Therefore, Salah Abdallah Mohamed Salah is considered to be a leader
among the hardliner elements of the former Al-Bashir regime, who is
responsible for security and military-related efforts and is embedded in the
structures of the SAF. His ideological ties to the former Al-Bashir regime,
and in particular to the National Congress Party (NCP) are a strong driver
of the narrative that fuels the war against the opposing front, namely the
Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Salah Abdallah Mohamed Salah has therefore been involved in actions that
threaten the peace, stability or security of Sudan and in actions
undermining the efforts to resume the political transition in Sudan.
