SPLM-N directs negotiating team to stick with initial positions
July 9, 2021 (KHARTOUM) - The SPLM-N’s National Liberation Council has instructed the negotiating team to stick with positions included in the drat framework agreement filed to the Sudanese government last May.
On 27 May, the government and SPLM-N delegations resumed peace talks in Juba after the signing of a declaration of principles providing to separate the state and religion by the Head of the Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Movement’s leader Abdel Aziz al-Hilu on 28 March.
The talks very quickly stalled over the draft framework agreement by the SPLM-N because it includes Darfur in the negotiations and made some propositions like changing the weekend to Wednesday to ensure the separation between the state and religion, among others.
