Conflicting statements warning of a major split between the leaders of the Islamic “National Congress” Party have been circulating. The Party ruled Sudan under the leadership of Omar Al-Bashir for thirty years, before being overthrown by a popular revolution in April (2019). Sources stated that a dispute had come to light between the (Political Prisoners) group led by Ahmed Haroun and the (T\u00fcrkiye) group led by Party leader Ibrahim Mahmoud. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Party had split for the first time during its years in power, when a group led by Al-Bashir and a group led by the late Hassan Al-Turabi, the godfather of the Islamic Movement in Sudan, clashed. That subsequent split was known at the time as the “separation”.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the two conflicting groups now agree on their support for the Army in its war against the Rapid Support Forces, while many see the Islamic “National Congress” Party as the main obstacle in the path of negotiations to stop the war, as it wishes to return to power again through an alliance with the Army. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Party originally came to power in (1989) through a military coup that was denied by a group of Islamist officers within the Army, when they overthrew a democratically elected government.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following the return of Party leader Ibrahim Mahmoud from T\u00fcrkiye, conflicts emerged between the Party\u2019s former leaders; as the Party\u2019s leadership office, loyal to Ibrahim Mahmoud, accused, in a statement on Wednesday evening, (leaders), whom it didn’t name, of being involved in a conspiracy that led to the fall of the Party\u2019s rule in (2019), and also of seeking to split the Party by calling for a meeting of the \u201cParty\u2019s Shura Council,\u201d in a blatant violation of the Party\u2019s internal regulations and the decisions of its institutions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDividing the Party\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The leadership office decided, as shared in a statement according to (Asharq Al-Awsat), not to recognize any decisions issued following the Shura Council meeting, considering them a violation of the basic regulations, and asked the Shura Council members not to respond to the invitation, to avoid \u201cbreaking the Party\u2019s ranks.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ibrahim Mahmoud faction includes former leader Nafie Ali Nafie and the so-called (T\u00fcrkiye) Group, in addition to a number of leaders, most notably of whom is Al-Bashir\u2019s former deputy, Al-Hajj Adam. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The second group is headed by the Party leader who was appointed by Al-Bashir as his deputy a few days before the fall of his regime, namely Ahmed Mohamed Haroun. This group includes the Secretary-General of the Islamic Movement, Ali Ahmed Karti, and Omar Al-Bashir himself. They are referred to as the \u201cPolitical Prisoners\u201d group who were arrested after the fall of Al-Bashir\u2019s regime, and then released from prison after the war broke out on April 15th, 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For its part, the \u201cPolitical Prisoners\u201d group called for a meeting of the Shura Council, but Ibrahim Mahmoud\u2019s group believes that the meeting <\/span><\/span>should be held periodically and exceptionally at the request of a third of its members, which isn’t possible due to the war. In addition, the Executive Office adopts the directives issued by the Shura Council.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The latter group stipulated that membership be revised, ending the membership of those who belonged to another party, especially the \u201cFuture Movement Party,\u201d which was established by members of the \u201cNational Congress\u201d to be a new front for them, claiming that the time isn’t appropriate for the Shura Council to convene; Because its membership is busy fighting alongside the Army, and holding the meeting will create sharp polarization among the membership, threatening the unity of the Party.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Conspiracy Against the Party <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The statement directed an implicit accusation at the other group of conspiring against the Party, which ended with the fall of its rule, the imprisonment of its leaders, and preventing it from accessing its financial resources, stating: \u201cThey’re currently putting forth efforts to split the Party\u2019s unity by insisting<\/span><\/span> on holding a meeting of the Shura Council,\u201d and <\/span><\/span>called on them to focus on the battle against the Rapid Support Forces, threatening not to recognize a meeting of the Shura Council.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In what can only be described as \u201cgoing with the flow,\u201d the head of the Shura Council, Osman Mohamed Youssef Kibir, announced the postponement of the Council\u2019s meeting due to what he referred to as polarization and disagreements among the membership, under the pretext that the circumstances require unity of ranks and unification of efforts to support the Army. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, leaks on the page of the Islamic leader Ammar Al-Sajjad shared that the Shura Council held its meeting in complete secrecy and chose Ahmed Haroun as president, and considered the statement of the leadership office a departure from the Party hierarchy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ashraf Abdel Aziz, editor-in-chief of Al-<\/span><\/span>Jareeda<\/span><\/span>newspaper and former Islamist, attributes the conflict within the National Congress Party to organizational imbalances that began in the last days of Al-Bashir\u2019s rule, who appointed Ahmed Haroun as the Party\u2019s deputy chairman. After Al-Bashir\u2019s rule fell and he was imprisoned, the Shura Council appointed former Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour as the Party\u2019s Chairman, and <\/span><\/span>shortly after his arrest, the Council appointed Ibrahim Mahmoud as the Party\u2019s Chairman.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leaders Released from Prison <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abdel Aziz told (Asharq Al-Awsat) that the conflict over the Party\u2019s leadership began when Ahmed Haroun and the rest of the detained leaders were released from prison after the war broke out. With Al-Bashir\u2019s disappearance from the spotlight, his deputy Ahmed Haroun is the Party\u2019s de facto chairman, while Ibrahim Mahmoud insists that he was appointed by the Shura Council, the Party\u2019s highest body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his explanation of the reasons for the conflict, Abdel Aziz believes that Ibrahim Mahmoud\u2019s faction wants to \u201cget rid of the heavy burden\u201d of the group, which faces \u201ccriminal charges\u201d domestically and internationally; As they’re facing trial for masterminding the June (1989) Coup, and three of them \u2013Omar Al-Bashir, Ahmed Haroun and Abdel Rahim Hussein\u2013 are wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), in addition to facing domestic charges.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
