Sudan military council to start dialogue with political groups

The solution to Sudan’s crisis will come from
protesters and not the military, the head of the political committee of the
transitional military council said on Friday.
In a press conference, political committee’s head,
Omar Zeinalabdin said ‘‘We are the protectors of the demands of the people and
that is by consensus from the political entities,’’ Al Arabiya TV reported.
Zeinalabdin said that the council has no solution to
the Sudan crisis (after the ouster of president Omar Bashir) and that the
solution will come from the protesters.
The head of the political committee of the
transitional military council added that Sudan’s military ruling council
welcomes dialogue with political groups to put an end to the crisis.
He also said the council ‘‘won’t force anything on
the people,’’ and that it wants to create an atmosphere for dialogue.
The ruling military council expects a transition
period it announced on Thursday to be two years at most, and said it can be as
short as one month if it is managed ‘‘without chaos,’’ said Zeinalabdin.
