Al-Hadi Idris, leader of the Sudan Revolutionary Front and head of the Sudan Liberation Movement – Transitional Council, has announced plans to form a “Peace and Unity Government” following the signing of a political charter on Tuesday.
Idris, a former member of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, stated that several countries have provided assurances they will recognize the new government, which is set to be declared after February 18.
In a post on X, Idris said the charter would be signed by political and civil groups, armed movements, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He emphasized that the document underscores a commitment to ending the war, addressing the root causes of Sudan’s crisis, and upholding the country’s democratic unity, including the integration of military forces.
“This war is fundamentally a struggle over power and legitimacy,” Idris said, accusing opponents of aligning with remnants of the former regime who, he argued, have no interest in peace. He stressed that the new government would push for a resolution to the conflict.
Idris also highlighted the humanitarian aspects of the proposed government, saying it would work to provide essential services and official documentation to Sudanese citizens lacking proper identification. “Above all, we are committed to maintaining Sudan’s unity and preventing its division,” he added.
Speaking to reporters, Idris reiterated that multiple countries had given assurances of recognizing the incoming administration. He stated that the Peace Government’s charter remains open for all, including General al-Burhan’s SAF, to sign.
The announcement of the government’s imminent formation has sent shockwaves through Sudan’s political, social, and even military circles.
Meanwhile, Osman Abdel Rahman Suleiman, spokesperson for the United Civil Forces Coalition (Qimam), told Asharq Al-Awsat that technical committees have finalized the drafting of a temporary constitution, the political charter, and the government’s program, which are now ready for signing.
According to Suleiman, the proposed government’s key responsibilities will include protecting civilians, ensuring basic services—including official documentation—facilitating humanitarian aid, engaging with the international community, and neutralizing airstrikes in the conflict.
