Why is the Beja Council divided?
Last June, the head of the Beja Council, al-Nazer Muhammad al-Amin, announced his resignation from the presidency of the council and the freezing of his activities after accusing some members of his leadership office of trying to hijack the council and to speak in its name without authorization.

The council’s rapporteur and its spokesman, Abdullah Obshar, had implicitly accused the head of the Sovereign Council, Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), who is charged with supervising the east of the country, of distributing cars to leaders in the council to control it, and of continuing to freeze the Juba Agreement (the eastern path), and of not agreeing to a new forum for eastern issues. Sudan.

This dispute led to the split of the Beja Council, which re-elected Turk as its president, and another party held a conference that chose Ibrahim Adrob as president as well.

Ahmed Musa, lawyer and legal advisor to the Beja Optical Council headed by Muhammad Al-Amin Turk, says that the statement issued by the Political Committee represents the dissenting current from Al-Nazir Turk.

Moussa explains in an interview with Al Jazeera Net that Turk had set the end of next December as the last deadline for the federal government to create a special platform to solve the problem of eastern Sudan or decide the fate of the region, but he took another position after joining last week to a new alliance in the name of the Forces of Freedom and Change - the Democratic bloc, which It includes the Democratic Unionist Party led by Muhammad Othman al-Mirghani and the armed movements in Darfur.

The coalition adopted a position calling for the amendment of the constitutional document for 2019, and the amendment sti[CENSORED]ted that the new prime minister hold a platform for eastern Sudan 30 days after assuming his duties.

Lawyer Ahmed Musa says that the second current believes that the current settlement efforts to resolve the Sudanese crisis ignore eastern Sudan, and wants to send a message to those who lead the settlement from the International Quartet (the United States, Britain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE), and the African Tripartite Commission that sponsors dialogue between the parties to the crisis in Sudan. Sudan.

What is the fate of the eastern Sudan track in the Juba Agreement?
Ibrahim Dirar, who is interested in issues in eastern Sudan, believes that the eastern path has died and is difficult to implement, and that the situation in the country has overtaken it. He believes that this path is a victim of conflicts and competition between social and tribal components in the eastern region. Which lost political and economic gains sti[CENSORED]ted in the agreement.

Dirar told Al Jazeera Net that the tribal leaders of eastern Sudan had convictions that the region had lost a lot due to the differences among them, and that the region's marginalization would continue if they did not unite and put pressure on Khartoum.

The Eastern Sudan Track Agreement was signed on October 3, 2020 between the government, the Po[CENSORED]r Front and the Beja Congress.

It sti[CENSORED]ted the implementation of development programs in the region, and set percentages for the participation of the East in the central government and the three states that make up eastern Sudan; They are the Red Sea, Kassala and Gedaref.

However, the agreement faced the opposition of tribal leaders in the region, led by the Hadandawa tribe, which formed with other tribes the "Supreme Council of Beja Eyes." The council adopted a campaign to cancel the track on the pretext that it does not represent the people of the region and their interests.

And between the last September 17 and October 27, the council implemented a comprehensive closure of the ports on the Red Sea coast, land roads, the airport and the railway, and the closure was lifted after the army seized power following the “coup” carried out by the army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan.
