The Rapid Support Forces have imposed new restrictions on the movement of political and executive officials working inside the civilian administration linked to the Sudan Founding Alliance, according to local sources.
The measures require officials and senior administrators to obtain prior approval before leaving their areas of work or travelling to other destinations, whether inside RSF-held territory or beyond it.
The directives have not been issued as a public written decree, but sources in the civil administration said they were circulated across states and localities under RSF control. One official in West Kordofan said the instructions were aimed at regulating official movement and monitoring security and administrative conditions.
The restrictions point to a broader effort by the TASIS authorities to tighten internal discipline, strengthen administrative control and prevent infiltration as Sudan’s rival governing structures continue to harden.
The development also follows the first meeting of the TASIS Security and Defence Council in Nyala, chaired by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, which ordered tougher measures to impose state authority, combat crime, secure humanitarian operations and confront networks it described as linked to the Islamic Movement.
South Darfur authorities have also introduced emergency measures after recent unrest in Nyala, including restrictions on tribal gatherings, weapons in public spaces, inflammatory speech and smuggling without official permits.
Together, the measures suggest that TASIS is moving from wartime political mobilisation toward a more controlled governing model in areas under its authority, as the conflict enters its fourth year and Sudan’s administrative map becomes increasingly divided.
