January 30, 2025 Nairobi: Darfur24 Signs of division have emerged within the Sudanese Coordination of Democratic Civil Forces “Tagadum,” splitting into two groups due to disagreements over forming a parallel government to the Army’s authority.
The official spokesperson for “Tagadum,” Bakri Al-Jak, issued a statement confirming the disassociation from entities and individuals insisting on forming the government, stating that the official stance is against forming an exile or parallel government.
In response, the Deputy Head of the Coordination, Al-Hadi Idris Yahya, issued a statement asserting that Al-Jak’s announcement does not represent the official view of the Coordination and was not agreed upon within the known organizational frameworks.
Bakri Al-Jak stated that the proposal to form a government was presented by a group within the leadership body during a meeting that concluded on December 6, and there was no consensus on the proposal.
He confirmed that the issue of legitimacy disputes and other matters were referred to the political mechanism, which held several meetings and issued recommendations referred to the General Secretariat and the leadership body of the Coordination.
He added that “the political mechanism agreed in its last meeting to disassociate from entities and individuals insisting on proceeding with forming the government and those adhering to not forming any government independently or with any of the warring parties.”
He announced the formation of a committee to reach a disassociation formula that maximizes the agreed-upon points between the two parties, allowing each to operate independently politically and organizationally.
He affirmed that “Tagadum” Coordination will remain neutral to any warring party and does not recognize the legitimacy of the de facto authority in Port Sudan or any other authority.
On the other hand, the Deputy Head of “Tagadum” Coordination, Al-Hadi Idris Yahya, stated that the Coordination has not yet made any decision regarding the issue of forming the government and that the matter is still under discussion among all parties.
He explained that any hasty statements issued outside the organizational context are irresponsible attempts to impose certain agendas and do not represent the collective will of the alliance.
He added that “Bakri Al-Jak’s hasty statement is an attempt to create division within the coordination, which we strongly reject,” he said.
He continued, “Tagadum alliance was founded on the principles of political consensus among its founders, and they alone have the right to determine its fate. No single party can decide the fate of the Coordination or issue decisive decisions without everyone’s approval. We reject any attempts to impose a fait accompli without consulting all partners.
