Delegations of Sudan’s national dialogue committee and the opposition signed an agreement on the national dialogue and constitutional process with the African Union High Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, Sudan Tribune reported Friday.
The signing ceremony was attended by the two national dialogue committees representatives, the SRF delegation and the AUHIP chief.
"The comprehensive political settlement is the ideal option to resolve the Sudanese problem," says the signed text. It further provides that "stopping war, reaching cessation of hostilities and addressing the humanitarian situation shall be an absolute priority in confidence building measures."
The declaration of principles reaffirms also that "ensuring the freedoms and basic human rights, release of political and sentenced detainees are top priorities for confidence building and for the creation of a conducive environment."
