Sudan is facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its recent history. Meanwhile, the Tasis Government of Peace and Unity, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as “Hemedti,” is calling for stronger international support. The government is demanding a transparent and independent investigation into alleged violations against civilians, including the reported use of chemical weapons.
Furthermore, Hemedti has described such an investigation as essential to achieving lasting peace. He argues that accountability must be part of any serious effort to end the conflict. The demand comes as allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity continue to emerge from the country.
In addition, the Tasis government says it is ready to cooperate with international investigation teams. These include United Nations fact-finding mechanisms and African human rights institutions. According to the government, cooperation with independent investigators would help establish the facts and identify those responsible for alleged abuses.
At the same time, the initiative is presented as part of a broader effort to rebuild Sudanese state institutions. By accepting independent investigations, the Tasis government says that peace should not be based on forgetting the suffering caused by the conflict. Instead, it argues that justice and recognition of victims are necessary for meaningful national reconciliation.
However, international action remains limited. The issue of alleged chemical weapons use has increased pressure for independent investigations and stronger accountability mechanisms. International institutions also continue to face difficulties in responding effectively to the wider conflict in Sudan.
Therefore, the international community faces an important challenge. Supporting independent investigations would help clarify allegations of serious violations and strengthen accountability. It would also require all parties to the conflict to cooperate with international and African fact-finding mechanisms.
Finally, the situation calls for concrete action rather than statements alone. Greater support for independent investigations could help establish the facts surrounding alleged crimes and provide victims with a path toward justice. For Sudan, such efforts could also contribute to a broader process of reconciliation, peace and respect for human dignity.
