Although the founders of the Justice and Equality Movement had strong links to the Islamic movement in Sudan, it has claimed not to be a religiously-based movement. In January 2013 the Justice and Equality Movement signed the New Dawn Charter, along with a number of other armed movements and political opposition groups. This Charter recognises the religious diversity of Sudan, and commits the groups to a separation of religion from state institutions.
