The Coordination of the Civil Forces Alliance “Tagadum”, a prominent Sudanese civilian coalition, has officially announced its dissolution following internal disputes over the formation of a parallel government in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

“Tagadum is no longer in existence, and I am no longer the spokesperson for this body,” said Bakry Eljack, the coalition’s spokesperson, in an interview with Al Jazeera TV, describing the announcement as “sad.”

The anti-war coalition, led by Abdallah Hamdok, held a meeting on Monday to discuss “the issue of legitimacy (in Sudan) and the position on the concept of establishing a government as one of the accepted means of dealing with this issue.”

Calls to form a parallel government in RSF-controlled territories led to divisions among the coalition’s blocs. The Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF), which includes armed groups in Darfur and groups from eastern Sudan, along with some civil society bodies and organizations, supported it.

A press statement issued by Tagadum stated that the meeting discussed the report prepared by the political mechanism, which concluded that there were two divergent positions on the issue of the parallel government.

“Accordingly, the most appropriate option is to separate the two sides so that each can operate under a separate political and organizational platform with two different new names,” the statement added.

According to the press release, each party will now act as it sees fit and in line with its vision of the war, ways to stop it, achieve comprehensive and lasting peace, establish sustainable civil democratic rule, and confront the plans of the former regime, its dissolved party, and its facades.
