The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has declared its readiness to engage in dialogue with the U.S. administration and Congress over the war in Sudan, warning that the continued dominance of the Islamist movement over political and military decision-making remains the main obstacle to peace and democratic transition.
In a statement issued Saturday following discussions surrounding a report by the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, TASIS said it was prepared to cooperate with Washington and hold open talks with American political institutions regarding developments in Sudan, the humanitarian consequences of the conflict, and its broader implications for regional peace and stability.
The alliance said lasting peace and a transition toward civilian democratic rule would only be possible through a comprehensive political settlement ending the war, arguing that such an outcome remains impossible while “the Islamic Movement continues to control political and military decision-making within the Islamist government front in Port Sudan.”
TASIS accused the Islamist movement of returning to power through the war after being removed by Sudan’s December 2018 revolution, alleging that its networks continue to dominate state institutions, diplomacy, and military command structures.
According to the statement, Islamist cadres maintain influence over civil service institutions, diplomatic missions, military operations rooms, armed formations, and strategic weapons systems, while also shaping public narratives through media platforms and “misleading information campaigns” aimed at concealing responsibility for the conflict.
The alliance further warned that continued control by the Muslim Brotherhood-linked movement over Sudan’s future would eliminate prospects for peace and stability both inside Sudan and across the wider region.
TASIS said past experience under the former “Inqaz” government demonstrated what it described as the movement’s rejection of peace initiatives and reliance on war as a tool for maintaining power and influence.
The alliance also criticized what it called the foreign ministry apparatus of the Port Sudan authorities, accusing it of selectively interpreting debates and reports emerging from Washington in order to present “misleading narratives” to international audiences.
“The Port Sudan foreign ministry is merely the external face of the Muslim Brotherhood organization in Sudan,” the statement said, arguing that its diplomatic activities and political messaging are designed to rehabilitate and market the Islamist agenda internationally.
