Jibril’s Scraps !!

The stockpile that citizens consume on a daily basis in order to endure what they face is no longer sufficient !!

On the first day Port Sudan was chosen as the alternative administrative capital, we mentioned that this government, which put forth efforts into distancing itself from the conflict zone as well as the public eye and chose the Red Sea coast, is no more than a government well versed in the art of “looting,” as it will practice the worst types of corruption.

It is rather well known that corruption in times of war is the most dangerous because its practice is legalized and protected by the authorities from oversight and the media’s scrutiny. This is especially true since the coup authorities have begun to involve the media in the game of corruption, awarding the latter with the allocation of a special budget, indeed, the budget isn’t granted with the intention of developing, but more so, to silence it, in order to build a wall of protection.

This reduces the media to playing the role of mere facades, unable to expose corruption, even though it is conducted in offices located on the same street. They are incapable of exposing a single administrative transgression, let alone State corruption. Their mission has become not so much to expose but to “cover up.”

Jibril Ibrahim, the Minister of Finance, is the most corrupt minister in Al-Burhan’s government. He practices a hobby of “extending his hand” to public funds. His corruption became apparent in the first months of the war, when aid trucks were attacked and taken into unknown destinations instead of Darfur. He continued to utilize this approach, as the government failed the moral test when aid began to be sold in markets. This development was realized by Humanitarian Organizations, as they subsequently realized that the Port Sudan government wasn’t trustworthy in regards to the aid. Therefore, the United Nations (UN) decided that aid would enter the country exclusively through international organizations.

However, because Jibril has a purpose and an interest, he won’t be satisfied with the corruption of Port Sudan. He decided to make an investment in the area still reeking of human blood, amidst the corpses of citizens in Khartoum. He decided to conclude a contract with Egyptian-German companies to sell half a million tons of scrap cars, damaged and burned due to the war. These are cars owned by Sudanese citizens, which he -said citizen- acquired with his hard-earned money. The same citizen is the only authority that can decide whether to sell or keep his property. Jibril has no right to sell them. If Egyptian channels didn’t reveal the details of the deal, Jibril would have preferred those contracts to be implemented quietly. Which invokes the question of, how could Jibril Ibrahim encroach on citizens’ property and steal their cars to sell ? Isn’t this theft in its truest sense ?

And encroachment on citizens’ property by the trusted, “traitorous” government!!

To be robbed by a Minister in the government entrusted with protecting the people and their property, wearing an expensive suit and speaking to the media, is a disgrace that Al-Burhan’s government, which practices “theft” in its own way, should be ashamed of!!

The “scraps” deal that was exposed by the Egyptian media is undoubtedly one of dozens, concluded by the Minister of Finance and have yet to be revealed. How many contracts did the Minister conclude in the dark, how many containers docked on the coast, and how many were shipped, without anyone knowing about them ?

What about the deals concluded with the full knowledge of the coup authorities, as they hold periodic meetings dedicated to distributing the profits of companies, deals, and trade to members of the coup council and government ministers ?

Unfortunately, the people are now crying over “scraps” when perhaps half of their country, along with its resources, is being put up for sale, unbeknownst to them. “Let the war continue until the rebellion is eliminated” is a phrase the government fills the minds of citizens with, pouring it daily into their minds, so that they would be rewarded with hearing the cheers and praises, reassuring them of its corrupt practices behind the façade of this phrase. The real intention is to continue the war until the country’s resources are plundered, the gold and minerals we were once concerned about, and today we are concerned about the “scraps.” What kind of greedy, hungry government is this ? It’s not satisfied with all the country’s resources, and its greed has reached the point of subsisting on the crumbs of war!

Jibril has previously, and on several platforms, called for the continuation of the war and stated that he refused to negotiate because he knew that his mission and interests in continuing the war had yet to be realized. However, does Jibril know that the decline of his ambition to this extent, due to his practice of corruption, which has allowed him to extract his profits from the battlefield, means that this government is taking its last breaths, and that the obsession with leaving without return is what makes it greedy for more looting, to the point of “collecting” the remnants of war from the roads ?

As for the citizen, he ought to raise his hand in Jibril’s face and tell him… “I want my vehicle, even if was burned.”

In Conclusion:

#No_to_War

Tomorrow:

The Bank of Sudan assigns employees to safe cities and those affected by the conflict based on their position regarding the revolution and change!!

The institutional injustice of the terrified coup authority !!
