National Crisis

It also announced its efforts to form a broad national front to eliminate the coup and restore civil and democratic rule.
The head of the party signed a document which was not presented to the party institutions, and therefore this signature does not represent the institutions’ position,” the Ummah said.
The statement stressed that the declared position of the National Umma Party was clear, based on the road map the party had announced in December 2021, and approved by its institutions.
“We assure public opinion that the party supports all initiatives that call for achieving the goals of the revolution and will not be a party to any initiative that does not end the coup and restore civil rule,” the statement added.
