Sudanese politicians believe that the death of the “Emir of the Mujahideen” in the battles of Kordofan is not a mere passing breakthrough in the course of the conflict, but represents a turning point revealing precise details about the evolution of extremism within the Port Sudan forces.
The death of the Islamist emir highlighted the close ties between these forces and radical Islamist groups, and showed the involvement of the Islamist movement in managing and financing the war; reflecting the continued influence of the “Islamist movement” in the unfolding of events in Sudan.
Experts affirm that the death of the “Emir of the Mujahideen” paves the way for a comprehensive review of the history of the Port Sudan forces and reveals their long-standing relations with terrorist activities.
A history of terrorism
In this context, the adviser to the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Yaacoub Abdelkarim Nourine, stated that the Port Sudan forces are currently composed of “terrorists” and that their history with them is long. Everyone knows that Khartoum hosted many of their leaders, some of whom participated in wars including Afghanistan, which is documented and undeniable.
Nourine added to Erm News that the death of the Emir of the Mujahideen is not the first and will not be the last, as many of them act according to the directives of the “Islamist movement” which controls the Port Sudan forces and their financial resources, including the security services, intelligence, and the operations division, in addition to financing terrorism.
He explained that the history of terrorism is old and has continued since 1989, and that the death of the “Emir of the Mujahideen” revealed all the truths about the Port Sudan forces, opening the door to digging up their past and the many cross-border incidents.
Nourine concluded by stressing that extremist fighters dominate the scene and control the continuation of the war, financing the Port Sudan forces by more than 80%.
The death of a famous emir
For his part, the specialist in Islamist movements, Salah Hassan Jomaa, stated that Ali Dafallah Didan belongs to the first generation of brigades of the Islamist movement and that he was killed in the battles of January 15, 2026, in Kordofan, in the eastern mountains of the Habila region, where clashes are taking place between the “Tassis” coalition, which includes the Rapid Support Forces and the Popular Movement-North led by “Al-Hilu.”
Jomaa added to Erm News that Didan was leading the Islamist brigades in these battles as their emir. After the announcement of his death, jihadist organizations and brigades as well as Islamist leaders rushed to mourn him.
He explained that some members of the “Al-Barq Al-Khatif” brigade mourned him in the name of the Port Sudan forces, a clear proof that those who direct and control the decision of war in Sudan are the Islamists, remnants of the “former regime” that has resurfaced, now dominates, manages the war, and maneuvers in the forums organized by the international community for truce and peace.
Jomaa indicated that Didan had participated in the civil war between the North and the South in the 1990s and that he was close to Ahmed Haroun, a well-known Islamist wanted by the International Criminal Court along with other Islamists. This is also proof and a response to Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, who repeatedly denies the presence of Islamists.
Fetal deformities
He pointed out that what the public does not know about Didan is that he caused the contamination of thousands of residents of Telodi, Kologi, and Al-Liri in South Kordofan with cancer, by polluting the soil with cyanide and mercury through his gold mining activity. He held mining concessions in those areas, destroying the environment under the protection of the Port Sudan forces, and repeatedly arresting citizens who called for an end to his destructive activity, from which he profited by causing congenital malformations and spreading cancers that decimated the state’s population.
He specified that Didan did not stop at repressing citizens, but also arrested women and children during the last protest against him in October in the city of Telodi, among them 13 women, 6 children, and dozens of young people who expressed their opposition to his mining activity under the protection of the Port Sudan forces.
He added that with the death of the terrorist Didan, thousands of victims of his toxic activity can finally breathe, and the lands of South Kordofan regain their vitality, on a day when the gold he had accumulated will be of no use to him.
He concluded by affirming that with his death, the Islamists lost a leader who led their ranks in the fight against the Rapid Support Forces, and that he will be difficult to replace for them, as he possessed great military experience, having participated in many battles.
The end of terrorism’s leaders
He indicated that Didan had risen through the ranks until he became governor of the city of Telodi and was a leader in the movements of South Kordofan.
For his part, political analyst Othman Najimi considered that Didan’s death is not the only proof that the Muslim Brotherhood are the main fighters in the ranks of Port Sudan, explaining that the majority of the Port Sudan forces are extremist Islamists.
Najimi added to Erm News that Didan is just one among many, from the top of the hierarchy down to “Yasser Al-Atta and Kabashi,” and others, noting the presence of a large number of them within the armed forces of Port Sudan, holding high-ranking positions.
He confirmed that the death of the Emir of the Mujahideen was the result of a precise targeting by the Tassis forces and the Rapid Support Forces, noting that Didan was one of the biggest and most dangerous terrorists in Kordofan, and before that in the southern war; which means that his death is a very great gain and an advanced step in eliminating terrorism, especially its major leaders.
