MPs back proposed rules on dress code
A section of Members of Parliament (MPs), including Michael Mawanda of Igara East, have expressed support for proposed stricter rules regarding MPs’ attire during parliamentary sittings. This follows proposed amendments to the MPs’ rules of procedure and dress code by the Committee on Rules, Privileges, and Discipline. The committee’s report, presented to Parliament by its chairperson, Abdul Katuntu, proposes banning traditional attire like the gomesi and kanzu, which some MPs have reportedly used to conceal inappropriate dress. The committee also noted that it is inappropriate for MPs representing the armed forces to wear combat uniforms during parliamentary proceedings, as this attire evokes a battlefield setting.

The Guardian view on Sudan’s war: borders can’t contain a devastating, destabilising crisis | Editorial
The rest of the world has largely ignored the horror of this conflict, but will find its effects ripple outwardsAs Sudan approaches its third year of civil war, the dynamics are suddenly shifting. Sudan’s military, which launched a major offensive against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in September, made swift progress in Gezira state, and in recent days has abruptly and unexpectedly regained ground in Khartoum.Whether it has truly turned the tide – as key backers appear to believe – has yet to be seen. Even if the capital can be fully retaken and secured, reconstructing the devastated city would be an immense task. The RSF might well entrench themselves elsewhere; this may further spur their ferocity in the western region of Darfur. Meaningful negotiations between the warring parties look even more distant. There is still less prospect of a return to civilian politics, overthrown in a coup by the partnership of the army chief, Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF leader, Lt Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo – known as Hemedti – before they turned on each other.
