Formed in 1994 as a democratic, secular, non-regional party, the SNA was one of the four original members of the National Democratic Alliance, the coalition of Northern groups and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in opposition to the al-Bashir government in Khartoum.
During the 1990s, the Sudan Alliance Forces, the armed wing of the SNA, conducted a number of low-level military attacks against Sudanese forces inside the country.
Subsequently, the SNA joined the political process in Khartoum.
Khalid ran as the SNA candidate for president in the April 2010 election and received 0.34 percent of the vote.
