The Prime Minister of the Founding Government, Mohamed Hassan Othman al-Ta’aishi used his first public speech in Nyala to pledge sweeping reforms, promising citizens dignity, justice, and lasting security.
“The new government places security and citizens’ dignity above all else,” he declared in Martyr Al-Suhaini Square before thousands of supporters. He said carefully prepared policies will reform the police, security agencies, and public prosecution, in line with the transitional constitution of 2025.
The Prime Minister stressed that his programme derives legitimacy from the founding alliance’s charter, endorsed by political and community forces nationwide. He vowed to expand health and education services while adopting strict financial governance to ensure fair distribution of Sudan’s national resources.
A new law against terrorism is being drafted, alongside a sweeping campaign to root out corruption and curb hate speech. He proclaimed that the new Sudan will be founded on justice, equal citizenship, and the rule of law for all. Prominent figures, including Vice President Abdulaziz Al-Helo and leader Al-Hadi Idris, attended the event under tight security measures in Nyala.
Eyewitnesses reported widespread troop deployment, closed markets, and restrictions on Starlink outlets as authorities secured entrances and exits of the city. The address came within transitional arrangements under the 2025 constitution, negotiated by armed groups, civil administrations, and political alliances. Among those signatories are the Rapid Support Forces, the People’s Movement-North, the Sudan Liberation Movement-Transitional Council, and allied factions.
For many in South Darfur, the speech symbolised both the weight of Sudan’s crises and the faint hope of national renewal.
