support, strategic partnerships, rights empowerment, capacity building, research and advocacy. 1.3 A Brief Background The year 2020 was associated with many challenges for the transitional government in Sudan. This is mainly because the government’s jurisdiction was deeply intertwined with the former regime. For instance, there was noncompliance within NISS’ operations department in Khartoum. Also, the presence of PDF and SAF in conflict areas and the dominance of RSF in Sudan’s political life did not change even after the fall of the former regime. There is low visibility of the transitional government especially in Khartoum. The way of life in other parts of Sudan is not any different from how it was with the former regime mainly with human rights situation. For instance the “state of emergency” declared by the former president (Al-Bashir) is still on in the states/ regions under conflict and the violations are still going on mainly committed by RSF, SAF and other government militias like PDF. The government did not fully attend to the security status in the conflict areas which has given the ground for more violations to be committed. This happened regardless of the fact that; the peace agreement which was signed by most of the armed groups had a representation that expected to share on the executive and legislative government bodies though the two main armed groups were not included in the process. The cease fire announcements and extensions were made between the Sudan government and the armed groups that had not signed the peace agreement. There was also a remarkable visit of the Sudanese prime minister to the territory of SPLA-N. Also there was peace framework agreement was signed in Addis Ababa by the prime minster and the leader of SPLA-N Mr. Abdelaziz Elhelu, this was positively supported by the cabinet/ civil but not the military component within Sudan government1. 1 It has been shown through the contradiction statements from the ministers’ cabinet who had fully supported the signed memorandum while the military component within the sovereign council narrated negatively towards it. 2
