The Sudan Founding Alliance has taken new steps in its push to build what it calls a ‘New Sudan’.
This follows the swearing-in ceremony of the Presidential Council head Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo in Nyala on August 30.
Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan al-Taayshi of the RSF announced fresh appointments in line with the Transitional Constitution of 2025.
In the new appointments, Ammar Amon Daldoum will serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
Suleiman Sandal Hagar takes the post of Minister of Interior, while Alaa al-Din Awad Mohamed becomes Minister of Health.
Earlier, Dr. Qoni Mustafa Abu Bakr Sharif was named Sudan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
The Transitional Constitution of 2025 replaced the 2019 Constitutional Charter and earlier decrees. It seeks to create a secular and democratic state that is decentralized and inclusive.
The new government says it will prioritise equal citizenship, pluralism, and fair representation for all regions.
It also promises to uphold freedoms, protect human rights, ensure judicial independence, empower women, and criminalize extremism and military coups.
In his address to the nation, al-Taayshi said the government’s immediate focus is on displaced persons and refugees.
He highlighted urgent needs in security, food, water, electricity, health, education, official documentation, and communications.
He said Sudan’s natural resources in agriculture, livestock, and minerals would support both emergency and long-term plans.
On the battlefield, the Founding Alliance forces continue to advance in Darfur.
They recently pushed into El-Fasher, defeating the army’s Sixth Infantry Division and allied militias.
These developments have deepened divisions within the Port Sudan camp.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shams al-Din Kabbashi announced plans to retake El-Fasher, but Sudan Liberation Movement leader Minni Arko Minnawi rejected the move.
The split highlights ongoing discord among forces opposed to the Founding Alliance since the war began in April 2023.
Sudan has been locked in devastating conflict since April 15, 2023.
It began when the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) turned against the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
The RSF attempted to seize key locations in the capital, Khartoum, sparking a brutal struggle for power. The fighting quickly spread through Khartoum, Darfur, Sennar, and other regions.
Over 12 million people have been displaced internally and more than 3 million have fled abroad.
Famine has been officially declared in parts of the country.
Cholera, malnutrition, and disease are spreading fast. Schools, roads, clinics—much of the country’s infrastructure has crumbled.
