- On Saturday, a coalition led by the Rapid Support Forces declared a parallel government, directly challenging the military-led authorities.
- Following the October 2021 coup, Sudan’s military shared power with Hemedti before they began fighting for control in April 2023.
- Since April 2023, the United Nations estimates show fighting has killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly 13 million people.
- The de facto governments hold power only in areas their forces occupy, undermining national cohesion, as both the Sudanese Armed Forces and RSF control limited territories.
- Following a July 24 meeting in Nyala, the declaration aligns with the Nairobi transitional constitution carving Sudan into eight federal regions and names Mohamed Hassan al-Taishi as prime minister.
