The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) denied allegations that its forces committed violations against civilians in El Fashir, Bara and other recently liberated areas, and said it will form inquiry committees to verify footage and claims circulating on social media.
In a statement released Tuesday, TASIS said many of the videos attributing abuses to its fighters were produced by media linked to the Islamic Movement (Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood), by allied mercenaries and by other hostile actors, and that closer inspection would reveal signs of fabrication.
TASIS reiterated its longstanding condemnation of any violations and said its military and political leadership are working to halt abuses. The alliance added that its forces had evacuated nearly 800,000 civilians from El Fashir to safer areas during operations, arguing this record made claims that they would attack civilians after “liberating” the city implausible.
The statement also accused opponents of pursuing a narrative of ethnic conflict and said efforts to cast the war in sectarian terms had failed. TASIS framed the campaign as aimed at uprooting the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and the dissolved National Congress Party (NCP), and said it remained open to a peace that preserved Sudan’s unity, dignity and freedoms on new civilian foundations.
“Those who chose false neutrality will seek to justify their positions with such allegations,” the statement said, adding that the alliance would continue its campaign until it achieved its stated goals. The release was signed by Dr. Alaaeldin Awad Nugud, TASIS official spokesperson.
