Forces of Freedom and Change

The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC,[1] also Alliance for Freedom and Change, or AFC,[2] and Declaration of Freedom and Change, or DFC;[3] Arabic: قوى إعلان الحرية والتغيير)[4] is a wide political coalition of civilian and rebel coalitions of Sudanese groups, including the Sudanese Professionals Association, No to Oppression against Women Initiative, MANSAM, the Sudan Revolutionary Front, the National Consensus Forces, Sudan Call, the Unionist Gathering,[5][6] and the Sudanese resistance committees,[7] created in January 2019 during the 2018–19 Sudanese protests.

[6] The FFC drafted a "Declaration of Freedom and Change"[8] and "Freedom and Change Charter" which called for president Omar al-Bashir to be removed from power, which occurred after several more months of protest in the April 2019 Sudanese coup d'état.

[3] The 2018–19 Sudanese protests had already lasted several weeks when a wide array of civilian and rebel coalitions of Sudanese groups, including the Sudanese Professionals Association, No to Oppression against Women Initiative, MANSAM, the Sudan Revolutionary Front, the National Consensus Forces, Sudan Call, the Unionist Gathering,[5][6] and the Sudanese resistance committees,[7] drafted and signed a "Declaration of Freedom and Change"[8] and "Freedom and Change Charter" in which they called for president Omar al-Bashir to be removed from power.

In April 2019, military forces rebelled against al-Bashir and arrested him in the 2019 Sudanese coup d'état.

[13] As of April 2023[update], the FFC had split into the FFC-CC (Central Council) versus the FFC-DB (Democratic Block).
