The Sudanese Declaration of Principles Forces, concluding their meetings in Nairobi, Kenya, reaffirmed their categorical rejection of any attempts to involve the National Congress Party (NCP), the Islamic Movement, or any of their affiliated entities in Sudan’s political process.
The coalition stated that what it described as the “terrorist system” bears primary responsibility for undermining the Sudanese state, fueling wars, and obstructing the country’s democratic transition, adding that it has no place in Sudan’s future.
The coalition—which includes the Samoud Alliance, the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdul Wahid al-Nur, the Ba’ath Party, the Popular Congress Party, and several other political and civil groups—also condemned the use of drones by both parties to the conflict and the targeting of civilian areas, infrastructure, and essential public services.
According to the meeting’s final communiqué, the coalition further expressed concern over the ongoing military confrontations in the city of El Obeid, as well as in the Kordofan, Darfur, and Blue Nile regions and other parts of the country.
The coalition renewed its support for documenting violations through independent international mechanisms and stressed the importance of monitoring and verifying all alleged crimes, including accusations of the use of chemical weapons, and holding those responsible accountable in accordance with international law. The final statement noted that the meeting reviewed recent developments in the political process.
The statement also acknowledged regional and international efforts to end the war but emphasized that the current approach to these initiatives requires fundamental review.
The coalition called for efforts to end the conflict to be restructured around the principles outlined in the roadmap adopted by the Quad Mechanism in September 2025.
It further urged closer coordination between the Quad Mechanism, the Quintet, and other regional and international peace initiatives.
