KHARTOUM, July 27 (Xinhua) — A political coalition led by the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF) announced on Saturday the formation of a parallel government in Sudan, raising fears of further fragmentation of the country already suffering from civil conflict for more than two years.
“The leadership of the Founding Alliance of Sudan has agreed to appoint Mohammed Hassan al-Taishi as prime minister of the peace government,” the alliance’s spokesman, Alaa El-Din Nugood, said in a televised address broadcast via Telegram.
According to the statement, RRF commander Mohammed Hamdan Daglo was appointed head of the presidential council, the highest sovereign body in the new government, and PPLM-N leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu was appointed his deputy.
An anonymous source in the alliance told Xinhua that the SRF received 42 percent of the seats in the parallel government, while the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North received 33 percent. The remaining 25 percent were divided among other groups in the alliance.
Political analyst Abdel Khalek Mahjoub said the announcement of a parallel government would further complicate Sudan's political crisis.
"There are serious concerns that Sudan could face the threat of splitting, given the existence of two governments. This reality worsens the political situation in the country," he said.
Having two governments, he said, exacerbates the geographic divide, which could eventually lead to permanent division, as seen in some other countries.
In February, the RSF signed a founding charter with various political and armed groups, laying the foundation for a parallel government.
The RSF currently controls most of the Darfur region in western Sudan and part of the Kordofan region.
Sudan remains locked in a conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RRF, which erupted in April 2023. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions more. –0–
