Suleiman Sandal, head of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), said the new transitional government announced by the Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) is a strategic step to end the war and rebuild Sudan on principles of equal citizenship and constitutional rights.
Describing it as a “Peace Government,” Sandal said the move represents a turning point between Sudan’s past and future. He called it a natural extension of Sudan’s long history of uprisings—both civilian and armed—and argued that it could preserve national unity and strengthen the path toward democratic transformation.
His comments came after TASIS unveiled its new transitional administration in a televised press conference in Nyala. The coalition brings together the Rapid Support Forces, armed movements, political parties and civil groups in an attempt to restructure power and widen representation after more than two years of war.
The new government appointed Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi as prime minister and formed a 15-member presidential council chaired by RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti,” with Abdelaziz al-Hilu as deputy.
Regional governors were also named, including Hadi Idris for Darfur, Jakkoud Mekwar for South Kordofan, Fares al-Nour for Khartoum, Mabrouk Mubarak Selim for the East, Joseph Tekka for Funj, Saleh Issa for the Central region, and Professor Abu al-Qasim al-Rashid for the North.
Other prominent figures joining the council include al-Taher Hajar, Mohamed Youssef Ahmed al-Mustafa and Mohamed Hamid al-Nuwairi.
The structure is designed to overcome Sudan’s political deadlock and launch a new civilian-led process aimed at ending the conflict, restoring stability and building a democratic state.
