Dissolving the Army… A long-overdue act of national duty

We are witnessing with our own eyes the Military Establishment being the wrecking ball targeting the Sudanese States, the tool for dismantling the country, torturing its people, and the biggest loophole for malicious foreign intervention. It is the most important den of treason, national betrayal, and theft of economic resources.

This is the truth we will incessantly repeat until we perish without it, and men and women who hold similar beliefs will inevitably make themselves known one day!

However, the shameless media machine, specialized in lying, persistently misleading, and distorting awareness, has succeeded in creating parrots who repeat slimy and disgusting phrases that cannot confront any rational and logical discussion based on evidence and proof. Phrases such as, “The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) are the safety valve of the country!” And, “The Army’s collapse means the inevitable collapse of the State!” In addition to, “Preserving the State Institution requires supporting the Army!” Meanwhile, the Army itself isn’t even standing for us to support it..! Rather, its in a constant state of fleeing the battlefields! In a State of reliance on the National Congress Party’s militias and Armed Movements, as militias seem to multiply every morning from the womb of the so-called “War of Dignity War!”

El-Fasher is the only city that has managed to held out for a long period of time against the advances of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). However, it was able to achieve such a feat because the battle was confronted by the forces of Minni Minnawi and Jibril, as they mobilized their forces on tribal basis. The Security Service excelled at inciting ethnic violence, transforming it into a battle of existence between the Zaghawa and the Arabs, a situation that threatens to deteriorate into mass ethnic massacres.

If indications are to be interpreted, El-Fasher is well on the way to falling under the control of the Rapid Support Forces, especially after Minni Minnawi’s disputes with the Port Sudan Authorities became public over the ($300 million) that should have been allocated to the Armed Movements participating in the so-called War of Dignity, however, the promised monetary compensation has yet to be paid.

In summary, this Sudanese Army is neither patriotic nor professional. If our country had true founding fathers, the first decision taken by the independence government on (January 1st, 1956), would have been to dissolve this Army, determined to guard the colonial power and oppress the people, and to begin building an independent Sudanese Army with specifications consistent with the vision of an independent national State, just as Nyerere did with the Tanzanian Army on the eve of independence.

Unfortunately, we are an orphaned State, and so we suffered this constant oppression under the yoke of this Army since independence.

I am writing such statements with conviction that dissolving the Sudanese Army at this moment in time is simply not possible, because there is an international and regional will that won’t allow it, and the aforementioned are deliberately seeking to preserve the myth of this scarecrow for their own purposes. Whatever the case, I see no logic in the continued dominance of delusions about this Army in the minds of the Sudanese people.

This Army must be viewed as an institution in crisis and as the most important root of the national crisis since independence. Therefore, the condition for its continuation is its openness to a reconstruction project to rehabilitate it technically and morally. This war is absolutely unsuitable as a political lever for the Army to consolidate its guardianship over the Sudanese State and, consequently, the guardianship of the -nominally- Islamic Movement, which is criminal in reality, as it was responsible for igniting this war under the influence of the dream of restoring absolute power over Sudan by means of this Army. An Army that, throughout the era of the Islamists has been transformed into a mere “Trojan horse,” within which the National Congress Party (NCP) hides to add a patriotic character to their hateful partisan project, based on the patriotic myths woven around the Army without justification.
