A new report published by The Africa Report reveals that the so-called \u201cTasis Government\u201d announced by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemeti) in Nyala last August represents a calculated attempt to legitimize the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and secure a role in Sudan\u2019s future political transition.<\/p>\n
According to the investigation, the coalition \u2014 made up of armed groups and civilian allies of the RSF \u2014 is seeking to impose a fait accompli similar to Khalifa Haftar\u2019s authority in eastern Libya or Somaliland\u2019s self-declared independence. To this end, the Tasis alliance has begun providing public services such as education, healthcare, and even issuing passports, in a bid to build parallel state institutions.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the report warns that implicit recognition of this entity could inspire similar breakaway models in neighboring countries, particularly Chad, where President Mahamat D\u00e9by\u2019s government could face a tribal rebellion mirroring Sudan\u2019s conflict. The risk is heightened by deep tensions between the Zaghawa community and Arab tribes straddling the Sudan\u2013Chad border.<\/p>\n
On the battlefield, the RSF is escalating its offensive to capture El Fasher, the last major stronghold of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in Darfur. Control of the city would mark a decisive shift in the conflict and directly threaten the Zaghawa population concentrated there.<\/p>\n
Regionally, the report reveals that General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has turned to supporting rebel groups in the Central African Republic and South Sudan to disrupt RSF supply lines of fuel, weapons, and mercenaries. This move risks expanding Sudan\u2019s war beyond its borders, raising concerns about regional destabilization.<\/p>\n
Bottom line: The Africa Report concludes that Hemeti\u2019s \u201cTasis Government\u201d is little more than a political fa\u00e7ade for the RSF, but one that carries unprecedented dangers \u2014 from the potential fragmentation of Sudan to the spread of instability across Central Africa, and even implications for migration flows and global power rivalries in the Red Sea corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
