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.[9] The FFC continued coordinating protest actions, and in July 2019, negotiated a power-sharing plan with the Transitional Military Council (TMC) for a transition to return to democracy.[1][2] The agreement was signed on 17 July 2019.[3]
