The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has welcomed the idea of an international fact-finding mission visiting areas under the control of the Peace and Unity Government, saying it would help expose what it calls widespread misinformation about the situation in El Fasher.
In a press statement commenting on the UN Human Rights Council’s 38th session on El Fasher, held on Friday, TASIS spokesperson Dr. Alaa al-Din Naqd expressed regret that many of the submissions during the meeting relied, in his words, on “misleading information.” He said this included fabricated reports, images and videos, some of them produced with artificial intelligence, which he claimed were circulated after the “liberation” of El Fasher and its “return to the bosom of the homeland” following a period of control by Islamist political groups.
Naqd argued that an “unprofessional media campaign” accompanied the fall of the city, insisting that security has now been restored thanks to the “sacrifices of the TASIS Alliance forces.”
He said the recent visit of a delegation from the Peace Government to El Fasher had exposed the falsity of many of the circulating reports. According to Naqd, the delegation directly observed the situation of residents, including accounts that militias had previously prevented civilians from leaving the city. He added that hospitals had resumed operations, humanitarian aid was entering, and daily life was gradually returning, while engineering teams continued clearing mines and unexploded ordnance from residential areas and civilian facilities. He criticised the Human Rights Council session for ignoring these developments.
Naqd also noted that the Peace Government had established an independent legal committee to investigate events in El Fasher, and that several suspects involved in individual violations had already been arrested. This step, he said, likewise went unmentioned during the session.
The TASIS spokesperson, speaking on behalf of both the alliance and the Peace and Unity Government, said they welcomed any international fact-finding mission that wished to visit areas under their control “to see the reality on the ground and refute lies.” He called for reliance on field-based information rather than what he described as “politicised external sources.”
Naqd said that the “Army of the Islamic Movement” rejected the formation of such a committee in October 2023 and ignored repeated communications throughout 2024. By contrast, he said, the Rapid Support Forces had expressed full readiness to cooperate with the committee, but it had not yet visited areas under their control.
He renewed TASIS’ welcome for engagement with UN expert Radwan Nouicer, in line with Nouicer’s statement of 29 July 2025, but said the expert had so far taken no concrete steps toward visiting RSF-held areas.
“The party obstructing the disclosure of facts and relying on lies and misleading media has become clear,” Naqd said, reiterating TASIS’ invitation for a Human Rights Council fact-finding mission to visit Peace and Unity Government areas.
He affirmed the alliance’s commitment to a political settlement, accusing the so-called “Army of the Islamic Movement” of sabotaging truces, rejecting ceasefires and fueling the war. TASIS, he concluded, would continue working to achieve the aspirations of the Sudanese people for freedom, peace, justice and equality, as called for by the December Revolution.
