Is the game of Military and Thieves who trade in religion over?
Ibrahim Suleiman
The Islamic Movement in Sudan traded politically with the slogan of religion, perched over the Armed Forces, and exploited its rifle to attain power in June of 1989. It provided the Military with a political incubator, and minted the Army’s religious fatwa for killing and committing violations, which time proved to be false.
In return, the Army provided them with protection, opened weapons stores for them, and trained them, until they grew strong and began to launch attacks, as the world recently followed the statements of the extremist fundamentalist Sheikh Abdul-Hayy Youssef, who exceeded the limit of audacity in mocking the Army and debasing its leaders.
They are united by interest, and separated by the erosion of trust. If they reconcile, they corrupt, and if they disagree, they ignite wars. It seems that this evil alliance, which destroyed Sudan, its people and territory, is about to end, as some of them turned against each other, pointing blame and striking with suicide drones under the belts.
All indications convey that their violence will be severe amongst themselves. Trust is now a relic of the past, interest has been negated, and the game of temporary reconciliation has been exposed. Those following the developments are waiting to see how the Army will respond to the insults of the fundamentalists’ Sheikh, Abdul-Hayy Youssef.
