Leading members of the AU-IGAD-UN Trilateral Mechanism published a statement on the negotiations between the mainstream Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) and Sudan’s military junta on a new constitutional framework yesterday. They talk about ‘a glimmer of political hope’ and write that “we now have a workable document upon which further consensus can be built” and that “we must take advantage of this moment to reach an agreement among the Sudanese stakeholders”.
