The Sudanese Forces for the Declaration of Principles will hold a meeting on Tuesday in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, to discuss developments in the war in Sudan and review the course of the political process, amid escalating fighting on several fronts and a worsening humanitarian crisis, as part of efforts to unify regional and international mediation initiatives aimed at ending the conflict.

The forces said in a statement at the opening of the meeting that participants will discuss developments in the military, humanitarian, and political situations, in addition to assessing the course of regional and international mediations, and working to address shortcomings that faced the political process by formulating a unified approach that coordinates international and regional pressures to stop the war, protect civilians, deliver humanitarian aid, and launch a Sudanese-owned political dialogue that addresses the roots of the crisis and leads to a sustainable settlement.

It affirmed its adherence to its position rejecting a military solution, stressing that ending the war requires cooperation among civil and democratic forces opposed to the conflict, along with continued coordination with regional and international partners to reach a settlement that preserves Sudan’s unity and sovereignty and establishes a new social contract based on peace, freedom, and justice.

The meeting is a continuation of consultations hosted by Nairobi last May, which saw the signing of the 'Declaration of Principles for Building a New Homeland' with the participation of alliances, political parties, civil forces, and public figures.

The closing statement of that meeting affirmed adherence to the 'New Homeland' project based on the principles of freedom, peace, and justice, and called for forming a broad civil front to oppose the war and restore the democratic transition path, while rejecting any political process that grants immunity from accountability to those responsible for violations or war crimes.

The signatories of the Declaration of Principles also called for unifying the regional and international platforms concerned with the Sudanese crisis within a single negotiating track based on the roadmap issued by the Quad in September 2025, considering that the multiplicity of initiatives has weakened the chances of reaching a political settlement and prolonged the war.

The forces that signed the declaration held the National Congress Party and the Islamic Movement (the Muslim Brotherhood) responsible for the outbreak of the war on April 15, 2023, and its continuation, considering that the conflict represents an attempt to abort the democratic transition path that began after the December 2018 revolution.
