Nairobi, March 18 (Darfur24)
Sudan’s Committee for Dismantling the June 30, 1989 Regime and Recovering Public Funds announced on Tuesday that it has officially resumed its work, pledging to pursue the assets and networks of the former ruling National Congress Party and Islamic Movement inside and outside the country.
The committee, formed under the transitional government led by Abdalla Hamdok to dismantle the economic and institutional structures of the Bashir-era regime, had its activities suspended following the October 25, 2021, coup that overthrew the civilian administration.
In a statement, the committee described the decision to freeze its work as “illegitimate,” adding that it would resume its duties under the leadership of Mohamed Al-Faki Suleiman.
It said its renewed mandate includes tracking financial and organizational networks linked to the former regime, recovering looted public funds, and working to dismantle sources of financing, while holding accountable those accused of crimes committed during the three decades of rule under the former government, as well as in the period following the 2021 coup and the April 2023 war.
The committee linked its return to what it described as an ongoing “criminal war” driven by elements of the former regime seeking to regain power, arguing that achieving stability and democratic transition depends on completing the dismantling process.
It also pledged to pursue former regime leaders through legal channels domestically and internationally, confront affiliated media platforms, and counter what it called an organized disinformation campaign.
The statement added that the committee plans to reveal organizations and entities allegedly used as fronts by the former regime, including publishing the names of those responsible, as part of efforts to dismantle entrenched networks of influence.
The committee renewed its commitment to continue its work “until completion,” calling on pro-democracy groups and the public to support its efforts, while welcoming cooperation from national, regional, and international partners to recover public funds and support Sudan’s transition toward “freedom, peace, and justice.”
