Sudan’s Founding Coalition “Tasees” has launched consultations in Nairobi to establish a “peace and unity” government, which is expected to be announced from within Sudan.
Discussions, which began on Sunday, focus on structuring key governance institutions, including the Sovereign Council, Cabinet, and Parliament.
Revolutionary Front leader Hadi Idris stated that the new government would be announced “in the coming days from inside Sudan.” Ibrahim al-Mirghani, head of the technical committee for the Nairobi conference, said the signed charter serves as a foundation for forming a consensus-based government.
Political Charter Signed
The coalition’s factions signed a political charter, laying the groundwork for the transitional government. The final session was attended by high-ranking figures, including Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Deputy Commander Abdel-Rahim Dagalo, Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu, and Justice and Equality Movement leader Suleiman Sandal. Other attendees included Sudan Liberation Forces Gathering leader Taher Hajar, Revolutionary Front representatives, and National Umma Party Chairman Fadlallah Burma Nasir.
Also present were Democratic Unionist Party official Ibrahim al-Mirghani, Free Lions Party leader Mabrouk Mubarak Salim, and opposition Beja Congress leader Osama Saeed, alongside intellectuals, traditional leaders, and Sufi groups.
Charter Provisions and Restrictions
The charter, signed by 24 political entities, includes political parties, armed movements, and local community organizations aligned with the RSF.
It defines Sudan’s identity based on historical and contemporary diversity, emphasizing freedom, justice, and equality.
The document is structured around two main sections: general principles with 32 provisions and the rationale for establishing a transitional peace government. The latter is divided into national objectives and commitments to international peace and security.
Key provisions state that Sudan’s governance should be based on “voluntary unity” among its regions and communities and that the state must protect its political and economic independence while ensuring equal rights for all citizens.
The charter explicitly bans the formation of political parties based on religion and prohibits religious or racial-based political campaigns. It also mandates a civilian-controlled military that reflects Sudan’s regional diversity and calls for an independent, professional intelligence agency free from political affiliations.
Justice and National Consensus
The document underscores the need for historical accountability, ending impunity, and criminalizing military coups and extremist movements. It identifies the primary goals of the transitional government as ending the war, achieving lasting peace, protecting civilians, delivering humanitarian aid, and restoring Sudan’s democratic transition.
Mohamed Mukhtar, spokesperson for the RSF negotiating delegation, hailed the agreement as a landmark moment for Sudan.
“What happened today is a historic achievement that Sudan has not witnessed since its independence in 1956,” he said.
Mukhtar emphasized that Sudan is entering a phase of reconstruction based on justice, equality, and inclusivity, with the aim of reintegrating the country into the international community as a sovereign and respected nation.
He described the Nairobi talks as a broad political gathering that brought together political, civil, and traditional groups alongside Sudan’s diverse communities.
