Both the army-backed government and RSF-backed alliance are rewarding loyal armed groups. Prime Minister Kamil Idris sought to appoint technocrats to the civilian cabinet but was overruled by army leader Abdelfattah al-Burhan who retained powerful Darfur leaders in their positions. This decision allows them to control government revenue. Meanwhile, the RSF has formed a coalition, declaring its intent to create a parallel government to represent all of Sudan. Analysts note these factions are appeasing militia demands to maintain their alliances amid ongoing conflict.
Abdelfattah al-Burhan overruled Prime Minister Kamil Idris to keep leaders Gebreil Ibrahim and Mini Arko Minawi in their ministerial posts, conceding to powerful armed groups from Darfur.
The RSF-backed coalition has distinct ambitions, having already revealed its leadership council featuring prominent leaders of various armed factions, signaling a push for a parallel government.
After two years of civil war, Sudan has been effectively divided, with enemies forming alliances to maintain control and meet the demands of their respective militias.
The announcement of an alliance between RSF and the SPLM-N showcases a shift in dynamics within the region as unexpected partnerships begin to form in the conflict.
