Several civilian administration leaders have welcomed a decision by the head of the Presidential Council, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, to revoke the Civilian Administration Charter and dissolve the administrations.
They also praised the achievements of the civilian administration and its contribution in filling the administrative vacuum during the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Ibrahim Musa Hassan, a journalist, told Radio Tamazuj that the decision to dissolve the civilian administrations had come at the right time to improve performance and complete the structures of the authority.
“The civilian administration was established to fill the administrative vacuum created when state governors moved to Port Sudan in 2024,” he explained. “The idea of forming a civilian authority was then considered following consultations among native administration leaders, young people, community initiatives and the RSF.”
“An agreement was reached on the appointment of heads of civilian administrations in the Darfur states and West Kordofan State,” Musa added.
He noted that the civilian administration was responsible for providing basic services, maintaining security, reopening markets and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
The deputy chairperson of the East Darfur State Constituent Council said the civilian governments had been established under exceptional and highly complex circumstances.
However, he said, their executive, legislative and judicial bodies had succeeded in carrying out state functions. Executive officials had worked to provide services, while legislators had drafted and passed laws and approved the annual budgets for 2025 and 2026.
Meanwhile, Abdel-Nasser Adam Khamis, head of the Legal Committee of the South Darfur State Constituent Council, welcomed the revocation of the Civilian Administration Charter.
“The decision has come at an appropriate time and is intended to complete the structures of the authority, as stipulated in the Nairobi Declaration, which laid the foundations and principles for governance in Sudan,” he said.
Adam also said the civilian administrations had demonstrated their ability to function by working to provide basic services, maintain security and deliver humanitarian assistance to people affected by the conflict.
