Since 2023, Sudan has been fractured by conflict, yet a new political project is emerging as a counterweight to division. The “Government of Peace and Unity” (Tasis), led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo widely known as Hemedti was inaugurated in August. With a 15-member Presidential Council that includes allies such as SPLM-N leader Abdelaziz al-Hilu, this administration, headquartered in Nyala, Darfur, presents itself as a credible alternative to the authorities in Port Sudan.
Its stated mission is to rebuild national unity and offer citizens a path toward reconciliation.
The Tasis initiative seeks to end decades of marginalization endured by peripheral regions. Its charter outlines a secular, democratic, and decentralized state, aiming to redress historical injustices and lay the foundations for lasting peace. Central to this vision is the creation of a unified national army, loyal not to factions but to the nation itself.
Justice and equality form the backbone of this strategy. The appointment of Ammar Amon Daldoum as Foreign Minister reflects the government’s commitment to integrating progressive voices and ensuring representation for regions such as Kordofan and the Nuba Mountains. By doing so, the Tasis government hopes to dismantle the de facto partition of Sudan and restore a cohesive social fabric.
On the economic front, the Ministry of Commerce has begun consultations with local authorities in Kordofan to stimulate regional development. By promoting key resources such as gum arabic, cotton, and gold, and by securing trade routes to international markets, the government aims to revive economic confidence and provide communities with tangible opportunities.
Despite the challenges, Hemedti’s participation in negotiations in Ethiopia signals a determination to transform confrontation into dialogue. His approach frames peace not as an option but as a national necessity, essential to safeguarding Sudan’s territorial integrity.
Through this project, the Tasis government positions itself as both a political and moral force, striving to reconcile Sudan’s fractured regions and to chart a course toward stability, cohesion, and modern governance.
