Dr. Alaaeldin: Sudan’s Future Lies in Justice, Not the Return of the Old Regime
Khartoum – Bule New
In a sweeping and pointed critique of Sudan’s current political and military landscape, Dr. Alaaeldin, a key member of the TASIS Alliance, has accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of serving as a political tool for the return of the ousted Islamist regime of Omar al-Bashir and his party, the National Congress Party (NCP), rooted in Muslim Brotherhood (MB) ideology.
In a series of statements, Dr. Alaaeldin said the SAF has ceased to be a national army, describing it as the military wing of the MB/NCP, complicit in undermining Sudan’s democratic transition. According to him, during the transitional period following the 2018 revolution, MB/NCP operatives embedded themselves in political parties, unions, resistance committees, security forces, and even within the RSF (Rapid Support Forces), sowing mistrust and chaos until they orchestrated the October 25, 2021 military coup and eventually ignited the war on April 15, 2023.
RSF Role Misrepresented, SAF’s True Agenda Exposed
Dr. Alaaeldin sought to correct what he called a deliberate misinformation campaign that painted the RSF as Janjaweed militias. He claimed that while the RSF was originally formed under the Bashir regime, it later broke ranks with the MB/NCP, siding with the people’s will in 2018, during the transition, and in the 2022 Framework Agreement aimed at restoring civilian rule.
He pointed to a history of manipulation by MB-aligned officers inside both the RSF and SAF, highlighting their roles in the 2019 sit-in massacre and the co-opting of RSF into the 2021 coup. Dr. Alaaeldin stated that the RSF’s commander later regretted his role in the coup, and was working to reestablish the transition until SAF “deliberately reignited war to halt progress and reinstall Islamist rule.”
SAF Practices Racial Segregation, Crushes Dissent
Dr. Alaaeldin leveled serious allegations against the SAF, labeling the current de facto military-led government as an “apartheid regime”. He accused SAF of targeting civilians from marginalized groups, issuing arrest warrants against December 2018 revolutionaries, and implementing policies that deprive Sudanese of education, healthcare, and civil rights under what he described as a “strange faces law.”
He also revealed that neighboring countries had provided platforms for civilian peace actors to coordinate efforts to stop the war—initiatives the SAF regime has responded to with hostility, launching verbal and political attacks against regional states that expose SAF’s true nature.
TASIS: A New Political Vision from Within Sudan
TASIS, the political movement Dr. Alaaeldin represents, offers what he described as a groundbreaking declaration and constitution that breaks away from Sudan’s historical elite dominance. It confronts core structural injustices that previous documents and regimes ignored—chief among them the imposition of Arab-Islamic identity at the expense of Sudan’s cultural and ethnic diversity.
Rejecting claims that TASIS seeks to divide Sudan, Dr. Alaaeldin said, “We are morally obligated to serve those whom the regime deprived of their rights. This is not secession—this is justice.”
He added that TASIS will declare its government from within Sudan, not from exile, dismissing the narrative that the RSF are Janjaweed or that the SAF represents Sudan as “pure propaganda.”
Call for Civil-Military Balance and Return to African Roots
Dr. Alaaeldin emphasized that true national stabilization requires cooperation between civilians and military actors, where each respects their institutional boundaries. He insisted that the SAF will not pursue peace willingly unless under intense military, political, popular, and diplomatic pressure.
Finally, he called for Sudan to reconnect with its African identity and neighbors, distancing itself from the ideological and geopolitical entanglements of the Bashir-era regime. “Sudan must return to the African homeland with a new, healthy, and positive outlook,” he said.
