The leaders of the Transitional Peace Government and political alliances in Sudan’s West Darfur State have expressed support for the Tasis administration and its change agenda during public rallies in El Geneina, the state capital.
They said the participation of citizens, particularly young people and women, reflected what they described as recovery, stability, and popular legitimacy.
The Sudan Founding Alliance (Tasis) is an anti-governmental political and military coalition in Sudan formed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), and 23 other allied political factions, armed movements, trade unions, and civil society groups.
The rallies also featured calls for the establishment of a democratic civilian state founded on justice and equality, alongside demands for civilian protection and investigations into alleged violations in Darfur and Kordofan.
Tijani Al-Tahir Karshoum, head of the civil administration in West Darfur, said the public turnout demonstrated residents’ support for the Tasis government and its vision of building a new Sudan based on justice and equality.
“The rallies reflect a rejection of the old Sudan, which was characterized by injustice, marginalization and the plundering of national resources,” he said. “The demonstrations signal West Darfur’s recovery and will help strengthen security, stability, social cohesion and unity. The change agenda has been shaped by sacrifices and struggle, including the deaths of supporters and injuries to thousands of others.”
Al-Tahir condemned attacks on civilians in Darfur and Kordofan, urging the international community to fulfil its responsibility to protect civilians. He also called for the establishment of an international investigative commission to examine alleged violations and hold those responsible accountable.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Fadl, head of the Qimam Alliance, said the rally was a continuation of previous revolutions in Sudan. He described the April 15 revolution as an ongoing movement, saying the large crowds demonstrated continued public support for it.
“My alliance supported the Transitional Peace Government and rejects the government which targets civilians with aircraft and chemical weapons,” he said. “De facto Sudanese leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan does not represent the Sudanese people at international forums.”
In a separate address, Carlo John, finance minister in the Transitional Peace Government, said the participation of young people and women reflected what he described as genuine recovery in West Darfur.
“The Tasis Alliance is seeking to establish a new financial and economic system focused on easing the cost-of-living burden, improving access to essential services and providing free education,” he said. “The Tasis government’s economic programme is based on fiscal decentralization, granting regions and local administrations broad powers to manage their finances and resources, including revenue collection.”
He said dismantling what he described as the centralized system that had dominated Sudan since 1956 was a key pillar of the change agenda.
For his part, Decentralized Governance Minister Sila Musa said the public turnout demonstrated popular support for the Transitional Peace Government, adding that the people were its principal source of backing.
Musa also praised the Tasis forces and what he described as their military victories. He called for investigations into alleged crimes he attributed to the Port Sudan-based army, urging cooperation with the government to achieve its objectives and restore education and healthcare services.
