The head of Sudan’s opposition party Reform Now Movement (RNM), Ghazi Salah al-Din al-Attabani, has considered that the dependence y on the military option to solve the country’s problems is a big mistake, warning that the military option in any domestic problem would mean civil war
In statements to Khartoum-based Al-Rai Al-A’am newspaper on Wednesday, al-Attabani called for the political solution and dialogue as a language to overcome differences, explaining that military option without any clear political perspective could lead to damage to the ruins.
In statements three days ago, the former NCP official who was president Omer Hassan al-Bashir’s adviser stressed that the NCP cannot pretend that “there are no problems or that we are progressing, and we are gaining new grounds and succeeding ...This is self-deception".
He scoffed at the government’s insistence that national dialogue cannot take place abroad calling it "an attempt to register fake positions,".
Al-Attabani was the head of the NCP parliamentary bloc but fell out with the party after he declared that Bashir is constitutionally barred from running again for presidency.
RNM was established as an offshoot from the NCP in late 2013 after a memorandum submitted by prominent NCP leaders protesting the killing of dozens of protesters in the September 2013 demonstrations against lifting fuel subsidies.
