Bakri Al Jak: The Constitutional Declaration is reduced to being a tool in Al Burhan’s hands

Bakri Al-Jak, the spokesperson for the Civil Democratic Alliance of the Revolutionary Forces in Sudan (Sumoud), stated that the appointment of a Prime Minister in Sudan lacks any constitutional or legal foundation, asserting that the Constitutional Declaration has become a mere “tool” in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan following the October 2021 Coup.

In an interview with (Erem News), Al-Jak shared that this particular step represents an attempt to delude the international community into believing that a political transition is taking place, whilst in reality, an escalation in the intensity of the conflict can be observed on the field, compound with severe societal division.

The spokesperson for (Sumoud) pointed out that the original Constitutional Document, which governed the transitional period, expired (39 months) following the date of its signing. He noted that the amendments introduced by Al-Burhan to the document reduced the Prime Minister’s powers to that of a mere “Executive Secretariat” with no real authority over resources or the management of the country’s affairs.

Furthermore, from a political point of view, Al-Jak explained that this particular development is primarily aimed at improving the regime’s image before the African Union (AU) and regional countries, in an attempt to restore Sudan’s suspended membership. He warned that this “political charade” will not contribute to ending the ongoing war or improving the conditions of citizens, emphasizing that the real solution begins with ending the conflict and launching a comprehensive national dialogue.
