The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) welcomed the United States’ decision to designate the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan as a terrorist organization, describing the move as an important step aligned with the aspirations of the Sudanese people.
In a statement issued on Monday, the alliance said the designation reflects the demands voiced during the December 2018 uprising, when mass protests called for the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood–linked regime that had ruled Sudan for decades.
TASIS said the decision acknowledges the struggle of Sudanese citizens who took to the streets during the revolution demanding freedom, peace, and justice, and accused the Muslim Brotherhood of attempting to undermine the popular movement and obstruct the country’s transition.
The alliance also claimed that the Islamist movement and its former ruling structures played a role in igniting the current conflict, accusing them of launching a war against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which it said aligned with the goals of the revolution.
According to the statement, revolutionary groups later united under the umbrella of the Sudan Founding Alliance in an effort to confront what it described as the Muslim Brotherhood’s political project and to prevent further damage to Sudan’s state institutions and society.
TASIS described the US decision as both a moral and political victory for Sudanese citizens who opposed the former regime and its security apparatus following the 1989 military coup that brought Islamists to power.
The alliance said the designation also recognizes the sacrifices of those killed, displaced, or injured during years of conflict and political upheaval.
“TASIS will continue on the path of struggle pledged to the martyrs until achieving the Sudan that its people have dreamed of since independence in 1956 — a Sudan built on freedom, justice, and peace,” the statement said.here
