Sudanese Tasis Prime Minister Mohamed Hassan Othman Al-Taishi has appointed six new ministers to the transitional government established by the Sudan Founding Alliance, known as TASIS, as the administration moves to complete its executive structure.
The appointments were announced in a decree issued under Article 73(a) of the 2025 Transitional Constitution adopted by the alliance.
Under the decision, Salah Al-Shimi Al-Faki Al-Shimi was appointed minister of agriculture and forests, while Mohamed Ismail Abdullah Ismail was named minister of trade.
Adam Al-Tahir Hasaballah was appointed minister of investment, and Amer Toto Bahr was selected to head the Ministry of Communications and Digital Transformation.
Saleh Mansour Al-Radi Khalil was appointed minister of labour and human resources, while Adel Ibrahim Shaluka Nimer was named minister of youth and sports.
The decree directed state institutions and other relevant bodies operating under the transitional administration to take the necessary measures to implement the appointments.
The decision represents another stage in the formation of the TASIS government, which was announced in July 2025 by an alliance that includes the Rapid Support Forces, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North led by Abdelaziz Al-Hilu and several armed and political groups.
Al-Taishi, a former member of Sudan’s post-2019 Sovereign Council, serves as prime minister, while RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo heads the administration’s Presidential Council and Al-Hilu serves as his deputy.
The government has previously appointed ministers responsible for foreign affairs, interior, health and other sectors. The latest appointments add several economically significant portfolios, including agriculture, trade and investment, as TASIS seeks to establish governing institutions in territories controlled by its members.
TASIS describes the administration as a peace and unity government intended to provide services, restore civilian institutions and offer an alternative to the authorities aligned with the Sudanese Armed Forces.
The Port Sudan authorities and their supporters reject the administration and describe it as an illegitimate parallel government. Several foreign governments also opposed the establishment of a rival authority when TASIS first unveiled its constitutional framework.
The new appointments nevertheless indicate that the alliance is continuing to institutionalise its administration, with a growing ministerial structure covering security, diplomacy, health, economic management, communications and public services.
