Ahmed Haroun, President of the National Congress Party of Sudan, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and genocide in the Darfur region, has been arrested by the Sudanese army. Haroun, who was a senior Islamic official during Omar al-Bashir's regime, had been living secretly for years and is now under military pressure.
Background of Haroun and Allegations
Ahmed Haroun is heavily pursued for his role in war crimes in Darfur in the early 2000s. He considers the allegations against him to be political and has always claimed that these accusations arose from political disagreements with various entities. In a recent interview, he pointed out that the National Congress Party and the army may not be politically aligned, but they are united in the internal war in Sudan against the paramilitary forces known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Impacts of Haroun's Arrest
Haroun's arrest by the Sudanese army has raised many questions about the reasons for this action and its implications for the political and military situation in the country. Officials from the National Congress Party have confirmed that Haroun has been arrested, but it is still unclear why the army has attacked one of its allies. These developments occur at a time when internal conflicts have created a humanitarian crisis in Sudan, turning the country into one of the world's critical hotspots.
The internal conflicts in Sudan, which have lasted for more than three years, have led to ethnic massacres, famine, and mass displacements. This humanitarian crisis has also attracted the attention of foreign countries, with the United Nations calling it the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. Islamic parties in Sudan, including the National Congress Party, have assisted the army in advancing military operations against the RSF, and these collaborations have exacerbated the conflicts and their humanitarian consequences.
