In Sudan, the Tasis alliance has announced the creation of a governance council.
This coalition of armed groups, political parties, and civil society organizations, allied with the Rapid Support Forces paramilitaries, was launched in February in Nairobi, Kenya.
It aim is to establish a parallel government to that of Port Sudan, where the regular army has been stationed since the onset of the war two years ago.
With this alliance, General Hemedti’s paramilitaries are attempting to gain political ground against his rival, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
The announcement was made with great fanfare in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state.
