(TASIS) Formation of the Presidential Council and Selection of the Prime Minister of the Transitional Peace Government

NYALA:Alsudanianews 

Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allies on Saturday named their leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, widely known as Hemedti, as president of a newly formed parallel government, escalating the political divide in the country amid a protracted civil war with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).

The new governing body, announced in the RSF-held city of Nyala in South Darfur, is part of what the group calls the “Transitional Peace Government.”

The group, Leadership Council of the Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS), said RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo will chair the 15-member presidential council of the government, which includes regional governors.

Sudanese politician Mohammed Hassan Osman al-Ta’ishi will serve as prime minister, TASIS said.

“On the occasion of this historic achievement, the leadership council extends its greetings and congratulations to the Sudanese people who have endured the flames of devastating wars for decades,” the coalition said in a statement.

“It also renews TASIS’s commitment to building an inclusive homeland, and a new secular, democratic, decentralized, and voluntarily unified Sudan, founded on the principles of freedom, justice and equality.”

The newly formed presidential council comprises 15 members, including both political and regional figures allied with the RSF. In addition to Hemedti and al-Hilu, members include Al-Tahir Abu Bakr Hajar, Mohamed Youssef Ahmed al-Mustafa, Hamid Hamdeen Nuweiri, Abdullah Ibrahim Abbas, and Kholdi Fathi Salem.

Other members of the council were also named as regional governors. Hadi Idris Yahya was appointed governor of Darfur, Jagod Mekwar Murada as governor of the Nuba Mountains region, Joseph Tukka Ali as governor of the Funj region, Saleh Isa Abdullah as governor of Central Sudan, Mabrouk Mubarak Salem as governor of Eastern Sudan, Abul Qasim al-Rashid Ahmed as governor of Northern Sudan, Faris al-Noor Ibrahim as governor of Khartoum, and Hamad Mohamed Hamid as governor of Kordofan.
