The Sudanese Founding Alliance, Tasis, has rejected a recent call for political dialogue by Army Commander Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
The alliance responded after Burhan’s Eid al-Adha speech, in which he proposed a comprehensive political dialogue inside Sudan aimed at paving the way for a new system of governance and democratic transition.
Tasis dismissed the proposal as a political maneuver driven by the military and Islamist factions operating behind the scenes.
The Alliance said a genuine transitional process cannot be achieved under military dominance or through what it described as rule imposed by force.
Alliance spokesperson Ahmed Tagad Lissan said Sudanese citizens, exhausted by war and political turmoil, would not accept a return to failed political approaches.
He added that Sudan’s crisis is deeply rooted and cannot be resolved through limited agreements or arrangements imposed from above.
Tasis reaffirmed its commitment to its own “Sudanese Founding Project,” which calls for a secular, decentralized democratic state.
The alliance said its vision is based on separating religion from the state and guaranteeing equal citizenship for people across Sudan’s marginalized regions.
Meanwhile, the war in Sudan continues to deepen the humanitarian crisis, with more than 12 million people displaced since fighting erupted in April 2023.
As rival political and military forces promote competing visions for the country’s future, hopes for a unified peace agreement remain distant.
