Amid the Sudanese crisis, the initiative led by the Founding Alliance of Sudan known as Tasis aims to place peace, national unity, and the country’s political reorganization at the center of the debate. Created in 2025 by a coalition of political forces, armed movements, and civil society actors, the alliance announced the establishment of a “Government of Peace and Unity,” presented as an alternative to the authorities based in Port Sudan.
Led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who heads the Presidential Council, Tasis states its intention to build a more inclusive, decentralized Sudan founded on equality among its various components. Mohamed Hassan al-Ta’aishi has been appointed Prime Minister. The constitutional framework advocated by the alliance emphasizes, in particular, freedom, justice, equality, and decentralized governance.
A central element of this approach is the stated desire to make peace not only a diplomatic goal but also a new basis for political legitimacy. In his statements, Hemedti asserts that the government of peace seeks to achieve a “just unity” for Sudan and to allow the various regions greater autonomy in managing their affairs and resources.
This shift comes as the conflict that broke out in April 2023 continues to cause massive displacement and a severe humanitarian crisis. The UN estimates that more than 14 million people have been displaced by the war and calls on the parties involved to put an end to the violence and the interference that fuels it.
In this context, Tasis seeks to present his plan as a political response to a crisis that cannot be resolved by military means alone. His message emphasizes institutional reconstruction, representation for marginalized regions, and the search for a new political balance.
However, this ambition remains highly contested. The African Union, the UN, and other international actors have expressed their opposition to the creation of a parallel administration, arguing in particular that it could exacerbate the country’s fragmentation.
The real challenge for Tasis will therefore be to translate his message of peace and unity into concrete political results capable of winning over people beyond his own supporters and effectively contributing to the reunification of Sudan.
