"We are not building a parallel state. We are building the only realistic future for Sudan," said RSF leader Mohamed Hamdani Daglo aka Hemedti, in a speech shared on the group's Telegram channel.

it was no different from the one initially signed in Nairobi as a "peace charter" to create a decentralised federal system, a unified professional army, a secular state and a 15-member presidential council.

[Source is in English (The EastAfrican); Hemedti's underlying speech was in Arabic. Editorial context, not a translation.] Declared political vision of Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo ("Hemedti"), commander of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and president of the RSF-led "Founding" (Tasis) Alliance. In March 2025 the alliance signed a transitional constitution in Nairobi declaring Sudan a secular, democratic, decentralised (federal) state that separates religion from politics; on 1 July 2025 it announced a parallel government, with Hemedti declaring that the RSF is "not building a parallel state" but "the only realistic future for Sudan." The second quoted excerpt summarizes that charter's aims (a decentralised federal system, a unified professional army, a secular state, and a 15-member presidential council). This documents the RSF's stated political program (democracy, secularism, federalism) — which stands in sharp contrast to its behavioral record: the United States has designated Hemedti and the RSF for genocide and atrocities in the 2023– civil war, and the UN called the Nairobi charter a "dangerous escalation." [Axes: democracy, state-religion (secularism), federalism, regime-stance.]
