He said that truth will prevail: Messages of peace and unity in Hemedti’s speech

“O, what a sight,” as one of the Rapid Support Forces’ soldiers gathered to welcome the Commander breathed when he recognized Hemedti’s features amongst the crowds, indicating his significant psychological relief upon seeing the Rapid Support Forces Commander. This is what millions of people across the country feel, having experienced his presence in both peace and war, recognizing the purity of his heart and warm sincerity as he led the revolution of the marginalized for freedom, rights, justice, and peace —the immortal slogans of the December revolution, regardless of how blatantly those who disavow them attempt to deny their existence.

Despite the few public speeches Hemedti delivered during the war, his address, delivered yesterday, Sunday, June 22nd, was particularly significant, both in terms of timing and content.

In terms of timing, the speech came after the “Brotherhood of the Devils” had lost confidence in any chance of achieving victory in the battles of the eastern and northern states, as well as Al-Jazeera and Khartoum states, and shifted their focus to matters of dividing power and wealth, selling land and resources. This -in turn- created a major rift amongst them. The Port Sudan Alliance began to dissolve after the Brotherhood announced the end of the war for them, considering the rest of Sudan a de facto “house of war,” and deeming it unworthy of their care in regards to the situations in the aforementioned regions, after they had assumed power elsewhere. Consequently, they secretly and publicly indicated from time to time that they were dispensing with the “Joint Force” militias, after the latter had begun to grumble in disgruntlement. Thereafter, their disagreement became public knowledge, and the minutes of their meetings were published on social media, foreshadowing the collapse of the fragile alliance. There is ample evidence of that reality.

In terms of content, the speech, delivered by Hemedti amidst tens of thousands of his soldiers, contained important messages. First, his call for peace comes from a position of strength and power, not weakness and surrender. He stated, “We are defending ourselves, and whoever dies defending his property or honor is a true martyr.” He went on to add, “We are not advocates of war, but advocates of peace. We are losing our children and our most prized possessions to this war, so how can we advocate for its continuation? Conversely, what does Al-Burhan, Ali Karti, or Osama Abdullah have to lose if the war continues?”

The speech was full of messages, some of which were directed at his forces and others were directed at the Sudanese people in general. In addition, he addressed other parties abroad, for example reassuring neighboring countries, especially in the border “Triangle” area, where he shared that his forces’ control “will not, under any circumstances, be a source of concern for Sudan’s neighboring countries.” He affirmed the right to secure his country’s borders while respecting the borders of neighboring countries.

Hemedti addressed the strained relationship between himself and Egypt, revealing that the warmongers of the Islamic Movement in Port Sudan, put forth diligent efforts in a confidential manner to poison that relationship, just as they did with the relationship between the Rapid Support Forces and the Republic of South Sudan, as well as with Chad and the Central African Republic. The Islamic Movement had formed a mercenary fighting force there, led by the criminal Muslim Brotherhood member Shukurt Allah, before the Rapid Support Forces arrested him, and ISIS’s attempts to forcefully change the regime in the Central African Republic in favor of the global Muslim Brotherhood organization were met with failure.

In his speech, the Commander of the Rapid Support Forces revealed the true nature of the Islamic Movement and its flawed conscience, relying on treachery, betrayal, baseness, ambushes, deception, fraud, and paying in exchange for twisted integrities. He likened them to the accursed devil, indicating the impossibility of trusting them.

Hemedti spoke with a great sense of responsibility about the refugees and displaced persons in the areas under his forces’ control, about the hundreds of thousands who were forced by the Brotherhood’s “Strange Faces Law” to flee to the states of Kordofan and Darfur. He expressed concern for their plight, promising them relief, and heralding a peaceful autumn that would spare the people of those countries the need to wait for aid.

Daglo revealed information regarding the rehabilitation of a number of prisons in an effort to confront the phenomenon of looting and theft, stating, “Criminals belong in prison.” He reassured the Sudanese people in the eastern and northern states that the Rapid Support Forces are only hostile towards (ISIS), the Brotherhood of the Devils who ignited the war and are now working to perpetuate it. He emphasized Sudan’s unity, sharing, “We will not abandon the sea for them, and we have no objection to living together according to agreed-upon principles that guarantee equal rights and citizenship for all.”

The majestic appearance of the Rapid Support Forces Commander and his responsible speech warmed the hearts of millions of Sudanese who have come to look up to him as a brave national symbol and a tough figure on the scene who dared to say no to those who said yes, and to side with the masses of his people in confronting (ISIS). This made the Brotherhood of the Devils and their rats angry; however, Hemedti overcame their baseness with his nobility, which was attested to by both friend and enemy. He overcame their lies with his blatant and obvious honesty in his letters and words, after he threw down his stick and it devoured their fabrications. May Allah’s eternal damnation be upon the Brotherhood of the Devils.
