The High Council of Beja Nazirs and Independent Chieftains will adhere to their demands for the cancellation of the Eastern Sudan Track, as agreed on in the 2020 Juba Peace Agreement and the formation of a ‘government of technocrats’ as stipulated in the Constitutional Document.
The closure of ports and highways in eastern Sudan in protest against the Eastern Sudan Track protocol in the Juba Peace Agreement entered its third week today. This evening, the deadline for the Sudanese government to decide on the cancellation of the protocol will expire.
It is not clear what will happen when the government does not comply. Yesterday, Sayed Tirik, head of the Hadendawa clan and chairman of the High Council of Beja Nazirs and Independent Chieftains renewed his demand to cancel the Eastern Sudan Track in a speech in El Faw in El Gedaref. In addition, 50 per cent of the resources in eastern Sudan should be allocated for the benefit of Red Sea state, Kassala and El Gedaref.
The protests actions called for by eastern Sudanese community leaders in September, including the blocking of access to the ports in Red Sea state and closure of the pipelines transporting oil from Sudan and South Sudan to Port Sudan for export, have led to the filing of a case against the nazirs.
