Sudan between the jaws of pliers
It is no coincidence that the Sudan issue and its pain do not enjoy the declared Arab sympathy and bias, with the exception of some parties and popular movements in this or that Arab country, even though Sudan occupies a high position in the consciences of Arabs, all Arabs, since the three No’s of Khartoum and the wisdom of the veiled Sudanese leader, in the face of defeat June and its humiliation in front of the colony’s expansion and its occupation of more Arab lands for Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt in 1967.
The people of Sudan bear the suffering and pay the price for the control of the military and their coup initiatives, whether in the failure of 17 times since independence in 1956, or their success in the coup and control of the initiatives of Ibrahim Abboud, Jaafar Nimeiri and Omar Al-Bashir, and the three occupied more than half a century for their individual powers.
And here are the two generals Abdel Fattah Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo Hamidti agreeing to pounce on their former president, Omar al-Bashir, and he pays the price for his choices not to respond directly to the voice of the popular uprising on his own, so he is dismissed and arrested by those who made them, in response to the popular uprising and the American decision.
General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the commander of the army, assumed power due to his position within the military institution. As for General Hamidti, Omar al-Bashir created him based on security experience gained from Iran’s experience with the presence of two institutions: 1- The Iranian army, 2- The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and this is how Omar al-Bashir did in Sudan by creating two institutions. In order for either of them to turn the coup against him, he formed the Rapid Intervention and Deterrence Forces, in order to parallel the army, and carry out the tasks of deterring popular or armed protests in areas of hot clashes, from Darfur and elsewhere.
The two generals agreed to dismiss Al-Bashir, and they shared power as head of the ruling military council and vice-president. Visions, interests, and aspirations clashed, and a disaster occurred, for which the people of Sudan are paying.
The majority of the Arab peoples sympathize with their brotherly people in Sudan, whether they are Arabs or Africans, Muslims or Christians, brown or black. The Sudanese person is Sudanese, the homeland, the cause and the affiliation, even if the colors, dialects and positions are multiplied. This is how Sudan must be treated as it deserves of appreciation, brotherhood, partnership and good neighborliness. However, no one stands with Sudan, or with one party against another, for more than one reason:
Firstly, both of them are from the military, and their battle is a struggle for power, or so are the impressions of the Arabs, and no Sudanese message reached an alternative or denial of this impression.
Secondly, both of them have a relationship with the United States.
Thirdly, both of them have a relationship with the Israeli colony since the Abrahamic agreement, despite the failure of all Arab bets since Camp David, Wadi Araba and Oslo to achieve balance, restore lands with dignity, or end the aspirations of the colonial expansion of the Hebrew-Israeli-Jewish project. In this sense, Sudan is like the one who went on pilgrimage. And people are back.
Fourth, they differed over the background of ceding power in favor of civilians and political parties, which put them in one valley, and the Sudanese political forces in another valley, and this was reflected in the position of the Arab political forces.
Our duty is to be with Sudan, in solidarity, bias and understanding, at least with regard to humanitarian issues such as treatment, medicine and food. The appeal made by the Sudanese ambassador, Hassan Siwar al-Dahab, in Jordan and his demand to provide a field hospital and a medical team, and to provide medicines and transport the wounded are just and necessary demands that must be met by the country of the Jordanians. It is a people who love Sudan and the Sudanese.
