The Federal Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance has announced that the National Construction Movement has formally joined its ranks after more than six months of talks and consultations.

Leaders from both sides said the decision aims to unify political forces and organisations that support a broader project of change in Sudan.

Tigani Al-Tahir Karshoum, head of the Federal Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance, described the accession as a unification of movements pursuing an agenda of political transformation.

“Bringing together forces committed to political change will strengthen the project and is particularly important at the current stage of the conflict,” he said.

“The alliance is working to establish a Sudanese state in which all citizens enjoy equal rights and responsibilities, with citizens able to reclaim their rights to public services, dignified living conditions and access to the country’s resources.”

Karshoum added that the alliance seeks a federal system that would give citizens greater authority over the management of their own affairs.

He said earlier efforts to unify revolutionary forces had contributed to the formation of the Founding Sudan Alliance, a project built on sacrifice, struggle and collective action.

He also stated that the “margins’ revolution is continuing” in pursuit of a just and comprehensive peace that addresses the root causes of Sudan’s crisis and creates a state in which citizens have equal access to healthcare, education, water and other essential services.

Hani Bakri, representing the National Construction Movement, said the decision to join was based on shared objectives and principles, as well as the alliance’s membership in the Founding Sudan Alliance.

He highlighted the alliance’s stated commitment to political pluralism, diversity, freedom, dialogue, participation, openness to criticism and accountability.

“The movement remains committed to pursuing peace and working to alleviate the suffering of Sudanese people, while contributing to efforts to address the effects of racism, exclusion and corruption,” Bakri said.

In a concluding statement, Dr Suad Qadim said the National Construction Movement’s accession marked the end of more than six months of dialogue during which the two sides discussed their visions, objectives, programmes and mechanisms for cooperation.

“The movement has now become part of the Federal Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance’s political journey and a partner in its national project,” she said, adding that the move would expand political and organisational cooperation aimed at shaping Sudan’s future.
