Janjaweed Culture (1) – Sultan Mayerno – Signs – ✍️ Rashid Abdul Rahim
Whoever attacks his country or any country aims to control, rule and remain on the land, which obliges him to spread the positive aspects of his culture to ensure its survival, continuity and acceptance by the people.
The products of Janjaweed culture were spread during this war and were based on the meanings of cruelty, war, enmity and hatred derived from the example of Ibla, Qanqar-ki and Falnaqayat.
They did not find words or meanings regarding tolerance, mercy and humanity.
Most of the sites they attacked and wreaked havoc on were areas of love, compassion and mutual affection, where leading figures from their communities were located.
During my university studies in Egypt, we in the Student Union organized Umrah trips, and their aim was educational and indirect support to students.
The authorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have tolerated pilgrims in the country and turned a blind eye to their presence until the Hajj season.
I was driving on one of these trips, and when we left Mecca after performing Umrah, we stopped to buy food and water for the students in two large buses.
While we were moving, some Sudanese came to stop the buses and told me that the Sultan of Mayerno had asked the students to come for dinner, so I went to see him, thinking that there were many of us for an emergency invitation.
When I entered his house, I found a sturdy old man sitting on a bench surrounded by his disciples. He stood up, greeted me, and told me in a decisive tone that he would not allow us to leave without dinner.
I dropped the students off and we walked in to find tables set up within minutes with delicious food on them.
We had dinner, thanked the Sultan and went out to find that the buses were loaded with large quantities of sandwiches, juice and water.
I returned to the Sultan with my thanks and farewells, and he asked me to come to him on our return and to come back to him if we needed help.
The Sultan was a representative of tolerant Sudanese values, the values of the 1956 state and its democracy, which the Sultan represents, and he amazes us with his generosity, while he does not know or care where we come from? From which tribes or communities?
Every time I hear about what the Janjaweed are doing in the areas of Mayerno and its surroundings, I am reminded of the Sultan and the values of our Sudan and his eminence, which the Janjaweed soldiers and the Dagalo family seek to erase and destroy.
