Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, head of the Presidential Council of the “TASIS” government, said the capture of El Fasher marked a turning point for Sudan’s unity and rejected what he called “separatist claims” promoted after the operation by rivals from the Islamist Movement (Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood).
He stressed his administration “will not entertain any discussion about fragmenting the country” and “will not cede any part of its territory.”
Addressing events in El Fasher, Dagalo acknowledged violations occurred and announced an independent legal committee to investigate. He said the team has already arrived in the city and will hold to account any soldier or officer found responsible, pledging to publish the findings immediately.
He said civilians are free to move and detainees will be released, and he urged humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently. He also warned of landmines and unexploded ordnance, noting engineering teams have begun clearance to enable the return of displaced residents.
Dagalo added that RSF units will withdraw in stages as security is transferred to the federal police. He said his government is committing to service repairs — including electricity and water — and vowed legal accountability for anyone proven to have abused civilians.
