The joint force of the armed movements is facing a sharp division as the Sudanese army seeks to turn it in its favor in the open confrontation with the Rapid Support Forces.
Observers said that the worsening crisis within the joint force is mainly due to the attempt of pro-army movements to impose their vision by engaging in the conflict, and these movements have worked to attract fighters of conservative movements to fight alongside the army.
The Sudan Liberation Movement, led by a member of the Sovereignty Council, Al-Hadi Idris, announced its withdrawal from the joint force, and attributed this decision to the defection of a group affiliated with it led by Lieutenant Colonel Abdeen Musa, and its resort to the Sudanese army in the city of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State, describing the movement as treason and a violation of the movement’s decisions and the spirit of the Juba Agreement.
A senior commander in the joint force said a stormy meeting of the joint force’s command and control body on Sunday was called by the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) to discuss the issue of the group’s escape and shelter in command of the army in the Sixth Infantry Division.
The military spokesperson for the Transitional Council, Ahmed Jado, stated that the main reasons for their withdrawal from the joint force are administrative issues and internal arrangements, in addition to the inability of the leadership to regain control of the military vehicles that were lost under the responsibility of the Command-and-Control Authority within the joint force.
Jado explained that the decision to withdraw was made with full agreement and understanding from the leadership of the joint force, and that the movement would return to contribute to securing the arrival of humanitarian convoys and protecting civilians once the stolen vehicles are recovered.
The joint force was formed under the sponsorship of the Governor of Darfur, Mini Arkou Minawi, and consists of five components: the Sudan Liberation Army led by Minawi, the Sudanese Justice and Equality Movement led by Jibril Ibrahim, the Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance led by Al-Tahir Hajir, in addition to the Sudan Liberation Army Transitional Council led by Al-Hadi Idris, and the Sudanese Alliance led by Khamees Abkar.
It is noteworthy that the aim of the establishment of the joint force is to fill the security vacuum in the Darfur region in western Sudan, where these forces work to protect the property of citizens in the markets and secure the route of delivery of humanitarian aid and commercial convoys coming from Port Sudan to Darfur.
