#Sudan 🇸🇩: a deal has been reached in order to end the #SudanCoup which has been going on for over a year now.

Both the #FFC and the military have agreed to a 24-month transition, under the leadership of a civilian PM, with elections at the end.

But there's a but 👇

#Sudan 🇸🇩: just as with the previous transition deal there is very little that holds either #Burhan or #Hemedti to honor their promises, meaning the country is and remains very vulnerable to another #SudanCoup at any moment.

There is also no mention of any reform of the military

#Sudan 🇸🇩: the Resistance committees, which were the backbone of the December Revolution have already voiced their opposition to the deal since it doesn't include any framework to bring justice to the 110+ protesters who were killed since the #SudanCoup.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: pro-democracy protests are taking place in the capital city #Khartoum as the transitional deal is being signed.

These protesters reject any deal that does not include military reform and justice to those who were murdered.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: in the Republican Palace in #Khartoum political leaders might promise democratic reforms. But outside protesters are facing the same repression they've faced throughout the coup period.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: its important to note the Resistance Committees do not stand alone in their opposition to the deal. The Sudanese Communist Party, #Darfur Bar Association and the #SPLMN have also criticized the agreement.

The #SLA-MM and #JEM are yet to be convinced.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: tear gas and armored vehicles as it is just more of the same in #Khartoum.

The transition agreement seems to have very little support in the streets.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: it looks like the SPA, which was the leading force of the December Revolution and the anti-coup resistance, is also not supportive of the transitional agreement with the military.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: with all of the country's main pro-democracy grassroot forces (SPA, RS) in opposition to the agreement, it seems this accord is nothing more than a pact between the (para)military forces and the country's ancient political elite (Umma Party, DUP, Congress Party)

#Sudan 🇸🇩: which means minimal representation of the main driving forces of the pro-democracy movement (youth, women, periphery).

Elections in 2024 will probably end up just being another who-gets-what between these established parties which have been around for decades.
