CAIRO — Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has revealed the reasons for his delay in forming the new government. He confirmed in a Facebook post, “Since the signing of the political agreement Nov. 21, the transitional government has not been formed. We are well aware of the involvement of all the political forces supporting the revolution and the civil democratic transition in a serious and deep dialogue to agree on a national charter, and to create a broad front to achieve and fortify the civil democratic transition.”

He continued, “This national consensus will constitute a national framework to unite ranks and establish a mechanism to form a technocratic government. It will also help complete the structures of the transitional authority and monitor its work to achieve the priorities of the remainder of the transitional period. These include implementing the Juba Peace Agreement, completing the peace process, achieving stability and economic recovery, enhancing the security situation and completing the democratic transition process through free and fair elections.”
