The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has issued a strong response to the UN Security Council’s August 13 statement on the Sudan conflict, underscoring its commitment to preserving Sudan’s unity, ending the war, and establishing a secular, democratic state.
In its declaration, TASIS stressed that the unity of Sudan is a non-negotiable principle enshrined in the 2025 Transitional Constitution, positioning the Sudan Peace Government as the sole guarantor of stability against what it called the “separatist measures” of the Port Sudan junta. It accused the “apartheid regime” in Port Sudan of igniting the conflict and undermining past peace efforts.
TASIS reiterated its pledge to pursue a comprehensive peace that addresses the root causes of Sudan’s wars, ensuring all political, social, and regional components have a role in shaping the country’s future. It ruled out any return to negotiation formats it said were previously sabotaged by the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and the dissolved National Congress Party.
The alliance also placed civilian protection at the forefront of its priorities, pledging strict adherence to international humanitarian law and unrestricted humanitarian aid delivery. On El Fasher, TASIS said it had publicly urged civilians to evacuate active combat zones and opened safe corridors, successfully relocating more than 800,000 people despite what it described as deliberate obstruction by Port Sudan junta, who it accused of imposing a curfew to keep civilians as “human shields.”
TASIS maintained that the Sudan Peace Government derives legitimacy from popular support, pointing to mass rallies celebrating its formation as a turning point toward restoring the democratic transition envisioned by the December 2018 revolution. The group condemned Port Sudan junta for denying Sudanese citizens freedom of movement, access to identity papers, and basic health and education services.
The alliance welcomed the Security Council’s pledge to back peace efforts and said it stood ready to cooperate with the international community to end the war and rebuild Sudan on the principles of freedom, peace, justice, and equality.
