July 9, 2025 (PORT SUDAN) -Prime Minister Kamal Idris on Wednesday discussed the vision of several political party representatives for managing the transitional period and called on them to adopt a project to combat hate speech.
On Tuesday, Idris began meetings with political forces, starting with a delegation from the National Umma Party to discuss the stability of the transitional period, support for the army, and backing for the government.
The official Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported that the Prime Minister held a consultative meeting with “national political forces” to discuss the parties’ vision on how to manage the transitional period, the requirements of the current stage, and the prevailing political situation.
Kamal Idris stated that Sudan is fighting a war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and another war against hate speech and destructive rumours.
The Prime Minister called on the political forces to adopt a project of national healing and to fight hate speech.
Sudan has witnessed sharp polarization since the outbreak of the conflict, accompanied by the spread of hate speech, from which civil components and political forces have not been immune, raising concerns about the future of peaceful coexistence.
Leaders from the Democratic Alliance for Social Justice, the National Movement forces, the Coordination for the Return to the Foundation Platform, the Sudan Justice Alliance “Tisaa,” the Popular Congress Party, the National Unionist Party, the Democratic Unionist Party – Higher Leadership Body, the National Line Alliance, the Civil Gathering, and the Sudan Women’s Gathering participated in the meeting with the Prime Minister.
According to the official agency, the speakers renewed their support for the army and its allied forces in the war against the Rapid Support Forces.
They indicated their support for “dialogue and achieving peace in accordance with the aspirations of the Sudanese people by ending the rebellion and defeating the militia,” referring to the RSF.
They expressed their parties’ support for the Prime Minister and their readiness to back the programs of the transitional period to achieve stability and development for the country. They called for avoiding reliance on foreign powers and adopting a “Sudanese-Sudanese” dialogue that excludes no one as a means for national solutions.
The participants urged the Prime Minister to stand at an impartial distance from all political, social, and national components, and to work towards the independence of executive decisions from partisan or regional polarization.
