Sudan’s government has reached an agreement with a rebel leader laying out conditions for his faction to recognize the peace deal signed with rebel groups earlier this week.


Making Sudan a secular state is the core focus of the agreement signed by Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and Abdul Aziz Alhilu, leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N), on Thursday.

It said that Sudan’s constitution should be based on the principle of separation of religion and state and be geared towards ending discrimination in the country.
“Sudan is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural society. Full recognition and accommodation of these diversities must be affirmed,” reads the declaration document seen by Anadolu Agency.
