Sudanese Minister Accuses Bashir’s Regime of ‘Fueling Tribal Conflicts’

The Minister of Federal Government in Sudan, Buthaina Dinar, accused the regime of ousted president Omar al-Bashir of fueling bloody conflicts between civil societies in the country’s states.

In a Sunday press conference in Khartoum, Dinar said that the government and security services should conduct a transparent investigation into all statements of “known personalities who contributed to fueling the conflict in the Blue Nile and hold them legally accountable.”

She pointed out that none of those involved in the bloody events in the region were arrested, which left dozens dead and wounded and thousands of displaced people.

Dinar belongs to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement led by Malik Agar, a member of the Sovereignty Council.

Blue Nile parties had accused the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement of involvement in the bloody tribal conflicts in the region.

Dinar said that there will be no stability in the states of Darfur, East and Blue Nile, unless the “Juba Peace Agreement” is implemented.

Other conditions to stability include disarming militias and integrating armed movements into Sudan’s armed forces, said Dinar.

The minister also called for the formation of commissions, including a commission on land ownership.

In other news, a new political alliance “Forces for Radical Change (FRC)” led by the Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) and comprising several civil and trade union groups was announced in Khartoum on Sunday.

The FRC includes a number of labor movements and civil society groups such as the Sudanese Professionals Association, the Union of Farmers in Al-Jazirah and Managuel, and the Sudanese Women’s Union.

The goals of the new umbrella aimed at bringing down the coup and achieving a radical revolutionary change, said SCP Political Secretary Mohamed Mokhtar al-Khatib.
