BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The constitution formalizes a government for a "New Sudan" as they attempt to pull the legitimacy of the existing army-led government.

The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and allied groups have signed a transitional constitution on Tuesday that paves the way toward a parallel government.

The new constitution, led by the RSF, establishes a new government and draws the map for a federal, secular state that is split into eight regions and provides a bill of basic rights and the right to self-determination for some regions should they meet certain conditions, including not separating religion and state.

The constitution signed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the so-called Sudan People's Liberation Movement, among other signatories, outlines plans for a unified national army and elections during the transitional period, though it does not specify a timeline, while the RSF states that a new parallel government will be established in the coming weeks.

The Rapid Support Forces and its allies signed a charter on February 23 in Nairobi, Kenya, which was said to form a parallel "government of peace and unity", dismissing warnings that such a decision would solidify the division in war-torn Sudan.

The charter called for "a secular, democratic, decentralized state based on freedom, equality, and justice, without bias toward any cultural, ethnic, religious, or regional identity" while outlining "new, unified, professional, national army" with a new military doctrine that "reflects the diversity and plurality characterizing the Sudanese state."

The parallel government allegedly aims to address service gaps in areas controlled by the RSF and its allies: "Citizens in these regions have been cut off from essential services like the new banknotes issued by the army, passport processing, and document renewals," according to signatory Alaa El-Din Nuqd.

Before this signing, Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced plans to form a technocratic wartime government on February 9, while military sources told Reuters that the new government is set to be established once the army takes control over Khartoum.

Egypt asserted that it strongly opposes any actions that endanger the unity of Sudan, particularly attempts to create a parallel government, as such moves complicate the political landscape and obstruct efforts to unify Sudanese forces.
