Sudanese civilian coalition to unveil new roadmap to end war

March 3, 2025 (ADDIS ABABA) – The Democratic Civilian Coalition for the Revolutionary Forces “Smoud” intends to present a new political vision and roadmap to end the war in Sudan in the coming days.

The Coordination of Democratic Civilian Forces, known as “Tagadum,” dissolved on February 10 after disagreements among its members regarding the declaration of a parallel government in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Subsequently, those who opposed the formation of the government established Smoud on February 11, led by former Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.

Speaking to Sudan Tribune, Smoud spokesman Bakry Eljack said the coalition’s general secretariat decided in its meeting on Sunday to present a new political vision and roadmap to end the war in the coming days.

Eljack confirmed that the political vision aims to stop the war by mobilizing civilian efforts and diplomatic action to activate the role of mediation, in addition to engaging with the warring parties.

“The coalition will announce its vision and roadmap in the near future,” he added.

The Smoud spokesman revealed that the general secretariat formed a committee to review the organizational structures in its meeting, guided by the experience of the Tagadum Coordination.

Tagadum was established in October 2023 to form the broadest coalition against the war, work to achieve peace and restore the civilian transition.
