Al-Burhan, What goes around comes around
Ali Ahmed
There’s a saying: “You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, and with the measure you use, you will be judged.” And since Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan is the plaything of this era and its wonder, he did what even his precedents failed to do when he isolated the vital sphere of his country in order to overthrow an executive authority (the government). A government he headed its Sovereignty Council.
He financed the tribal strife in Eastern Sudan and employed his Intelligence Service, State funds, the speech of the National Congress Party, as well as the angry tribal leader “Al-Amin Terik” and his boys in a surreal scene to close the National Road and the country’s port.
No one had dared to even contemplate performing such an act before, in fact no one had dared to (hover) back and forth in front of the port gates, but this is an age in which (a dog, and he is praised) rules!
Now, an adverse wind is blowing and Al-Burhan’s ships will sail against his wishes, they will sail in the opposite direction to his will, as the same group that he used to close the port and the National Road threatened, when tribal leader “Al-Amin Terik” announced, accompanied by a very large delegation, joining the sit-in at the “Osman Digna” Port in “Suakin” to demand their rights in the Port Sudan government, they gave the Port Sudan government three days after which they would close (Aqaba), that is, cut off the road connecting Port Sudan to the rest of Sudan.
He announced that the Civil Administrations of all the tribes of the east would conspire to completely close (Aqaba).
Al-Burhan has become a laughingstock among the people and a target for everyone’s insults, and he deserves it of course, as he gathers around him the rabble and waste of the country, from vulgar popular female singers, thieves, fraudsters, corrupt people, mercenaries and a spectrum of corrupt tribal sheikhs, recruiting them against the democratic civil transition and using them to insult, abuse and humiliate the democratic opponents in order to implement his -and his kizan’s- agendas of monopolizing the Rule of the country.
The (poor man) didn’t know that the positions of the rabble tend to always be swayed in the opposite direction, and that whoever abandons the wise and scholars favoring the rabble, mob and the demagogues instead, will reap thorns in the end.
However, taking into consideration the sit-in of the Beja people, they have legitimate rights of course, because they were grossly wronged by Al-Burhan and he betrayed them, as he didn’t give them more than a single position in his unrecognized government (the Port-Kizan government), while the Armed mercenary Movements control the government scene and impose their political will on Al-Burhan himself. Hence, the Beja were used as (useful fools) and Al-Burhan is still dealing with them according to this despicable perception.
It seems that the Beja have awakened from their slumber, and that is okay, but this awakening won’t prompt them to invent pressure methods other than those taught to them by Al-Burhan, which are shutting down and disrupting people’s lives, so they are working to close the “Osman Digna” port, and tomorrow they will close (Aqaba).
All of the above is taking place under the watchful eye of Al-Burhan’s government, which tribal leader “Al-Amin Terik’s” group -called the “The High Council of Beja Nazirs and Independent Chieftains”- helped by paving the way for Al-Burhan’s Coup on the 25th of October 2021, and reaped nothing but promises and lies.
Today, the same group is closing the port and (Aqaba) to demand its share in the (Port-Kizan) government, and it will be a sufficient reason for creating more cracks as well as vertical and horizontal divisions between the components of the fragile alliance between the Army leadership, Al-Kizan, the Armed Movements and those around them, which will in turn surely widen the gap, prompting a setback with the collapse of the current alliance of the rabble and corrupt agents.
Al-Burhan is no longer -or never was- in control, but he was somewhat successful in maintaining this alliance, by introducing the narrative of war and existential threat, but with the war prolonging and corruption spreading in an unprecedented manner, Al-Burhan no longer holds any value in the alliance he heads, he is mocked and threatened by the most despicable of them, such as “Shaiba Dirar”, and he often becomes the subject of the entertainment of an invisible person who rambles on social media and barks like a stray dog, for Al-Burhan doesn’t even control himself let alone his decisions.
Oh! Burhan, what goes around will inevitably comes around.
