December 4, 20222 (KHARTOUM) – The Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) denied reports that the signing of a framework agreement had been suspended to give room for talks with the armed groups that rejected it.
Abdel Aziz Asher, a leading member of the Justice and Equality Movement said that they agreed with an FFC delegation to postpone in principle the signing of the framework agreement” according to a post on Facebook by an Egyptian journalist.
“The forces for Freedom and Change confirm that the signing of the Political Framework Agreement will take place on the predetermined date, tomorrow, Monday, December 5, 2022,” read the statement.
“News reports about its postponement are inaccurate and baseless,” further stressed the FFC.
The coalition added that the postponement was not discussed with the Democratic Bloc, pointing out that the general principles and terms of the political framework agreement are clear regarding the objectives of the revolution and the achievement of democratic transition.
Several misleading fake news and rumours about the political process recently circulated on social media.
“The purpose (of these false reports) is to disturb the political arena and confuse public opinion,” concluded the FFC.
The political coalition and the military component on Friday issued statements announcing that the signing ceremony will take place on Monday.
