Commander of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo announced Tuesday the formation of a "parallel government," which he said will "represent a political charter and a historic transitional constitution for a new Sudan."



The "parallel government" will introduce new currencies and issue national identity documents, Dagalo said in a televised speech broadcast on Telegram, calling on the African Union to recognize the "parallel government."



The announcement coincides with the two-year anniversary of Sudan's war on Tuesday.



It also came almost two months after the RSF and its allied political and armed groups signed "a political charter" in Nairobi, Kenya, expressing intention to form a "parallel government" in Sudan.
