Sudan's Rapid Support Forces and its allies agreed on Sunday to form a parallel government in areas controlled by the paramilitary. The agreement signed said the charter will lead to the establishment of a "government of peace and unity" in rebel-controlled areas,

Over 20 political parties, 10 civil organizations, and 5 military groups led by RSF were among the signatories.

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied political and armed groups have signed a charter to establish a parallel government, in a move that risks deepening the country’s fragmentation amid a nearly two-year civil war. The agreement, signed late on Saturday in Kenya, aims to create a “government of peace and unity.”

The formation of this administration had long been hinted from last year as Nairobi pushed for a third track to halt war in Sudan.

The RSF has seized most of the western Darfur region and swathes of the Kordofan region in an almost-two-year war, but is being pushed back from central Sudan by the Sudanese army.

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and its allies have agreed to set up a parallel government, sources said Sunday, despite warnings such a move could further fragment the war-ravaged country.A spokesman for UN chief Antonio Guterres warned the move could "increase the fragmentation of the country and risk making this crisis even worse".
