Khartoum — The United States former president Jimmy Carter has asked the leader of the opposition Popular Congress Party (PCP) Hassan Al-Turabi, to visit the United States and meet with influential figures and decision makers in Washington, a party figure said. The PCP secretary of foreign affairs, Bashir Adam Rahma, told Sudan Tribune on Wednesday that Turabi informed Carter that PCP institutions would discuss the issue before offering a reply. Carter met with representatives of the PCP on Wednesday and discussed Sudan's political issues besides the ongoing conflict in South Sudan. According to Rahma, Turabi expressed concern over the situation in South Sudan and predicted that war would fragment the newborn state particularly as the country is under military rule and lacks democratic institutions and strong political parties. He said that the PCP delegation told Carter that stability in Sudan and South Sudan are interconnected due to long common borders between the two countries. Rahma added the meeting discussed several other items including the proposals for new constitution and transitional government, pointing they noted to Carter the volatile political situation in Sudan. The PCP official said they informed Carter about the need to establish an interim government and boycotting the 2015 general elections under the current circumstances and called for delaying it to 2017 besides drafting a new constitution through a constituent assembly which would consider possibility of forming interim government. Sudan's opposition parties demand the formation of a transitional government and holding a roundtable conference with the participation of rebel groups to discuss a peaceful solution for the conflicts in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. The transitional government would organize general elections once a political agreement on constitutional matters is reached this inaugurating a new democratic regime. But the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) rejects this proposal saying that opposition parties must simply prepare for the 2015 elections and that rebels should first sign peace accords
