Ambassador Salah Al-Kandou…Diplomacy walks on two legs – Course – ✍️ Mahfouz Abdeen
Popularly, diplomacy means high-level language and words that are neither offensive nor harmful, and when one is said to speak diplomatically, it means that he chooses words and expressions that are more “healing” than “harmful.”
Diplomacy itself, in the worst case, chooses soft words that do not offend or harm in case of strained relations or exchange of accusations between two countries. The word “summons” is present in diplomatic custom, and if the matter evolves into a difficult situation. higher level, the word “undesirable” is present, even if it is a departure determined by hours, be it 24, 48 or 72 hours.
When I read the news, some social media sites reported the dismissal of the Sudanese ambassador to the Sultanate of Oman. Ambassador Salah Al-Hajj Al-Kandu, I was surprised because the word (exemption) here does not appear in the diplomatic (dictionary), and my astonishment increased that the news did not stop at Ambassador Salah Al-Kandu alone, but rather went beyond that, to include the exemption of the embassy staff or members of the mission, in the manner of (dissolving) the government.
The external word does not “exonerate” or “remove,” but it summons, if the matter is required in cases that require (summons).
It seems that the one who reported the news or the one who was the originator did not choose the right time or opportunity to find (his news), if not his rumor, an opportunity to achieve his goal.
Before the announcement of the rumor of the dismissal of Ambassador Salah Al-Kandu, the (official) and (independent) media reported the news of the ambassador's meeting with the Director General of Markets and Free Zones of Sudan, accompanied by the Executive Director of the Arab Exporters Union, where the meeting focused on Sudanese-Omani relations in all their aspects, focusing on the economic aspect. The delegation's visit aims to establish economic partnerships between the two countries, facilitate trade and investment, and activate free zones.
As stated in the news of this meeting, this is a major economic action that is in the interest of both countries, especially since there are Omani products that are popular in the Sudanese and African markets. This is an excellent indicator of what the Sultanate of Oman is doing. is present on the brown continent with all its products, especially since this great popularity of Omani products in Sudan is due to their high quality.
Ambassador Salah Al-Kandu, in foreign language. (Carrier Diplomatic) The statement is correct. He rose from the third secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs until reaching the rank of ambassador. During this period, he traveled to many posts around the world and assumed files and tasks that increased his cumulative experience. and he improves his relationships with people, situations and developments in a way that preserves rights and (water). Faces: It is humanity at its highest level, if not diplomacy at its highest level. The personal nature of the ambassador, composed of calm, balance and assurance. sophistication and treating people with kindness have converged in many of them with diplomatic standards, which has increased the chances of success and distinction in the performance of the ambassador, highly appreciated in the headquarters countries or in the host countries of the ambassador. various foreign stations in which Ambassador Salah Al-Kendou worked, and it is a diplomacy that walks on two legs.
Political competition may be one of its means by spreading such rumors or launching trial balloons to learn about public opinion trends regarding an (anticipated) decision or for (new) policies, but diplomatic work is governed by international rules and national norms and regulations other than those governing political work.
The ambassador is not like a minister who can be dismissed or removed from office. The ambassador is essentially an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, just like a teacher in the Ministry of Education, a doctor in the Ministry of Health or an engineer in the Ministry of Public Works and Engineering. He is governed by a service record and promotion levels, like all civil servants.
But it seems that the one who originated this news did not look at all this and considered the “ambassador” as the “minister” as being exempted or dismissed from his duties. However, it seems that the purpose of publishing the news was not achieved. goal), and in the language of sportsmen, the ball “hit” the crossbar of Al-Qaim, which only irritated the crowd a little, then returned to calm.
