The Democratic Sudan Liberation Movement has called for the Muslim Brotherhood to be excluded from Sudan’s political future, warning that allowing the Islamist organisation to retain influence would undermine efforts to end the war and establish democratic civilian rule.
The movement welcomed recent remarks by US State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott, who reaffirmed President Donald Trump’s commitment to ending the conflict and working with Sudanese parties willing to engage seriously in peace efforts.
In a statement carried by local Sudanese media, movement leader Hassab al-Nabi Mahmoud expressed his organisation’s readiness to cooperate with international and regional initiatives aimed at ending the fighting and alleviating the country’s humanitarian crisis.
Mahmoud said any political settlement capable of delivering lasting peace must include decisive measures to remove the Muslim Brotherhood from political life and positions of state authority.
He accused the organisation of obstructing stability and fuelling Sudan’s conflicts, arguing that its exclusion was essential to preventing a return to ideological domination of state institutions.
The movement said Sudan’s future political system must be built on citizenship, democratic governance, public freedoms and the rule of law.
Mahmoud added that such measures were necessary to prevent renewed instability and ensure that state institutions and national resources could not be brought under the control of ideological groups.
The movement’s position follows a September 22 US statement calling for an immediate humanitarian truce without preconditions and an inclusive political dialogue leading to civilian government. Washington said it was prepared to work with serious partners for peace, but the statement did not specifically call for the Muslim Brotherhood’s exclusion.
