 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

UPDATE: EGYPT’S SISI, SUDAN’S BURHAN CALL FOR ACTIVATING JOINT DEFENSE PACT. (PHOTO).


 Egypt’s Sisi, Sudan’s Burhan call for activating joint defense pact


Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi and Sudan’s Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al Burhan have called for activating a joint defence agreement to confront regional challenges, according to the Sudanese Foreign Ministry.


This came as the war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues.


Burhan was on a one-day visit to Egypt and met with the Egyptian president on Thursday. Muawiya Osman Khaled, Sudan’s Foreign Ministry undersecretary, said the two leaders explored ways to strengthen and advance cooperation, according to Sudan’s state news agency.


Khaled said Burhan expressed appreciation for Egypt’s “firm and unwavering support for Sudan’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and Cairo’s unconditional stance against threats to Sudan’s national security.”


Boost economic coordination


He added that the two presidents directed state institutions in both countries to boost coordination on shared priorities, including water issues, security, trade, and economic cooperation, Anadolu Agency reported.


“In light of the challenges facing the region, the two presidents called for activating mechanisms of joint action, including the joint defense agreement,” Khaled said.


He added the leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to working with partners to help restore peace and stability in Sudan, ensure humanitarian aid delivery and open safe corridors for assistance.


Sudan and Egypt signed a joint defence agreement in 1976, though there has been no indication that it has been activated. The two countries have since concluded several military cooperation agreements, most recently in March 2021, aimed at safeguarding their shared national security.


Brutal war


Burhan’s visit came as intense fighting continues across Sudan’s three Kordofan states – North, West and South – where recent clashes between the army and the RSF have displaced tens of thousands of people.


Of Sudan’s 18 states, the RSF controls all five states of the Darfur region in the west, except for some northern parts of North Darfur that remain under army control. The army, in turn, holds most areas of the remaining 13 states in the south, north, east, and center, including the capital, Khartoum.


The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has since killed thousands of people and displaced millions of others.
