Draft Constitutional Charter for the Transitional Period
The Constitutional Charter agreed in August 2019 between the military and the Forces of Freedom and Change established a transitional order with a Sovereignty Council, a civilian cabinet and a planned legislative council, and committed to a permanent constitutional conference. It was amended in 2020 to incorporate the Juba Peace Agreement. The October 2021 coup dissolved the civilian arrangements, and the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces from April 2023 has made the question of the operative constitutional order unanswerable from open sources.
