Nairobi, Kenya – Bakri al-Jak, spokesperson for the “Sumud” alliance, affirmed that “the gun cannot be Sudan’s project.” He also stressed the necessity of pursuing comprehensive political solutions that end the ongoing war and pave the way for a new era of stability.
A call for political solutions
Al-Jak told Sky News Arabia that the recent Nairobi meeting “moved beyond generalities and addressed the aspirations of the Sudanese people.”
He considered the meeting to have provided important indicators of the possibility of building
a different political path that addresses the root causes of the Sudanese crisis.
Al-Jak explained that the participating forces emphasized the importance of ending reliance on military solutions.
He also called for working towards launching a political process that represents the various components of Sudanese society.
He added that the continuation of the war has caused complex humanitarian, economic, and security crises.
Therefore, reaching a comprehensive political settlement is an urgent necessity to preserve Sudan’s unity and stability.
Nairobi meeting and breaking the crisis
The spokesperson for the “Sumud” coalition indicated that the Nairobi meeting represents “a prelude to breaking the vicious cycle of war in Sudan.”
He explained that the discussions addressed issues related to state-building and achieving sustainable peace.
He emphasized that the participants sought to present a more realistic vision for addressing the crisis, moving beyond general slogans.
At the same time, they focused on fulfilling the aspirations of the Sudanese people for security, stability, and justice.
