Sudanese Congress Party dismisses members over signing RSF-dominated charter
December 15, 2025 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese Congress Party (SCP) on Monday dismissed a group of members, including former North Darfur Governor Mohamed Hassan Arabi, for signing the charter of the ‘Tasis’ (Foundation) alliance.
The Tasis alliance, heavily influenced by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), had claimed the SCP signed its founding charter. The claim caused widespread controversy, prompting the SCP to issue statements condemning the move before dismissing the signatories.
The party’s General Secretariat released a statement confirming the dismissal of six individuals: “Abdallah Shams Al-Koun, Mahmoud Al-Wali, Abdullah Jali, Reham Sobhi, Mohamed Hassan Arabi, and Ahmed Ibrahim Ishaq.”
The Secretariat stressed that the group does not represent the Sudanese Congress Party, is not affiliated with its institutions, and does not express its official positions or decisions.
The SCP is part of the Democratic Civilian Forces Coalition of the Revolution’s Forces (Tagaddum/Samoud), led by former Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, which advocates for ending the war through peaceful means.
SCP spokesperson Nour Eldin Babiker denounced the Tasis alliance’s statement welcoming the alleged signing. He called the Tasis statement “false,” asserting it was an attempt to “steal the organization’s name and distort its peaceful struggle,” which is founded on civil and democratic work.
Babiker compared the Tasis statement to the behaviour of the former regime, describing it as an extension of the warring parties’ attempts to “pounce on civil forces and militarize the political sphere.”
He clarified that the party neither authorized nor approved any signing of the Tasis charter, stating the signatories acted only for themselves and “stole the name” of the SCP.
Babiker reiterated the party’s continued rejection of the war, its complete independence from the warring parties, and its commitment to ending the conflict through peaceful means.
Since the war began, most Sudanese political parties and alliances have faced splits and divisions based on their stance toward the conflict’s factions, with some groups backing the army or the RSF, while others insist on stopping the fighting.
