Title: Delay in Signing Political Agreement in Sudan Due to These Reasons

The signing of a final political agreement has been postponed due to a lack of "consensus on some outstanding issues," as confirmed by the official spokesman for the political process in Sudan in a statement today, Saturday. The agreement was scheduled to be signed this month, with a new transition towards elections poised to begin today. Disagreements emerged this week regarding the timeline for integrating the Rapid Support Forces into the army, a step called for in a framework agreement signed in December. The implementation of the agreement has been slow, and waves of fighting have caused significant civilian deaths and displacement.
