The prime minister of the Sudan Founding Alliance government (TASIS), Mohamed Hassan Osman al-Ta’aishi, on Monday appointed three ministers, his first major step toward forming a cabinet.
In Decision No. 2 of 2025, al-Ta’aishi named Amar Amoun Deldoum as minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation, Suleiman Sandal Haggar as minister of interior, and Alaaeldin Awad Mohamed as minister of health, the Council of Ministers said. It is al-Ta’aishi’s second decree since taking office; a day after he was sworn in earlier this month, he appointed Goni Mustafa Abu Bakr Sharif as Sudan’s permanent representative to the United Nations.
TASIS groups the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North, the Sudan Liberation Movement-Transitional Council, the Sudan Liberation Forces Alliance, and allied political and civic actors under a transitional constitutional framework agreed after signing a political charter.
Who’s who — the TASIS cabinet picks
Amar Amoun Deldoum, foreign affairs
Secretary-General of SPLM-N/al-Hilu and a veteran negotiator from the Juba tracks. In June 2024 he warned Sudan was “hurtling toward collapse” without a political reset, repeatedly tying durable peace to a secular “New Sudan.” He led SPLM-N files shaping the 2019 negotiation agenda and in 2024 helped arrange humanitarian corridors into South Kordofan. Through 2024–25 he engaged civilian platforms, including co-signing the Nairobi Declaration with Taqaddum on shared principles such as a civil state and security-sector reform. He has backed airdrops when overland aid routes are blocked—signals of a pragmatic, humanitarian-minded diplomat.
Suleiman Sandal Haggar, interior
Long-time JEM figure, elected chair at the movement’s extraordinary conference in Addis Ababa on Aug. 30, 2023, amid a split with the Gibriel Ibrahim wing. He has pitched neutrality in the SAF–RSF war with an emphasis on civilian protection and called since late 2024 for a “revolutionary government” operating inside Sudan—framing an internal-order, hard-security brief. Public statements have criticized the Port Sudan junta and cast TASIS as a vehicle for democratic transition. Biographical accounts cite Darfuri origins (al-Tina), law studies in Khartoum, a stint in the police, and decades in JEM’s organizational ranks—experience aligned with policing, public security and tribal mediation.
Alaaeldin Awad Mohamed (also rendered Naqd/Nogoud), health
A leading hepatobiliary and transplant surgeon credited in Arabic press with launching a liver-transplant program at Ibn Sina Hospital in 2022, pledging free procedures for Sudanese patients. A frequent spokesperson/organizer with the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, he has highlighted wartime health-system collapse and the need for safe corridors. SAF intelligence detained him in Omdurman in May 2023, prompting wide condemnation before his release. His mix of frontline clinical credibility, union networks and media fluency positions him to mobilize diaspora clinicians and NGOs for surveillance, outbreak response and critical care during war.
