The Sudanese civil coalition, Tagadum, has officially dissolved due to internal rifts over establishing a parallel government in RSF-controlled areas. Bakry Eljack confirmed the dissolution, noting that it arises from significant ideological differences within the coalition. Supporting factions will now operate separately to align with their respective visions for peace and governance in Sudan.
On February 10, 2025, the Coordination of the Civil Forces Alliance known as “Tagadum” has formally declared its dissolution. This decision follows significant internal disagreements about the proposal to create a parallel government in regions controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Bakry Eljack, the coalition’s spokesperson, confirmed the dissolution in an interview, labeling the event as a “sad” moment for the organization.
During a recent meeting, the anti-war coalition, overseen by Abdallah Hamdok, examined matters of legitimacy in Sudan, alongside the implications of establishing a new government. The discussions were prompted by escalating calls to form a parallel government in RSF-dominated areas, which eventually led to fractures within the coalition’s ranks. Notably, the Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) supported this initiative, causing further division.
A statement from Tagadum disclosed that the meeting had reviewed recommendations from a political mechanism indicating the existence of two contrasting stances regarding the parallel government proposal. This divergence prompted the coalition to agree on the need to segregate into two distinct entities, allowing each to advance under separate political identities and strategic plans for governance and peace-building efforts.
Moving forward, both factions intend to pursue their respective visions regarding the conflict in Sudan, focusing on rightful pathways to peace and democratic governance. This separation marks a pivotal shift in Sudan’s political landscape as civil groups recalibrate their strategies in light of ongoing challenges to stability and democracy.
The dissolution of the Tagadum coalition highlights emerging divisions among Sudanese civil forces regarding governance and peace initiatives. With one faction endorsing the establishment of a parallel government, and the other pursuing different avenues, this split signals significant shifts in the country’s political dynamics. The need for sustainable governance remains a critical challenge as factions realign to confront ongoing conflict and instability.
