The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) formally inaugurated its civilian government in Nyala, South Darfur, where Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) was sworn in as Chairman of the Presidential Council, alongside Vice President Abdelaziz Adam al-Hilu and Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi.
The oath-taking ceremony, held before Chief Justice Ramadan Ibrahim Shamila, marked the official launch of TASIS’s transitional governance structures, months after the alliance was formed in Nairobi by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudanese political factions, and armed movements. The coalition had signed a political charter and transitional constitution laying the groundwork for a decentralized system of rule.
The 15-member Presidential Council, which includes eight regional governors, convened immediately after the ceremony to discuss priorities for the founding phase. According to Vice President al-Hilu, discussions focused on a roadmap for the council’s work, strategies to complete governance institutions, and measures to tackle Sudan’s pressing political and economic crises.
Al-Ta’aishi, a former Sovereignty Council member, was confirmed as Prime Minister in a decree issued by Dagalo prior to the ceremony. He will be tasked with overseeing the daily functions of the Peace Government.
While the alliance says its project aims to end war and establish sustainable peace, the formation of a civilian government in RSF-controlled territories has been rejected by the African Union and the UN Security Council. Observers warn the development highlights deepening fractures in Sudan’s political landscape.
