The Sudan Founding Alliance, known as TASIS, says Sudan’s “Government of Peace” has submitted files documenting alleged wartime violations, including the reported use of chemical weapons, to specialised international organisations and legal bodies as part of efforts to hold those responsible accountable.
TASIS spokesperson Ahmed Tugud said the authorities were coordinating with several countries and international organisations to document alleged abuses and pursue possible legal action through international mechanisms.
In an interview with Erem News, Tugud said continued attacks on civilians demonstrated the failure of attempts to secure a military victory and underlined the need for stronger international intervention to ensure investigations and accountability.
He accused Sudan’s Islamist movement of entering the war on the assumption that the Rapid Support Forces and their leadership could be defeated within hours, allowing Islamists to derail the Framework Agreement, remove the Forces of Freedom and Change from the political scene and return to power.
According to Tugud, those calculations proved incorrect and produced catastrophic consequences for Sudan.
He said the Islamist movement and forces aligned with the Port Sudan authorities had turned the continuation of the war into a means of preserving political influence, regardless of the human, economic and material cost.
Tugud accused Islamist brigades and allied forces of carrying out repeated violations, including drone attacks and what he described as the systematic targeting of communities believed to support rival forces.
He cited the reported killing of around 37 people in the Ghra al-Zawiya area as an example of what he called a broader strategy based on military escalation and collective punishment.
The TASIS spokesperson said the Government of Peace had sought to draw local and international attention to alleged violations committed by Port Sudan forces and Islamist-linked groups.
However, he argued that international accountability mechanisms had so far failed to reduce abuses or provide effective solutions.
Tugud said the Port Sudan authorities had refused to allow international fact-finding and investigative committees into areas under their control, despite what he described as the Government of Peace’s willingness to cooperate with international investigators.
Addressing allegations involving chemical weapons, Tugud said TASIS believed internationally prohibited weapons had been used by the Islamist movement and forces aligned with the Port Sudan authorities.
“These acts violate international conventions and cannot pass without accountability,” he said.
Tugud said the Government of Peace was in contact with international organisations, foreign governments, activists and specialists to examine the alleged impact of the weapons on civilians and the environment.
He added that available information had been shared with several countries, including the United States, in an effort to increase pressure on those accused of using prohibited weapons and prepare the cases for possible future prosecution.
The allegations made by Tugud have not been independently verified, and the Port Sudan authorities have previously rejected accusations that their forces used chemical weapons during the conflict.
