A spokesperson for the Sudan Founding Alliance, known as Tasis, has accused General al-Burhan’s forces (SAF) of defending a political faction rather than the country.
Dr. Alaa al-Din Awad Naqd, the official spokesperson for the Tasis alliance, said the SAF “is not defending the homeland but a political group that seized power in 1989.”
Speaking in an interview on BBC Arabic’s program “Bila Qiyud” (Without Restrictions), Naqd argued that the military institution has transformed into “a political party seeking to rule.” He accused what he described as the “army of the Muslim Brotherhood” of deepening divisions within Sudan.
The discussion addressed Sudan’s worsening humanitarian conditions, the accusations and sanctions imposed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and the Tasis alliance’s position on the continuation of the war. It also examined the level of public backing for what the alliance calls the “Peace Government.”
Naqd said the alliance “reserves the right to respond to attacks,” blaming what he referred to as “old forces” for pushing the country toward prolonged conflict.
“The Sudanese army (SAF) is not defending the nation,” he said. “This army is defending a specific group that hijacked power in 1989 and domesticated the military. This army is a political party that wants to rule.”
The remarks come amid continued fighting and deep political polarization in Sudan.
