Nyala to New York: TASIS sets sights on recognition

The Sudan Founding Alliance’s “Government of Peace and Unity” (TASIS) moved to convert last week’s oath-taking in Nyala into diplomatic momentum, launching an external recognition drive and formalizing its foreign representation, while a rare statement from Sudan’s Republican Party welcomed the new authority but warned against missteps.

Sudanese media reported today that TASIS plans outreach to neighbors including Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia as a first corridor for international engagement.

The push follows Decision No. 1/2025 by Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi appointing Dr. Goni Mustafa Abu Bakr Sharif as TASIS’s “permanent representative” to the UN—an appointment the official Sudan mission in New York immediately rejected.

The recognition campaign comes alongside consolidation at home: TASIS convened its first presidential-council session in Nyala one day after the oath ceremony, with Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) chairing and Deputy Abdelaziz al-Hilu present, setting out humanitarian and service-delivery priorities in areas under their control.

As background, the independent outlet Medameek noted earlier this week that al-Ta’aishi’s office grounded the UN envoy decree in provisions of TASIS’s 2025 interim charter—signaling an intent to build civilian institutional scaffolding even before any foreign recognition.

In a same-day intervention, the Republican Party publicly “welcomed” TASIS as a response to long-marginalized communities’ aspirations, but set red lines: avoid fueling ethnic fractures, keep national unity paramount, and prioritize ending the war over rivalry with the Port Sudan junta.

The party’s statement framed TASIS’s stated platform—unity, peace, justice, anti-corruption and anti-extremism—as a necessary counter to what it called the wartime, exclusionary posture of the SAF-aligned administration.
