A senior delegation from the Sudan Founding Alliance, known as TASIS, held talks in Nairobi with Norwegian diplomats as part of continuing discussions on the war in Sudan and international efforts to support a political settlement.
The meeting brought together Ammar Amoun, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in the TASIS-linked Peace Government, and Johan Anton, head of Norway’s mission to Sudan. Anton was accompanied by his deputy, Marti Lea.
The talks followed previous meetings between the two sides, which TASIS officials said had helped shift Norway’s understanding of the Sudanese crisis. Norway is a member of the Troika alongside the United States and the United Kingdom, and remains an influential European actor in Sudan-related diplomacy.
According to TASIS News, one outcome of earlier contacts was an official Norwegian invitation for a TASIS delegation to visit Oslo.
The Nairobi meeting focused on several issues, including Norway’s humanitarian support for Sudanese internally displaced people through United Nations agencies and other international organisations.
The two sides also discussed the Quintet Initiative and the role of the European Union in efforts to address the Sudanese conflict. They reviewed growing international concern over the risk of further fragmentation in Sudan if the war continues without a political settlement.
During the meeting, the TASIS delegation reaffirmed its commitment to the alliance’s founding charter and Sudan’s 2025 Transitional Constitution.
It also called on the international community to avoid what it described as double standards in dealing with Sudan’s warring parties. The delegation argued that pressure should not be directed only at TASIS, while the Port Sudan authorities face no comparable pressure.
TASIS said such an approach would undermine prospects for balanced negotiations and would not create the conditions needed for a sustainable peace process.
Both sides agreed to continue high-level consultations. Norway’s mission said the talks were useful in helping Norwegian officials and the wider public gain a clearer understanding of TASIS, its political objectives and the wider complexities of the Sudanese crisis.
The meeting comes as regional and international actors continue efforts to revive a political track and push for an end to the war.
