I welcome the swearing-in today of Abdalla Hamdok to be prime minister of #Sudan’s transitional government, and I congratulate the Sudanese people on this milestone as they work to establish a civilian-led transitional government.
mcgovern.house.gov/news/documents…
I hope the Constitutional Declaration leads to the formation of a government that – after decades of struggle, suffering and sacrifice – guarantees peace throughout Sudan, human rights, justice, full political participation, and a better future for Sudan's families and children.
I also support justice for the crimes committed by the Bashir regime – not just for widespread and endemic corruption, but for gross human rights abuses, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide carried out against the people of Darfur and the Sudanese people.
How military authorities collaborate with civilians and deliver on the demands of civil society for justice, freedom, peace and economic opportunity will be closely watched and judged in the coming days, weeks and months. #SudanUprising

1/ Make no mistake: @realDonaldTrump is trying to please another authoritarian strongman instead of standing w/ our allies. His reckless twitter announcement undermines U.S safety, empowers the Islamic State, Russia & Assad. It will create more humanitarian chaos in the region.
2/ What did Trump and Turkish President Erdoğan discuss in their phone call before this announcement? Were any promises exchanged for this disastrous and unplanned withdrawal that paved the way for Turkey to move into Syria?
3/ This decision (made without consulting the Pentagon or State Dept.) will likely cause hundreds of thousands of civilians and internally displaced people living near the border to flee, in addition to disrupting ongoing humanitarian operations. This is a disaster in the making.

For over 50 years, America’s economic blockade against Cuba has been a complete failure. That's why I traveled to Cuba w/ @rosadelauro to build upon President Obama’s constructive dialogue between our countries and extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people.
Not only does our embargo hurt the Cuban people, it hurts America, too. There are lifesaving medicines that have been developed and produced in Cuba that are not available here because of our policies. Our businesses want to trade w/ Cuba, but they can’t because of our sanctions.
During our trip, we met with Cuban entrepreneurs and biotechnology researchers, alongside with their American counterparts, to discuss opportunities for collaboration and investment.

1/ Another ridiculous lie from @realDonaldTrump.

From day one, @HouseDemocrats have been focused on delivering on our promises to the American people. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” and refuses to even consider our bills.
2/ We have the receipts to back it up.
We passed #HR1, the For The People Act — the most ambitious set of ethics & election reforms in a generation. It gets big money out of politics, protects voting rights & strengthens ethics laws.
3/ We passed the #EqualityAct to ensure #LGBTQ Americans get the same legal protection as everyone else.

THREAD:

With just this quote on the “negotiation process”, Malik Agar may have lost some “informed & trusted credibility” that they have accumulated for his SPLM-N faction over the past few days & weeks of their talks with the SPA & the other “non-armed members” of the FFC....
...Of course, he was PERSONALLY always going to be “asked by someone in Juba” to “return that favour” given to him wrt the TMC’s detention of his 3 SPLM-N “comrades” in Khartoum...comrades who were then deported back to Juba at “the request” of Pres. Salva Kiir; & who have now...
...been “based” in Juba ever since - hence the word “leverage”.

Incidentally, & regarding the “association & relationship” between the regimes in Khartoum & in Juba - Just WHO EXACTLY is that ever-present, & ubiquitous, “facilitator” called Tut Kew Gatluak?

The FFC & the TMC Reach Agreement on the Composition of the Civilian-led Transitional Government in #Sudan; following AU & Ethiopian mediation.

KEY DETAILS:

A Sovereign Council (to replace “The Presidency” during the Transitional Period) to be made up of 5 civilians & 5 military personnel. One extra civilian is to be decided upon by both the FFC & the TMC. This 6th civilian could be, but not necessarily, a retired...
...military officer.

The military will have the Chair of the Sovereign Council (SC) first for 18 months; then the civilians for the final 18 months of a three-year long Transitional Period.

An Executive will be established to run the country day-to-day, & it will be made-up...

Over the last week, protests have erupted across #Sudan, with NISS intelligence service stations being burnt and reports of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) defending protestors in some locations. This is a developing thread for remotely monitoring the situation, h/t @trevorsnapp.
In Atbara, for example, protesters have set fire to the headquarters of ruling the National Congress Party, led by President Omar al-Bashir. There's plenty of visual evidence of the unrest, such as this video. Geolocation: 17.694190, 34.001319 (google.com/maps/place/17%…).
The NCP headquarters suffered heavy damage from the protests on 19 Dec 2018, as this photo shows (h/t @wasilalitaha). Second image shows the building in a better state, via their Facebook page.
