Minnawi’s Fugitive Appeals

The revolution that swept through the western countryside expelled Minnawi and his ilk, of fugitive leaders (meaning those who abandoned their responsibilities), from its consciousness before it sought to remove them from its scene. The “Founding (Tasees) Forces” are currently overseeing the evacuation of citizens from the battlefield, while this wretched man continues to appeal to the international community to return those innocent civilians back to the IDP camps, as if the latter were resorts, in which they had taken refuge of their own free will and generous desires.

Minnawi wasn’t in any way content with exploiting the plight of these poor people; moreover, he sought to use them as human shields from the flames that ravaged citizens in their markets and villages, claiming the lives of innocents whom the Central State was supposed to protect. However, that wasn’t the case, as the “Salvation (Inqaz) gang” targeted non-Arab components, displaced them from their villages, and destroyed all possible avenues for them to earn a livelihood, adopting the same mentality with which it chooses to target the Arab desert (Badiya) today.

Those criminal elites can assassinate leaders physically and morally; however, they will no longer be able to assassinate consciousness or divert it to serve the hateful settlement project. The youth have acquired a vision and have garnered pride, which is more potent than weapons. They can no longer be locked away in the barn. However, their efforts can be guided, their planning aided, their cognitive tools developed, their spiritual aspirations elevated, their productive awareness increased, and so on. I am certain that the energy of the youth can be harnessed for development and reconstruction, rather than for war and destruction.
