South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...'s paramilitary RSF and a major rebel group, the SPLM-N, which may quit the bloc, sources said.
The dispute is stalling the formation of a government intended to rule areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its allies.
While alliance members agreed that RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, known as Hemetti, would head a presidential council, a rift emerged over the next most powerful role.
The sources said armed movements led by al-Hadi Idris and El-Tahir Hajer are blocking the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North's (SPLM-N) demand for the premiership.
''The SPLM-N will likely withdraw if it is denied the post,'' sources within the alliance told Sudan Tribune.
