Ummah to participate in ruling party meetings

The Ummah party has decided to participate in meetings of the opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Asmara through its membership in the domestic NDA, a senior official of the party was Monday quoted by a Khartoum newspaper as saying. News reports said Ummah Party Vice-Chairman Umar Nur al-Da’im had decided it would be represented in a 21-member delegation of the domestic NDA that would proceed on Wednesday to seek to take part in the NDA general conference to be held in the Eritrean capital next Friday. The Ummah party withdrew the opposition NDA based in Cairo last March, but retained its membership in the NDA branch which includes all other opposition parties and operates within Sudan.
