Hamdok, Hilu, and Al-Nur sign declaration including self-determination clause
[SUDANTRIBUNE] In a landmark declaration to resolve Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s ongoing conflict, former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, Abdel Aziz al-Hilu of the SPLM-N, and Abdel Wahid Mohammed Nur of the Sudan Liberation Movement committed to a path emphasizing secularism, state-religion separation, and the right to self-determination.

Hamdok signed the declaration in his personal capacity, while al-Hilu and al-Nour represented their respective movements. Although Hamdok also leads the anti-war civilian coalition "Tagaddum," the coalition did not formally endorse the agreement.

the signatories agreed to work together towards addressing Sudan’s multifaceted crises through a comprehensive process based on the unity of its people and land, with voluntary unity as a core principle.

Signed in the presence of Kenyan President William Ruto, the declaration notably includes a provision for the Sudanese people to exercise self-determination if the declaration’s principles are not incorporated into the permanent constitution.

The declaration advocated for a secular, non-partisan state, equidistant from religions, cultures, and identities. It also argued for a civil state ensuring equal power and wealth for all Sudanese, and guaranteeing freedom of religion and thought.

On March 28, 2021, the Chairman of the Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and al-Hilu signed an agreement aiming to separate religion from the state and form a single army by the end of the transitional period. However,

subsequent negotiations failed to resolve the extent of this separation, and the discussions were suspended after the October 25, 2021, coup.
