Sudan factions form new alliance as splits deepen
The ceremony included political parties, the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Mini Minawi and the Justice and Equality Movement of Gibril Ibrahim. Several political factions including ex-rebel groups have announced the formation of an alliance separate from Sudan’s main civilian bloc, in the latest sign of splits marring the country’s transition. Saturday’s ceremony included political parties as well as the Sudan Liberation Movement faction led by Mini Minawi and the Justice and Equality Movement of Gibril Ibrahim. In October last year, Minawi’s SLM faction and Ibrahim’s JEM were among rebel groups that signed a peace deal with the government to end long-running conflicts under al-Bashir.
