Khartoum , February 10(Darfur 24)
The Coordination-body of Civil and Democratic Forces (Tagaddum) announced on Monday disengagement from forces calling for the formation of a parallel government in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces(RSF).
Political forces and armed movements within the Tagaddum held a series of meetings to discuss arrangements for forming a parallel government, which concluded with the signing of the political charter on February 17, followed by the formation of the government.
Tagaddum formed a political mechanism to discuss the position on forming the government.
Tagaddum said, in a statement obtained by Darfur 24, that it approved the report of the political mechanism, which concluded that there are two different positions on the issue of the parallel government, and accordingly the most appropriate option is to disengage between the supporters of the two positions so that each of them works under a separate political and organizational platform with two new, different names.
Tagaddum indicated that it had reached the option of disengagement, in a meeting chaired by the head of the leadership body, Abdullah Hamdok, which was devoted to discussing the issue of legitimacy and the position on the concept of establishing a parallel government.
According to tagaddum “Each party will work as it deems appropriate and consistent with its vision of the war and ways to stop it, achieve comprehensive and lasting peace, establish sustainable democratic civil rule, and confront the plans of the former regime and its dissolved party and its fronts.”
Tagaddum stated that each group will announce its political and organizational arrangements, in addition to the new name under which it will operate separately.
The forces supporting the formation of a parallel government say that its tasks are to protect civilians, provide health, education and electricity services, issue identification documents, provide humanitarian aid, and neutralize the army’s warplanes.
The step of announcing the government in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces raises fears that it will lead to the division of the country, while some believe that signs of division have begun in the exchange of the currency and the holding of Sudanese certificate exams in areas controlled by the army.
