Tagadum
Civilian coalition in Sudan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sudanese Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces (Tagadum)[1][2] (Arabic: تنسيقية القوى المدنية الديمقراطية السودانية (تقدم)) was a pro-civilian-power coalition in Sudan which is involved in peace negotiations in the War in Sudan.[3] Taqaddum claims to be neutral in the conflict.[4] The coalition was founded in October 2023.[5] It is led by former Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.[6] In January 2024, Hamdok met the leader of the Rapid Support Forces Mohamed Hamdan Daglo in Addis Ababa.[7] In April 2024, Hamdok met with President of France Emmanuel Macron in Paris.[8]

On 24 September 2024, the Attorney-General of Sudan, Fath Al-Tayfour, formally accused Abdallah Hamdok and 15 other leaders of the Tagadum coalition of complicity in war crimes and genocide committed by the RSF and called for a red notice to be issued by Interpol. The Tagadum denied the charges.[9] That same month, Tagadum's lawyer, Montaser Abdullah was abducted; he was later found the following month in prison having been charged with the same crimes. He was acquitted and released in October 2025.[10]
Tagadum announced its dissolution on 10 February 2025,[11] with Hamdok forming a new body, known as the Civil Democratic Alliance of the Forces of the Revolution (Sumoud), the following day.[12] A rival Rapid Support Forces allied political movement, the Sudan Founding Alliance was formed a week later in Nairobi, Kenya.
