TASIS: Sudan in a No-State Situation as Port Sudan Authority’s Rhetoric Collapses into Racism and Corruption

Khartoum – Blue News

The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has issued a sharp condemnation of what it calls the “illegitimate Port Sudan authority,” accusing it of leading an apartheid regime that is actively dismantling the state, fueling ethnic hatred, and orchestrating systemic corruption amid Sudan’s deepening crisis.

In a hard-hitting statement, TASIS said the Islamist movement, through its grip on the army, deliberately ignited the war on April 15, 2023, in a calculated attempt to regain power. While General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan initially labeled the conflict a “senseless war,” an audio leak from Ahmed Haroun – a fugitive wanted by the International Criminal Court – later revealed the war as a “dignity war” for the former ruling National Congress Party (NCP), not for Sudan.

TASIS alleged that the Sudanese army, with the backing of Islamist militias, used internationally banned chemical weapons in Khartoum, Omdurman, Bahri, Wad Madani, and parts of Darfur, leading to alarming outbreaks of disease and documented environmental degradation.

“Sudan today is plagued by epidemics, famine, forced displacement, and systemic racism – all under the shadow of an Islamist-controlled military regime,” the statement said. It criticized the military-appointed Health Minister, who previously claimed that $50 million was allocated for medicine. “Where is the medicine?” TASIS asked, calling it a lie amid widespread shortages and suffering.

The alliance further condemned recent acts of forced eviction in Al-Khairat village, East Nile locality, where homes of citizens originally from western Sudan were demolished based on what TASIS described as racial profiling. These acts, it said, align with the so-called “Strange Faces Law,” which the Port Sudan authority is allegedly using to legitimize ethnic cleansing and social division.

“The Port Sudan regime is an apartheid entity, propped up by a propaganda machine funded by looted public wealth while ordinary Sudanese face hunger, illness, and despair,” TASIS charged.

The alliance called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to stop channeling aid through the current authorities, and to instead establish an independent international committee to oversee humanitarian distribution – ensuring aid reaches the people and not the black market or military elites.

“It’s time for Sudanese people and the world to face the truth about these so-called leaders: they have stolen, killed, and deceived in the name of the Sudanese army,” the statement concluded.
