Quote: CHAPTER 5. THE EXERCISE OF POWER 11. Power sharing is vital for national unity. Separation of the legislative, executive and judicial powers shall consolidate good governance, accountability, transparency and commitment to the welfare of the people. The rule of law shall prevail and the independence of the judiciary shall be guaranteed. The Constitutional Court shall have the competence to decide any disputes between levels or organs of government in respect of their exclusive, concurrent, or residual competences. 12. The peaceful transfer of power on the basis of free and fair elections shall be the foundation for a democratic government in Darfur. Elections at all levels shall be based on free and direct voting, observed by neutral/international observers, with a view to ensuring fair participation of all Darfurians. 13. A peaceful devolution of powers through democratic means is a guarantor for stability and unity of the country. A federal system of government, with an effective devolution of powers and a clear distribution of responsibilities between the centre, the Region [the States] and the local government is essential to ensure fair and equitable participation by the citizens of the Sudan in general, and those of Darfur in particular.
