The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-Revolutionary Democratic Front on Monday, March 30, rejected the unilateral move leading to the reactivation of the Empowerment Removal Committee, arguing that the decision lacked consensus within the “Somoud” coalition.
Led by Yasir Arman, the group stressed that national priorities should centre on addressing Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis and protecting civilians, rather than pursuing political restructuring.
The movement, which suspended its participation in coalition activities in July 2025, criticised the decision-making process, noting that the committee’s restoration was neither approved by coalition leadership nor discussed within its institutions.
The Committee, chaired by Mohamed al-Faki Suleiman, has resumed operations four years after its dissolution following the October 2021 Sudan coup, though its enforcement capacity amid the ongoing conflict remains uncertain.
While reaffirming the importance of dismantling the former regime’s influence, the SPLM-RDF said the current war demands urgent focus on ceasefire efforts and humanitarian interventions, including facilitating aid delivery, restoring essential services, and protecting civilian infrastructure.
