Sudanese coalition led by paramilitary RSF announces parallel government
- On July 27, 2025, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's armed group, known as the RSF, declared the establishment of a rival government based in Nyala, South Darfur.
- This announcement followed a power struggle beginning in April 2023 between RSF leader Dagalo and Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who once shared power and ousted Omar al-Bashir in 2019.
- The 15-member presidential council, chaired by Dagalo, claims authority in RSF-controlled areas mainly in Darfur and parts of Kordofan amid ongoing civil war, violence, and a siege causing widespread hunger and displacement.
- The Biden administration imposed sanctions on Dagalo, accusing the RSF of genocide and serious human rights abuses including sexual violence, while Sudan’s internationally recognized government condemned the RSF's declaration as a fake government threatening Sudan’s sovereignty.
- The formation of the parallel government risks deepening Sudan’s division and prolonging conflict, as nearly 150,000 have died and 13 million are displaced in a war now spanning over 27 months.
