Member of the central council of Sudan’s Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) alliance and aide to Chairman of the National Umma Party Al-Siddiq Sadiq al-Mahdi accused the critics of those who advocate ending the war of continuously holding onto it “out of fear of jeopardizing their interests.” He said these critics are also looking to absolve themselves of responsibility for the war by attributing it to “the civil forces working on instituting structural reforms in the state.”
