People’s standards and the dead end of ministerial training – the face of truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
The Sudanese Prime Minister, Dr. Kamel Idris, appears before one of the most complex tasks of his political career, which is the completion of the formation of the “government of hope” announced in the speech of the establishment after his mission and the performance of the oath on May 31, which has not yet been completed with the appointment of only five of the ministers of 2025.
The main dilemma is that the Sudanese people, with their long experience in monitoring political performance, no longer deals with ministerial training as a simple citation or a balance between skills, but rather as a direct indication of the management of the following government and its positions on fateful issues, led by the “war of dignity”. This war, which, in the conscience of people, exceeded the affiliations of parties and regional, and redefines patriotism on the basis of the explicit bias of the army, defending the sovereignty of the State, and not being abroad.
The position on this war has become a fundamental norm that determines the legitimacy of any potential public or civil servant. The people, who fought this battle with their blood, their money and their honor, do not accept that they take over from a hesitant, silencer or accomplice at the time of existential threat. For this, the government which is in preparation will not only be measured with its effectiveness, but also with the positions of its members and their bias declared to the fatherland, the people and the national institutions.
On the other hand, certain decision -making circles do not seem to have absorbed this major change in the consciousness of the street, they therefore always bet on the balance of the elites, or what is called “the engineering of closed parts”. These bets, if they continue, inevitably collide the popular rejection wall, as has happened in the regional experiences in which governments fell for weeks of training, because they carried the seeds of failure from the moment of birth, and because they did not express the aspirations of the people.
The anxiety indicators increase when political and media circles circulate leaks on the exclusion of national and active personalities of training, such as former Minister Khaled Al -Aiser, whose name has been associated with clear positions in the battle of media dignity. Emotion was a rare national voice, facing the disinformation campaigns effectively and daringly, and contributed to the reconstruction of state discourse in one of the most complex and difficult stages. His ignorance seems closer to the response to the pressures of influence centers which are not comfortable with explicit discourse or independent enlightened presence.
And if his bag – as it is said – is the rumor that an ambiguous or affiliated personality of media institutions known for his explicit hostility to the national question, this will ask serious questions about the independence of the national political decision and the seriousness of the government to biaise the interests of Sudan, not for the interests of the external parties or the hidden forces centers.
Perhaps what restores the balance of the compass of the national decision and helps to consolidate the situation is the real opening to the domain. The Prime Minister is expected to leave the walls of the elites and visit one of the combat movements, because soldiers bind in difficult conditions to defend the soil of this country. Only there, the meaning of the real bias of the people can be understood, appreciating the sacrifices and seeing the complete image: from the depth of the terrain which defends the survival and the constancy of the State.
The Prime Minister, Dr. Kamel Idris, is before a real test, not only in his ability to choose ministers, but also in his desire to face the influence centers that try to impose his agenda on a government that would have represented hope for Sudanese.
According to what we see from the face of the truth, the Sudanese people today call for a government which sincerely expresses their aspirations, which are not formulated in isolated corridors which do not represent it. Political legitimacy is no longer measured by slogans or gray positions, but rather by the capacity to embody the popular will which has formed under the weight of war and sacrifices. And if the next government does not reflect this advanced and spatial consciousness of society, it will only have formal legitimacy, and it soon erodes an audience which has become more able to sort the positions and reshape the new national equation.
You are fine and well.
