The Usurping Dual Rule Army

Ismail Abdullah

One of the oddities and curiosities of Sudan, is that the Army Institution preceded the State’s existence by thirty years, 1925 -1955, and from there came the deformed embryo of the State, and because the Army is the product of the Anglo-Egyptian rule, its first priority had to be to protect the interests of the Queen of Great Britain and King Farouk (King of Egypt, the mother of the world and Sudan), and why did we not hear or read about amending the foreign-founded Military Law through the parliaments of the three democratic governments that followed (the Independence).

The Army’s approach (the Sudan Defense Force) remains to fight under the British and Egyptian crowns, and the evidence to support that claim is the active participation of the Sudanese Army battalions in the wars that Egypt waged against Israel, and the Nubian Army battalions fighting fierce battles alongside the British colonizer in Libya, in order to eliminate the Italian presence and curb the French influence.

In regards to this battalion, thanks to which Sudan was granted formal independence three decades after the Army was founded, after which the institution continued to work hard to bury any emergence of civil governments in service of the founders’ agenda.

Whoever takes the time to review the Army’s military training curriculum, whether for new soldiers or officers enrolled in the Military Academy, will notice behavior modification training targeting recruits in forty-five days, a period that teachers call (militarization) – the transition from civilian to military personnel.

One of the most important pillars of this is humiliation, degrading the value of the human being and generally being contemptuous towards them, so that they’ll turn into a robot that obeys the orders of those of higher rank. As oppression creates the oppressed, the oppressed must necessarily practice everything that would heal their anger against those who created this painful emotional state within the oppressed. Hence we saw the hideous scenes of soldiers and their officers raping women and girls in the south, the Nuba Mountains, and Darfur – the village of Tabit and the neighborhood of (there are no men around).

Our people who served as soldiers under the command of the Military Academy’s officers – the factory of (rapers/rapists), told us about the atrocities they were a part of, violating the land and people of South Sudan, from the first era of war (Torit Rebellion 1955) until the last unjust era.

What is taking place now in the war between the Army and the Rapid Support Forces is like paying off the old debt, which the Armed Forces borrowed from the honor and dignity of the people of the south, the Nuba Mountains and Darfur, which is consistent with karma, the bird that eats ants will be eaten by ants after it dies, or as you sow, so shall you reap.

When the international news agencies were talking about the transgressions of the war in Darfur from all sides, the rulers in Khartoum were belittling those crimes, ignoring the cycle of history and the universe, lying in wait for any man and woman, no matter how long they remain alive, walking on two feet on the surface of the earth, for they will eventually drink the same poison and from the same cup, to be carried afterwards in a casket.

What the Generals Tawfiq Abu Kaddouk and Hassan Bashir Nasr threatened to do to wipe out South Sudan, be it people or trees, has had a devastating effect on the greater north of Sudan, when the latter was in a deep sleep in regards to al-Fat’h al-Mubeen (Manifested Victory), al-Obour, and al-mughirat subhan (the chargers at dawn) battalions destroying the beautiful southern people.

Rape was and still isn’t considered an unacceptable behavior by soldiers and officers of the Army. Rather, the State inherited from the colonizer glorified the perpetrators of this immoral crime against the southern and western components.

Raping the women from western and southern regions isn’t considered a crime at all in the collective mind of the generals of the Anglo-Egyptian rule Army, as long as the victims are ethnically different from the perpetrators.

Therefore, the dictator didn’t hesitate to say that the raped woman from these regional and social components should feel pride if she was assaulted sexually by one of his soldiers. The result of all this significant corruption is the flood of mid-April, a year and afew months ago.

Hundreds of officers from the Military Academy were killed and thousands of soldiers and non-commissioned officers were captured in this war. The garrisons and military headquarters fell under the control of the Rapid Support Forces, and the most important Military Divisions surrendered. The idol of the Army, which had been killing and raping its people since it was founded by the British and Egyptian colonizers, fell. The features of the formation of the national Army began to appear on the horizon filled with the smoke of the proxy aircraft’s explosives.

The mourner mourned the legend of the old military arsenal that served and sponsored the interests of the evil Khedivate neighbor, by handing over the battalions of regional and international terrorism the reins to lead the battles of the Army that lost before the hordes of Al-Ashaws (valiant soldiers).

The Libyan Army collapsed after terrorists entered Libya, which resulted in the creation of a national Army other than Gaddafi’s battalions, which fought a war to reclaim the State hijacked by extremists. Wherever the terrorists went, chaos ensued, destruction spread, and fires ignited.

Fortunately, those who planted the seed of the Anglo-Egyptian rule Army’s demise were the extremists when they overthrew legitimacy three and a half decades ago. They did it with their own hands, but their arrows rebounded on them, and now they are reaping what they sowed. They criticize the time when the Rapid Support Forces system was established, and the fault lies with their time, when they gained power and then finished off the Army of the Egyptian Khedivate, when they supported it with the Popular Defense Militia and their terrorist battalions.

Thus, the theory of internal collapse occurred. Civilizations flourish and then die for internal reasons. Oh Sudanese, recite Al-Fatihah for the soul of the Anglo-Egyptian rule Army, and begin establishing your national Army, that abides by your rules, not following King Farouk.
