the second time, purely civil, led by the secret of the sealing caliph, and in the third participation between civilians and the military, the transitional periods were characterized by a short time and the inability to fulfill the covenants for the severity of the polarization from left and right. On April 11, 2019, the regular forces sided with the protesting street, and the left-wing Chuck came back, so the transition steps were graduated

A first transitional period (April 2019 / - September / 2019) in which the military was the only one due to security needs and political complications.

A second transitional period (August 2019 until agreement on peace with the armed movements) emerged as a partnership between the military and some political movement.

A third period is expected after the peace agreement with the armed forces through a joint negotiation process between the military and civilian components. The peace agreement will lead to a non-electoral formation of the legislative authority.

 Practicality showed a vacuum around decentralized rule in the states, and the states were governed by military rulers. He postponed the formation of the Federal Legislative Council (Parliament) until after peace.

 The announcement considers that it is to fill the gaps that have been shown in practice and to achieve coherence of the internal front. It is necessary to take two necessary steps to balance the transition process.

 The establishment of a political and national forum for all factions of the political movement, the rest of the formation of a national collision behind the transitional process, welcoming all the developments of the Sudanese revolution, whose main agenda is to address the following:

• Linking the peace achievement process with peace sovereignty and creating the national climate for peace steps

• Forming an independent national identity concerned with drafting party laws, reforming the civil service, the Commission for Human Rights and the Independence Commission, and preparing for the constitutional conference.

• Agreement on a presidential, parliamentary, or mixed system of government. How important it is to agree on steps for democratization and popularization.

 The announcement envisioned the adoption of the presidential system, with the burdens of the executive body assigned by the elected presidency.

The announcement sees the gradual transition from revolutionary legitimacy to electoral legitimacy through five-year steps that end with presidential elections and the president-elect's announcement.

 Democratization

 The transition from an exceptional mandate to a popular mandate is the essence of the democratic transformation process, the importance of this step lies in its decisive ability to overcome the political commitment related to the legitimacy of the system of government, as it removes the social congestion manifested in regional, regional, and sectarian congestions, and the democratic transformation achieves energy as a light towards the global system that Sudan seeks To normalize his conditions in it. The importance of the effectiveness and the credibility of the democratic transition must not come as a single payment, as happened in previous transitional periods. From here comes the importance of gradualism in building the three legislative, executive and judicial powers in order to achieve the benefit of separating the authorities. The Sudanese experience says it is not expected and certainly the direct transition to the comprehensive multi-level elections and it did not achieve positive results, but rather the opposite increases the extent of internal polarization and the internal front is completed, which undermines stability and restores Production of the new old crisis. In light of the current conditions, we see the hasty fulfillment of the duty of popular delegation through the election threatening the existence of the Sudanese state itself. This move should be calculated by steps through the agreement of the political forces and the care of the military system on graduated bases after the drafting of the law of parties and the convening of the constitutional conference.

He believes that the process of progressive democratization during the five years is as follows:

 Election of governors after the third transitional period after peace.

After two years, parliamentary legislative elections for the two chambers of parliament (deputies and notables) dwarf the total membership of the two chambers, 390 members. Central Senate Chamber elects rural representatives with 190 members. As for the Chamber of Deputies, it includes 200 members, which include the urban geographical districts in the main cities and modern forces (graduates, professionals, classes, and regular forces).

The two elected chambers of parliament are preparing to prepare for the constitutional conference authorizing the permanent constitution of Sudan.

All public, private and regulatory laws are approved for civil and sugary service, trade, education, technology, state relations and the constitutional court.

Approving the results of the presidential elections that deal with the country as a single electoral district.

Social reform and darn national fabric

 Achieving social reform requires changing the terrestrial logic that prevailed in addressing the conflict of regional and ethnic social components, which weakened the rule of law. Most of the crises and conflicts that prevailed were exacerbated by this instinctive emotional logic, which threatened the stability of rural societies throughout Sudan. The legal treatment based on the National Security Law is based on analysis and deduction. In the civil remedies, they jump to the results without going through the priorities, and ignore the major national priorities. Therefore, clan, tribal and regional conflicts have spread, but have still reproduced themselves outside the logic of the principles of objective arithmetic. And the state's time. Hence the necessity of deepening the balance and communication between the center and the states through measures that regulate the conditions of the states in order to protect rural societies, improve the social fabric, eradicate the culture of violence and conflicts, and restrict the use of weapons. The fundamental link in social reform is the rule of law, besieged and re-engineering the resettlement of rural societies and activating the role of civil administration with a new horizon

 Cultural reform and technological advancement

 The entire transition efforts are hostage to the return of the Sudanese mind to a new formulation, and its rehabilitation and operation, to get it out of the state of frustration, backwardness, refraction and indifference in which people fell as a result of facilitation, simplification and extremism, by building a new educational system from the base to the level of higher education and instilling a new image of the self and mechanisms of dealing With the worker. Work to develop a national cultural plan aimed at changing the mentality of backwardness and extremism.

 Organizing public education on a new basis to produce cadres with advanced production capabilities that achieve the competitive state and address waste in human resources

 Organizing higher education and scientific research to serve the Sudanese state’s requirements and achieve national security and achieve the national self.

 The technological advancement of technology is Sudan's gateway to enter the era and contribute and benefit from the information and technological revolutions.

summary

Sudan is facing a historic opportunity for political transition at the same time, the opportunity to move from its chronic crises in managing the diversity that gave birth to conflicts, crises and wars. Human world building. The time has come for Sudan to advance in the path of a comprehensive renaissance and stability. The new circumstances strongly emphasized the issue of building the Sudanese person, the Sudanese state, and Sudanese society, starting from a serious movement towards the future, by raising the weight of the state and preserving the resources, by overcoming the weaknesses and shortages that wasted its energies for decades.
