El-Mahdi rejects political multiplicity law in Sudan

Former Sudanese prime minister and chief of opposition Ummah party El-Sadek El-Mahdi said he opposes the law for political multiplicity ratified by the Sudanese parliament on Tuesday.

He also opposed discussing the law, which permits the formation of parties, yet he confirmed the existence of communications between the government and the opposition aboard, showing his approval for such a discussion to reach a solution to Sudan's problems.

In statements to the Sudanese newspaper Akhbar al-Yowm, El-Mahdi said that no one refuses a peaceful solution or mediation to reach a peaceful solution to Sudanese political conflicts.
