Our focus on the individual compels us, from the outset, to involve them in governing themselves through every possible means and to enable them to serve both themselves and their community in all capacities - legislative, executive, and judicial. This is achieved by promoting self-governance and cooperative systems.
Given that Sudan is a vast and underdeveloped country, its administration from a single centralized authority is impractical. Moreover, centralization deprives individuals of opportunities for liberation, advancement, and progress by serving themselves and their communities. Therefore, we propose dividing Sudan into five states:
1. The Central State
2. The Northern State
3. The Eastern State
4. The Western State
5. The Southern State
Each of these five states will then be subdivided into two districts. Each state will be granted self-governance, the extent of which will depend on its level of development and its capacity to practice it. From the very beginning, the central government must assist each state in becoming fully capable of exercising complete self-governance as soon as possible. The central government should also progressively grant each state more authority in line with its readiness.
Self-governance in each state will be based on a fundamental structure of village councils, city councils, district councils, and state councils, culminating in a central government. The central government will oversee, strengthen, and coordinate the union of the five states under the rule of law to ensure security and prosperity across the entire nation.
Except in cases of necessity, the state government should not interfere in the affairs of the districts, nor should the district government interfere in the affairs of the cities, nor the city government in the affairs of the villages. Similarly, the central government should not interfere in the affairs of the states, which must exercise all the powers granted to them under their level of self-governance, except when guidance or assistance is necessary, so that when issues arise that go beyond the jurisdiction of a single government, a shared system can be established to address them. For example, education falls under the legislation of each state, but the central government should support the states through coordination, guidance, and financial grants. Education is a matter of national interest, as it concerns both the nation as a whole and each state individually. The same principle applies to health, organization, and the enhancement of people’s lives in all aspects.
The structure of each government, starting from village councils upward, will follow a democratic system, culminating in a central government at the top. This system will consist of a written constitution, a legislative body, an executive body, and a judicial body. The purpose of this structure is to to educate the people democratically, soundly and uniformly across all their educational levels and social environment.
