In a letter seen by Sudan Tribune Monday, the deputy rapporteur of the
freedoms and fundamental rights subcommittee, Omer al-Sajad casted
doubts on the seriousness and credibility of the process saying the
conclusions and recommendations of their panel have been changed.
In his letter to President Omer al-Bashir and leaders of political
parties participating in the National Dialogue Conference, al-Sajad
said they learnt that the secretary general of the conference
cancelled their recommendations and held a new session for their panel
while him and the subcommittee rapporteur Ibrahim Dagash left the
country after the submission of their report.
Al-Sajad is the chairman of a group called "Dialogue’s Supporters"
composed of independent Sudanese Islamists who are critical of
Bashir’s regime but believe that the dialogue is the only way to
resolve the political crisis in Sudan.
He said their subcommittee had ended its works since two weeks but it
delayed the submission of its conclusions to the dialogue secretariat,
hoping to reach a consensus with the ruling party over the outstanding
issues.
However when a meeting was held last Thursday with the participation
of the NCP delegate Yasir Youssef, the latter demanded to register the
reservation of his party on the Trade Union bill in the minutes of the
meeting.
?
Al-Sajad who is also a member of the redaction committee said the
meeting endorsed the recommendations and the redaction committee
drafted the agreed additions on Saturday.
However he said they learnt that conference’s secretary general
cancelled the agreed recommendations and called for a new meeting to
change it.
He called on President Bashir who is the chairperson of the dialogue
coordination committee to remediate this situation and correct this
irregularity .
The dialogue process is boycotted by the opposition groups that demand
to review its mechanism and to release freedoms in the country .
