National Dialogue Process in Sudan

Enough published in December 2014 an analysis of the national dialogue process in Sudan titled "Starving War, Feeding Peace, and Setting the Table for National Dialogue in Sudan" by Akshaya Kumar and John Prendergast.   They conclude that the process at the moment is imbalanced, exclusive, and restrictive.  They suggest this could change if the Sudanese government decides to engage meaningfully and demonstrates its commitment by meeting six preconditions laid out by Enough. 

The six preconditions aimed at the National Congress Party (NCP) and the government of Sudan do beg the question:  are there no preconditions for those groups that oppose the NCP and the government?
