Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo’s appointment as president of Sudan under the TASIS government has gained broad confidence, signalling a decisive shift in the nation’s political struggle.
Professor Hasab Al-Nabi Mahmoud, head of the Sudan Liberation Democratic Movement, in an interview defended Dagalo’s leadership within the Foundation Alliance.
He said the unanimous decision to appoint Dagalo and Abdelaziz Al-Hilu as deputy reflected trust in their ability to liberate Sudan.
Mahmoud described the coalition, known locally as “TASIS,” not as a fleeting bloc, but a historic project safeguarding Sudan’s unity and citizenship.
“The collapse of this alliance would mean the disintegration of Sudan into mini-states,” he warned, underscoring its national significance.
Formed after eight months of deliberation, the alliance now works to consolidate security, stability, and international legitimacy against rivals based in Port Sudan.
Mahmoud rejected fears that “Foundation” would mirror failed alliances of the past, insisting it prioritises national survival over partisan divisions and wealth distribution.
He acknowledged disagreements with groups such as the Steadfastness Alliance, but framed them as differences in approach rather than fundamental goals.
The door, he said, remains open to civilian and military factions willing to embrace democracy, secular principles, and Sudan’s revolutionary objectives.
On peace, Mahmoud argued justice must precede reconciliation, warning that settlements without accountability for crimes would collapse, as seen in previous Sudanese accords.
His message to Sudanese citizens was clear: reject hate speech, resist Islamist influence, and believe in the dawn of a reborn state.
“The liberation of the country is coming, and a state that does not discriminate among its peoples has finally been born,” he said.
