Tagadum to Participate in IGAD Summit to Address Sudan Crisis

The Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces (Tagadum) has confirmed its participation in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) summit, scheduled to take place on Thursday in Kampala, Uganda. The summit aims to address the ongoing crisis in Sudan, along with disputes between Somalia and Ethiopia.

Invitations were extended to key Sudanese leaders, including Chairman of the Sovereign Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Commander of the Rapid Support Forces (SRF) Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.

While al-Burhan boycotted the summit, Daglo has confirmed his attendance.

The Sudanese Foreign Ministry, however, has taken a strong stance against IGAD, by suspending ties with the organization, accusing IGAD of disrespecting its sovereignty by inviting Dagalo and including Sudan on the summit agenda without prior consultation with Khartoum.

It was gathered that former Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok will lead the delegation of several members of the coalition’s outreach committee participating in the IGAD summit.

The source added that the coalition would present its roadmap for resolving the crisis and the Addis Ababa Declaration signed with the RSF Commander to the East African bloc leaders tasked with resolving the conflict.
