The core of the Sudan conflict is the centre vs marginal war, and the Port Sudan Authority is responsible for crimes that span 70 years, \u201cbeyond what the RSF or any other party in Sudan has committed,\u201d says Ammar Daldoum, secretary-general of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement-North under the leadership of Abdelaziz El Hilu (SPLM-N El Hilu) and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Sudan Founding Alliance (Tasees) government<\/a><\/a>, in a candid interview with Radio Dabanga on the programme \u2018Plain Speaking\u2019 broadcast on Saturday. \u201c<\/strong>We seek to destroy and dismantle the centre, and to build a new centre, on new foundations, represented by voluntary unity, democracy, secularism, and equal citizenship\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the coloniser\u2019s exit in 1956, Sudan has not been established as a real state, and its independence was fake, as a foreign coloniser was replaced by another local Sudanese coloniser. <\/strong>We have an integrated negotiating position to end the war, establish a real peace, and we are ready at any time to sit at the negotiating table, but the rejecting party is the Port Sudan Authority. <\/strong>We support the statement and efforts of the Quartet countries<\/a>, and their initiative, and seek to cooperate with them to achieve a just and sustainable peace, but do not currently have direct contacts with them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daldoum confirms that the Tasees Alliance seeks to destroy the centre and restructure it again on new foundations represented in voluntary unity, democracy, secularism, and equal citizenship in Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daldoum denies that the Sudan Founding Alliance forming a government in Nyala headed by Hemedti sought to create a separate state in western Sudan. He says: \u201cIf we wanted to establish a separate state, we would have declared it in the constitution of the founding alliance that we signed and ratified, and we do not take permission from anyone.\u201d He adds: \u201cWe seek the unity of Sudan … unity based on the free will of the Sudanese people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The essence of the conflict is the war of the centre against the margin\u2026\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daldoum says in the interview with Dabanga that Sudan has been living in a state of continuous war with itself since its independence in 1956 until today, pointing out that \u201cthe essence of the conflict is the war of the centre against the margin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains that Sudan \u201chas been building a military arsenal for the past 70 years, not to confront external threats, but to fight its citizens,\u201d explaining that \u201cwars have affected South Sudan, Darfur, the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile, and are still burning today.\u201d He adds, \u201cThe centre has been fighting the Sudanese people relentlessly, sometimes using weapons in the name of religion, sometimes through fraudulent elections, or military coups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alliance with RSF and collective awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He points out that the \u201ccollective awareness\u201d among the people of the marginalised is reinforced by the need to control natural resources and confront the racist and exclusionary policies practiced by the centre, stressing that the marginalised forces have realised with collective awareness that their previous wars were nothing but proxy wars in favour of the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a question about the feasibility of the SPLM\u2019s alliance with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are accused of committing war crimes and genocide in Sudan, Daldoum says, \u201cWe do not deny that the RSF has committed crimes, but we have also recognised in the 2025 Sudanese constitution \u2013 Article 48\/1 \u2013 the need to achieve justice and historical accountability, and anyone who is proven to be involved in crimes will be held accountable, whoever he is.\u201d He points out that the government of Port Sudan itself is responsible for crimes that extend for 70 years, (more than those committed by the RSF or any other party), recalling the trial of Ali Kushayb<\/a>, one of the militia leaders, before the International Criminal Court as proof that no crime falls by statute of limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our enemy is the centre, not the RSF\u2026\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the rumours that there is a crisis within the SPLM due to the alliance with the Rapid Support, Daldoum denies this, saying: \u201cThis is not true. The decision to join an alliance was made voluntarily by the political and leadership council of the movement last February, and no party forced us to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe that our first and last enemy is the centre, not the Rapid Support,\u201d he says. He explains that \u201cthe RSF and other movements used to fight on behalf of the centre, but what he describes as the shift in consciousness made the people of the margins unite against the centre\u2019s policies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds:( \u201cThe centre was constantly working to ignite wars within the margins, even between the Arab tribes themselves, to keep the conflict away from it… Today, we have realised that the unity of the margins is the way to confront, destroy and restructure this centre on new foundations that recognise diversity and ensure a just and lasting peace.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daldoum stresses that the Tasees Alliance \u201cseeks not only to confront the centre, but to rebuild it again in Sudan, to be based on the recognition and management of diversity fairly, ending decades of internal conflict and establishing sustainable peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudan has not been established since independence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daldoum says that Sudan has not been established as a real state since its decolonisation in 1956, and considers independence to be \u201cfake\u201d, (because what happened was nothing but the replacement of a foreign coloniser with another local Sudanese coloniser).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stresses that the Government of Peace and National Unity (Tasees) does not seek to divide or fragment Sudan, but rather to restructure the state on new foundations that ensure a just and lasting peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
