On July 20, 2025, an alliance of armed groups backed by the Rapid Support Forces announced a parallel government based in Nyala, Darfur. This coalition, comprising 24 member groups, aims to create a governing structure that represents Sudan's peripheral regions.
The Rapid Support Forces have gained control of much of western Sudan since the conflict escalated in April 2023 but face significant challenges, including internal power struggles and military pressure from the Sudanese army. Despite efforts to gain international recognition, such as alliances with neighboring countries, the group's legitimacy remains contested. An arms embargo and a new political process are critical to mitigate further deterioration of the situation.
