The leader of Sudan’s National Umma Party, Fadlallah Burma, recently disclosed discussions within the anti-war coalition Tagadum regarding the party’s reform proposals. In an interview with Sudan Tribune, Burma emphasized the Party’s dedication to addressing Tagadum’s shortcomings rather than adhering strictly to the time limit they had set.
On March 10th, the NUP presented a reform vision to Tagadum chairman Abdallah Hamdok. The vision criticized what was perceived as a lack of neutrality in the ongoing conflict, particularly media bias favoring one of the warring parties, specifically the Rapid Support Forces. The Umma Party also proposed a round-table conference involving all national military and political parties, highlighting their commitment to unity and the historical responsibility to end the war and achieve peace.
When asked about the party’s next steps after the deadline, Burma stressed the importance of flexibility in political work and the need to prioritize overcoming differences and reaching consensus. He reiterated the National Umma Party’s commitment to unity and emphasized the party’s historical responsibility to end the war and achieve peace. The current focus is on addressing Tagadum’s shortcomings to create a more inclusive alliance.
Burma emphasized the importance of representation within the alliance, stating that each component deserves fair representation based on its true weight. He highlighted the need for a more equitable distribution of power within the alliance, advocating for a revision of the allocation of power between political forces and civil society actors.
Last October, Tagadum’s founding members agreed to allocate 30% of power to political forces, with the remaining 70% going to civil society actors such as unions, NGOs, and resistance committees. The National Umma Party appears to be pushing for a reconsideration of this structure to ensure fair representation for all components within the alliance.
Overall, the National Umma Party remains committed to fostering unity within Tagadum and addressing the challenges facing the coalition in its efforts to end the war and achieve peace in Sudan. As discussions continue, the Party’s focus on inclusion, representation, and consensus-building remains central to their reform proposals within the anti-war coalition.
