Al -burhan’s speech: Sudan is entering a new scene? – The face of the truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
In a decision indicating the end of the war, the head of the Council of Sovereignty of Transition, Lieutenant -General Abdel -Fattah Al -Burhan, seeks to establish a new stage of stability and peace through political initiatives. However, this transformation is not without challenges, the discourse that proof made yesterday at the end of national consultations on political forces on the roadmap for Sudanese dialogue, which indicates a series of messages which reflect strategic transformations On basic issues, in particular with considering his position on peace and coordination of civil forces. The role of the army in the next step in this article is trying to read this speech, given the repercussions it has made in the political arena.
Since the outbreak of war, the proof has wanted to present itself as a national leader who led the battle to defend the State, which was obvious in the opening of his speech, which he began to have mercy of the martyrs of Sudan, civilians and soldiers. This reference reflects its emphasis on the importance of prolonging security and stability, but it also carries a political dimension, because it seeks to consolidate its image as a leader who is capable of managing the post-war stadium.
What strengthens this proposal is his discourse on the need to form an independent national government which leads the process of reconstruction, to reform the economy and to finish the construction of judicial institutions. This idea has received support from political forces which fear the domination of the parties over the transition period, but the problem remains in the extent of this government to work far from the impact of the military establishment, in particular in light Previous experiences which have shown that the interference of the army in politics often leads to blockage on the democratic horizon. This despite the guarantees presented by proof that the next government will have the power to train its structures if it sees the training of advice.
One of the most controversial aspects of the speech of evidence was his call to break the embargo on the renewal of passports for opponents, and opened the door to reconciliation with those who return to the national row “, in Reference to forces such as “progress”, the Communist Party and the Baath Party led by Ali Al -Sanhouri, in the midst of leaks at his return next to certain leaders in the country in the coming days.
This change seems contradictory to the previous positions of the evidence, which rejected any connection with those who supported armed militias or who were the cause of the planning of the coup who led to the war. Although he refuses to negotiate with those who took up arms, he opens the door to their supporters to return to the political scene. This fluctuation can weaken the logic of transitional justice, because all national reconciliation requires clear principles and standards, in particular in light of major requirements to keep the people involved in the coup d’etat of rapid support or violations during the war.
Al -Burhan also confirmed during his speech that the amendment of the constitutional document which will governed the transition phase has become in its final stages, which means that Sudan approaches a new transitional stage. However, the absence of clear details on the content of these changes to the document and the mechanisms of their implementation raise questions about the extent of their exhaustiveness, especially since the different political forces have different visions on the nature of the transition period and the time that can be agreed.
Al -Burhan also stressed that democracy is the only option to ensure stability, calling for political forces to resort to the polls. But this invitation requires a stable political environment and good preparation, which cannot be carried out without ending the war and ensuring that state resources are not used to control the results of the elections of any party.
In addition, during his speech, Al -Burhan did not reject the idea of a ceasefire and peace on the militia to leave Khartoum and break the seat on Al -fasher, Babanousa and others . Likewise, he said that we did not want the fighters to be a political status, but rather the fights for Sudan the question of religion and the fatherland and supporting the army.
In his speech, Al -Burhan has directed strong criticism from the national congress, although he invited him to the Sudanese parties to wait for the elections, accusing him of “seeking power over the parts of the Sudanese”, this which has aroused generalized controversy, in particular in the middst of its supporters who express their dissatisfaction, as the national congress Issued a press statement on the Eve of the hadith of al -burhan, in which he explained a renewed position on the ISSUE OF The Ruling, which is related to the elections as a legitimate means of reaching power and kept the commander of the head of state of the army with his position of management and confirmed his support for the military establishment, stressing that the scene requires the unity of the country and the unity of the class.
It is clear that proof seeks to present itself as an states which are not calculated on any political tendency and that is good, but ignoring the political role of the Islamists can be an unacceptable adventure, given their historical influence on the scene Sudanese. Regional experiences, such as the Tunisian and Egyptian experience after 2011, have shown that the marginalization of Islamists without complete national consensus can lead to more polarization and instability.
The letter of evidence reflects attempts to achieve a balance between adhering to power and reconciling with the opposition forces, but there is a lack of clarity in certain major questions, such as the end of the war mechanisms, which continued to Confirm that it is by military resolution, and future democratic transformation and the peaceful traffic of power.
In the end, according to what we see in the face of the truth, the Sudanese people remain the main actor in determining the path of the country. If I want this transformation to be real and lasting, it must be based on a complete national vision which reaches justice, guarantees the effective political participation of all, and that Sudan is removed from zero conflicts convulsions. The next step does not only need a political discourse, but also concrete measures which restore the confidence of the Sudanese in their future, far from the contradictions which could be transformed.
You are fine and well.
