Pushing for dialogue while controlling the territory where that dialogue would happen isn't a real political process. The Somoud Alliance is right to walk away, because holding talks in military-controlled zones papers over what's actually an undeclared partition of Sudan. Any framework built on that foundation isn't reconciliation; it's rubber-stamping military dominance.
Sudan's army has retaken Khartoum and is now offering the broadest political opening the country has seen in years — bringing in tribal leaders, resistance committees, technocrats and civil society to shape what comes next. Excluding armed factions like the RSF while welcoming civilian voices is the clearest path Sudan has toward civilian democratic government.
