Future Building and Restoration of Rights
(Hope and Change)
The Sudan National Alliance (SNA) presents its electoral program (Future Program and Restoration of Rights) under the slogan of (Hope and Change). It is a democratic program for change attempts to find radical solutions for national problems and threats through adaptation of scientific approaches to address the demerits of policies in various sectors. On the top of these are the demerits of development policies that result in persistent imbalanced socio-economic development. Our electoral program includes restoration of citizenship rights and provision of basic social services in order to reverse the deteriorating social and livelihoods situation of the Sudanese citizen. This electoral program stands on two fundamental pillars: The public issues and restoration of rights.
Public Issues:
Peace Agreements:
Implementation of the entire provisions of peace agreements: the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the East Sudan Peace Agreement (ESPA), Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) and Cairo Agreement. This mission can only be accomplished by a government committed to democratic transformation to free these agreements from political haggling and narrow political interests to broad national aggregate interests.
Cause of Darfur:
Settlement of Darfur crisis is connected to resolution of the crisis of the whole country. This requires addressing its historical roots, regional dimensions and environmental impacts away from partial solutions and political parties’ initiatives that led to defragmentation of the social fabric of Darfur. The keys for restoration peace and stability in Darfur include adherence to immediate cease-fire, responding to the fair demands of people of Darfur in regards to power and wealth sharing, prosecution of war criminals, repatriation of internally displaced people and refugees and compensation of affected populations.
Elimination of the impacts of war: Elimination of war impacts in all war-affected areas comes on the top of SNA’s national agenda. Rehabilitation of these areas will depend on design and endorsement of comprehensive development programmes including rehabilitation of the basic infrastructures such as roads and social services (Security, clean drinking water, health and education); improvement of livelihoods; careful tackling of displaced and refugees issues and execution of voluntary disarmament programme of combatants of all parties and reintegrating them into the civil society.
Democratic Transformation:
SNA will collaborate with other democratic forces to promote the democratic transformation. This process includes ending state of emergency all over the country, reform of all existing laws and cancelling all laws that contravene basic freedoms, such as freedom of expression, organization and press, in order to ensure its conformity with international conventions and treaties that ratified by Sudan. The democratization process also includes development of new laws and policies for promotion of justice and conduction of free and fair elections and all forms of political practice.
Culture of Peace and Peaceful Coexistence:
Culture of peace is central to democratic transformation. It is built on tolerance and abandoning of violence and pursuance of dialogue for resolving disputes and conflicts. Culture of peace should be promoted through adaptation of realistic plans that participatory implemented. Such plans include fostering culture of peace, peaceful religious coexistence, forgiveness and tolerance, and awareness-raising through incorporation of culture of peace in the curricula of different phases of education and mass media.
Impartiality of Public Institutions:
SNA undertakes to transform and free the public institutions from dependency to and influence of the governing political party to autonomous institutions that serve the citizens equally. This includes reform of the judiciary to be more autonomous and neutral, national civil service and military forces and other official forces besides the national security and intelligence.
Defense Strategy:
The SNA defense strategy based on establishment of an integrated defense function made up of national modern military force, suitable for Sudan defense requirements and organically linked to the constitution and subsequent laws. The main role of the defense force is to guard the country and the constitution and the democratic regime.

Youth sponsorship:
Youth segment/section in the Sudanese society is the back-bone of future investment and the mechanism of building & development in the Sudan. Eventually youth issues should be considered as a national issue, which requires collaborative efforts of political forces, organizations of civil society and independent democratic youth associations. Therefore, the state should initiate the related policies and provide means of youth sponsorship in a way that guarantees democracy & independence of related youth associations
SNA visions that plans of youth sponsorship & developing their capabilities should comprise extension of establishing youth sponsorship centers in urban & rural areas. Moreover, sufficient budget allocations at federal & estate levels should be considered to provide means & mechanisms of development, specifically logistics of culture, sports & information technology.
Issues of Sudanese working abroad (immigrants):
Sudanese working abroad represent vital & influential force in terms of the economy as well as the society. In addition to their economic role at the levels of the extended family & the country, they represent a real wealth of scientific & expertise skills as well as important channels of communication with the countries & societies in which they live. Eventually they should not only be considered as a source of tax collection, but the state (together with their contribution) should initiate appropriate policies & establish infrastructural elements that achieve their sponsorship, enhance their positioning in where they live, strengthen their relationship with their country and incentivizing them to significantly participate in sustainable development .

Endorsement of policies for forestry rational usage that consider sustainability through systematic replanting and expansion, particularly, around the agricultural schemes.
b. Importance of rationalization of energy consumption and utilization of alternatives such as organic and petroleum gas. Encourage use of improved stoves that consume less charcoal this will lead to saving fire-wood and, in turn, to conservation of natural parks.
c. Planning for maintaining a balance between population growth and healthy water supply and treatment of hard and soft wastes e.g. use of drainage water for irrigation of trees and cultivation of fodder. This is to reduce the burden on the clean water reduce pollution. This process includes screening and recycling of hard wastes.
d. Protection of fisheries from illegal fishing and resolving the problem of the wild water grasses, and removing the negative impacts of the dams on the fisheries. The SNA programme also includes conducting studies on the oil pollution at Red Sea coast on the environment.
Civil Society Organizations:
The CSOs constitute a principal pillar of building a civil State, therefore, the government must ensures them the freedom of work and independence without restrictions. In accordance with the UN and HAC’s reports the Sudan is disasters area and classified as the greatest displacement country.
The SNA believes that the government should provide utmost support to all humanitarian organizations and lift from them all bureaucratic and security restrictions that hinder their work. The SNA will stand and remain supportive to freedom of CSOs and its full independence.
We present this electoral programme, at this critical time of our history, to the masses of our people and the good forces, hopefully, the democratic forces will collaborate in a broad government and play a positive role to dismantle the existing totalitarian regime. Then open up to the world and support friendship and cooperation between countries after a long cut off of relationships with the world and our neighbors. By such a coalition we can take care of our people in the urban and marginalized areas and protect the dignity of the Sudanese citizen and strengthening the peaceful coexistence in order to bypass the grievances of wars. Thus we can play a unique role in the world as a diversified united nation and promote cooperation of mankind in the era of alliances and coalitions.
