The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has criticised preparations for a Berlin conference aimed at tackling Sudan’s worsening political and humanitarian crisis.
In a statement, the alliance said it supports genuine international efforts to end the war and achieve a just and lasting peace.
However, it warned that the current arrangements risk undermining the credibility, inclusiveness and seriousness of any meaningful political process.
The group took issue with the inclusion of factions it says backed both the April 15 war and the 2021 military coup.
It said their participation raises concerns about the integrity of efforts to restore civilian and democratic rule.
The alliance also objected to the involvement of figures it described as lacking real political support or acting as fronts for Islamist networks.
It warned that such participation could dilute civilian voices and weaken the conference’s legitimacy from within.
According to the statement, engaging those linked to the war would fail to address the deeper structural causes of Sudan’s recurring conflicts.
Instead, it cautioned, this approach could prolong the violence and further complicate the crisis.
The alliance stressed that any viable solution must follow a roadmap set out in an international statement issued in September 2025.
It reiterated the view that Islamist actors should not be part of Sudan’s future political arrangements.
The statement also called for dismantling entrenched power structures and ensuring accountability for figures tied to past governance failures.
It outlined a vision for a new Sudan built on institutions rooted in justice, equality and broad representation.
Despite its concerns, the alliance said it remains ready to engage in credible peace efforts guided by transparency and the will of the people.
It ended with a call for a comprehensive solution that brings the war to an end and sets Sudan on a path towards stability and inclusion.
