Overview
- The RSF-led Tasis Alliance declared a rival administration in Nyala, appointing a 15-member presidential council chaired by Mohamed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo.
- Mohammed Hassan al-Ta’ishi was named prime minister of the parallel government formed in RSF-controlled western regions.
- The Sudanese army under General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan denounced the parallel government as illegitimate, vowing to press on with efforts to restore unified control.
- The dual administrations mirror a de facto territorial split, with the RSF holding Darfur and parts of Kordofan while the SAF controls Khartoum and central Sudan.
- United Nations officials warn the move could deepen fragmentation and stall diplomacy, and the US has already sanctioned Hemedti for alleged genocide.
