SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga – Former Sudan PM Hamdok confirmed as Tagadom president

31/5/2024: Radio Dabanga – Former Sudan PM Hamdok confirmed as Tagadom president

Radio Dabanga report that the founding conference of the Civil Democratic Forces (Tagadom) concluded with ex-Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok confirmed as the coalition’s president.

During the conference, some groups reportedly advocated forming a ‘shadow’ government in exile, while others reject this proposal. Participants agreed not to recognise the current de-facto government in Port Sudan, viewing it as “a war government promoting continued conflict”.

During a session chaired by El-Hadi Idris, of the Sudan Liberation Movement-Transitional Council (SLM-TC) faction and head of the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) alliance, some voices call for cancelling the Addis Ababa declaration signed between RSF and Tagadom in January 2024.

This recommendation was not approved, as the declaration “is seen as a step towards an agreement with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), requiring careful implementation by the RSF”.
