Sudan’s Dismantling and Empowerment Removal Committee (DERC) has announced the resumption of its operations, in a move that coincides with Washington’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan as a terrorist organisation.
The development signals what observers describe as the start of a new political phase, where growing international pressure aligns with long-standing domestic demands to dismantle networks linked to the former regime.
In a statement, the committee said it holds detailed records of key figures within the Islamic Movement, as well as extensive data on affiliated financial networks and economic assets. It added that it is prepared to cooperate with regional and international partners to trace and recover funds “wherever they may be.”
DERC framed its renewed mandate as central to ending Sudan’s conflict, arguing that dismantling the entrenched structures of the former regime is a prerequisite for resolving the war that erupted in April 2023, which it blames on remnants of the previous власти.
Legal and diplomatic sources expect a new wave of measures in the coming months, including potential international arrest warrants and expanded sanctions targeting political and military figures linked to Islamist networks.
During its previous tenure between 2019 and 2021, the committee oversaw the seizure of hundreds of companies and properties tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, and uncovered a vast corruption network believed to have cost the state billions of dollars.
