Port Sudan , May11 (Darfur 24)
Organizational disputes flared up within the Sudan Liberation Forces after the Revolutionary Liberation Council decided to dismiss the movement’s leader, Al-Taher Hajar.
The head of the Revolutionary Liberation Council, Ahmed Muhammad Sherka Suleiman said on Friday that the council had relieved Al-Taher Hajar from the chairmanship of the movement and formed a Panel to hold him accountable for constitutional abuses and violations.
Al-Taher Hajar was accused of committing the crime of high treason for supporting the Rapid Support Forces in their war against the people and for transgressing the institution in the case of receiving money from its leader, Muhammad Hamdan “Hemedti.”
Sherka pointed out that Al-Taher Hajar evaded holding the general conference and deliberately absented himself from the movement’s administrative, organizational, political and media activity.
The movement decided that the powers of the movement’s president would be transferred to his deputy, Abdullah Yahya.
The rapporteur of the Revolutionary Liberation Council, Abu Bakr Al-Nur Yaqoub, said on Saturday that the council has not held a meeting since February 8, 2024, as the statement issued by sherka represents his person only.
He stressed that Al-Taher Hajar will carry out his duties until the General Conference is held, explaining that the Revolutionary Liberation Council will hold a constitutional meeting to discuss the violations of its deputy president and refer him for investigation .
The official spokesman for the Sudan Liberation Forces Rally, Fathi Othman Ahmed, announced the Executive Office’s blessing for the step to dismiss Al-Tahir Hajar, noting that the decision was taken based on recommendations from members of the Executive Office, the movement’s structures, and its internal and external offices.
These differences relate to the position on the war, as Al-Taher Hajar insists on remaining neutral in the conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, while his deputy Abdullah Yahya “Abdullah Janna” engaged in fighting alongside the armed forces.
