TASIS: April 15 war marks ‘betrayal’ of Sudan revolution

The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has marked the third anniversary of the April 15 war by accusing forces aligned with General al-Burhan’s SAF of “betraying Sudan, its people, and its revolution,” while reaffirming its commitment to continue the fight.

In a statement issued Wednesday, TASIS described the conflict as the culmination of years of “treachery” by what it called the “terrorist Muslim Brotherhood and its criminal army,” blaming them for derailing Sudan’s democratic transition and igniting the war in 2023.

The alliance said the anniversary represents “three years of loss, displacement and suffering,” but insisted that revolutionary forces remain steadfast.

“For three years, we have not tasted defeat, nor have we lost hope,” the statement said. “We did not start this war, but we are compelled to fight in defense of our land, our people, and our nation.”

TASIS framed the conflict as a continuation of the December Revolution, accusing Sudan’s military leadership of hijacking state institutions and suppressing democratic aspirations, including through the October 2021 coup and the violent dispersal of protest sit-ins.

The group also pointed to April 15, 2023, as a decisive turning point, alleging that military airstrikes in Karari killed thousands of civilians and marked the collapse of the revolution’s peaceful phase.

“Sudan’s history is being rewritten with the blood of martyrs,” the statement said.

Despite the rhetoric, TASIS said it remains open to a political resolution, pledging that its “hands will always remain extended for peace” — but emphasized that any settlement must be comprehensive and sustainable.

The alliance reiterated its vision of a “new Sudan” rooted in the goals of the 2018–2019 uprising, while honoring those killed and wounded during the conflict.

“The revolution continues,” the statement concluded.
