Al-Mirghani asks Egypt to support Sudan democratic transition

May 9, 2008 (CAIRO) — The leader of the Sudanese Unionist Democratic Party (DUP) urged the Egyptian government to exert efforts supporting democratic transition in the country and to achieve national reconciliation.

Mohamed Osman al-Mirghani met on May 7 with the Egyptian foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit seeking Egypt’s support to his initiative on the comprehensive national reconciliation.

Al-Mirghani, who is the head of the National Democratic Alliance, signed a reconciliation agreement with the Sudanese government brokered by the Egyptian government on June 18, 2005.

Despite the signing of the political accord and the participation of two NDA ministers in the Government of the National Unity, al-Mirghani refuses to return to Khartoum saying that there are some arrangements that Khartoum should fulfil before to regain the Sudanese capital.

The historical ally of Egypt, al-Mirghani, proposed to the Egyptian government to hold a comprehensive meeting for all the political forces to seal an agreement on a national platform.

Further, he wants Cairo to put pressure on Khartoum to fully implement the June 18, 2005 agreement, in a way to integrate his military organisation “Army of al-Fateh” and to abrogate repressive laws as it is stipulated in the Cairo Agreement, the CPA as well as the Interim Constitution.

The ruling National Congress Party which is very keen to prevent any rapprochement between the DUP and the SPLM before the upcoming general elections in 2009, tries to have al-Mirghani on its side. However the recent agreement with Sadiq al-Mahdi the leader of Umma party and the NCP more than ever would force the DUP leader to distance himself with the ruling party and encourage the SPLM and the DUP to revive their old alliance.

Since last month, al-Mirghani held a meeting for the NDA leardership in Cairo, he also met the SPLM Secretary General and former NDA secretary general Pagan Amum, and two of the NCP leading members Nafi Ali Nafi and Mustafa Osman Ismael.
