The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS), led by the Rapid Support Forces, formally unveiled its civilian leadership in a major political announcement on Saturday in Nyala, installing RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo as head of a 15-member Presidential Council and SPLM‑N chief Abdel Aziz al‑Hilu as his deputy.
Former Sovereign Council member Mohamed Hassan al‑Ta’aishi was named prime minister in what the bloc brands a “Government of Peace and Unity.” Social accounts tied to Asharq and Al‑Hadath in Sudan, along with Darfur24 and The Sudan Times, circulated the line‑up ahead of the announcement.
Who got what (per documents and leaks):
- Council chair/deputy: Hemedti (RSF) / al‑Hilu (SPLM‑N).
- Prime minister: Mohamed Hassan al‑Ta’aishi.
- Governors: Al‑Hadi Idris (Darfur), Mabrouk Salim (Eastern Region), Faris al‑Nour (Khartoum).
- Interior minister: Suleiman Sandal (Justice & Equality Movement).
- Information minister nominee: Ibrahim al‑Mirghani (Democratic Unionist Party).
- Legislative Council presidency: National Umma Party (Fadlallah Burma Nasser).
Power-sharing figures circulating in Arabic outlets say the RSF will hold 47% of seats, SPLM‑N 33%, with the rest divided among smaller signatories. Portfolio splits mirror that ratio: RSF picks Defence, Oil and Minerals; SPLM‑N gets Foreign Affairs, Finance, Education, Agriculture and Federal Government. TASIS earlier declared Nyala the seat of its government, and local Facebook pages showed logistical preparations there this week.
What to watch next:
- Formal swearing‑in and any immediate decrees from Nyala.
- SAF or allied regional authorities’ countermeasures.
- Whether TASIS dissolves its ad hoc civil administrations once ministries are seated, as some insiders predicted.
