Positive movements towards Sudan after his speech at the United Nations – The face of truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
I would like to address a voice of reproach to a number of journalists with sober and influential pens who did not pay much attention to the speech of the President of the Sovereignty Council before the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 26 last September. in my opinion, it is an extraordinary speech which, like the aspirations of all the Sudanese people, was able to reflect their suffering with… The war, its demands for peace and its aspiration for respectful positions which are suitable for the international organization and to all free peoples. countries whose people aspire to justice, peace and security. How can the world resist the new violations committed against the Sudanese people by the Rapid Support Force rebels… following their war against the Sudanese that they launched in mid-April. last year with a coup? A failure with regional and international support and the collusion of certain internal political forces. This, gentlemen, is due to the fact that our battle is a battle of homeland and people, as you know, which goes beyond individuals and entities. and a narrow vision of the scene with all its possibilities and implications. Regardless, in this article we attempt to review the most salient elements of the speech and its subsequent repercussions with the aim of charting the future of politics and perhaps. military scene in the near future, His Excellency President Al-Burhan emphasized during his speech that Sudan believes and supports the role of the United Nations and supports the reform and development of the work of its agencies, especially the Security Council , to consolidate pluralism. and collective security, preserve human rights and face challenges linked to terrorism or the climate. This is a clear reference to the fact that Sudan is part of the international community that believes in what it believes in and supports its steps on issues of security, peace and the fight against terrorism. and sustainable development. This speech contains intelligent signals, perhaps to embarrass the international organization in the face of what is happening in Sudan, namely the multiplication of unilateral actions outside the scope of the United Nations, in violation of the Charter and of international law. the use of means and mechanisms of political and economic coercion to achieve political goals mainly contributes to destabilizing security, political and economic stability and triggering wars, which constitutes a clear indication of regional and international interference in the outbreak of war in Sudan. refers to the selectivity and double standards that have become the dominant feature of international relations, and it's a smart clue that confirms. However, the world does not view what is happening in Sudan from the perspective of the interests of the Sudanese people as much as from the perspective of the interests of the Sudanese people. he considers it from the reality of his interests, and this is one of the aspects of modern colonialism which should not be overlooked. The speech also spoke about the magnitude of the challenges and conspiracy that Sudan is exposed to as a result of war. launched by a group that rebelled against the state with local and regional political and logistical support, resulting in widespread humanitarian crimes, atrocities and violations against citizens by these rebel forces against the Sudanese people and the he Sudanese state entity, apart from respecting the international law of war which spares civilians the scourge of war. The letter also indicated that these rebel forces and their supporters are challenging international laws and commitments without regard for the consequences, through their rejection of the Jeddah Declaration signed between them and the Sudanese army on May 11. last year, their rejection of Security Council resolutions banning the supply of arms to Darfur and their non-compliance with the resolution concerning El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state. The speech also addressed the issue of the Sudanese people and their government. why the international system has not taken decisive and dissuasive measures against this group and those who support it, despite all the convictions handed down against them that the world has witnessed, notably for crimes against humanity and war crimes, because This is seen as double standards and accountability is a hallmark of the United Nations following the killing of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of millions of Sudanese from their homes. Furthermore, indicating that the rebellion bears responsibility for the violations, the speech emphasized that the prosecution. The systematic attacks carried out daily by this militia increase the suffering of Sudanese citizens. The speech also highlighted the government's commitment to continuing its policies aimed at facilitating humanitarian work, protecting convoys and humanitarian and medical teams, and fully adhering to international standards. humanitarian law and procedures for the protection of civilians. In my opinion, the speech succeeded in presenting a road map to end the war in Sudan, which is based on two axes: the first is the end of combat operations through the withdrawal of rebel forces from the areas where they are located . busy. It moved its population, herding them into specific areas and disarming them so that citizens could return to their areas, where aid could easily reach them and roads and airports would be open. The second axis is a comprehensive political process that reestablishes the path to a democratic political transition and develops lasting solutions that prevent the repetition of wars and military coups. The speech also highlighted the Sudanese army's willingness to fulfill its commitments made after the December revolution. 2019 to hand over power to an elected and consensual government. It is clear that the speech Many doors have been opened to make the voice of the Sudanese and their suffering due to the war heard by the international organization. This is in addition to bilateral meetings. led by President Al-Burhan with a number of heads of friendly and brotherly countries… Turkey, Kuwait, Russia, Central African Republic, Nigeria and others, in addition to holding a press conference on the sidelines of the sessions, of which he was witness. A number of satellite channels, correspondents and the international press, during which the presentation was clear about what is happening in Sudan and explained the plan in all its dimensions and the desired role of the world in condemning the rebellion and its supporters. later revealed in reports and news from major international newspapers and investigative channels that criminalize the rebellion and its supporters and expose numerous violations. And the dirty roles that some countries in the region continue to play in the war in Sudan. in the reports of Amnesty International and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. And a number of very credible international newspapers, such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and the British magazine “Economist”. In light of this, observers note that one of the most notable positive repercussions of this speech, which could have been preceded by coordination and joint agreements, was the decision of US President Joe Biden to exempt Sudan sanctions imposed under the US Human Trafficking Act. This is a move that observers believe would strengthen bilateral relations and common interests between Sudan and the United States of America, as the decision confirms and strengthens the continuation of aid. the objectives of the law, because it is in the national interest of both countries. It is clear that America is eager to enter Sudan in the aftermath of the war in enormous forms to contribute to the reconstruction and find a chance for Sudanese resources. this decision can therefore be considered as a prelude to this entry. On another no less important aspect, the Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hussein Awad, announced that the American special envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, and the director of the American Development Agency, Samantha Power. , will visit Port Sudan next October, after hesitating last July, when envoy Tom Perriello announced that he would continue to seek other opportunities to visit. Let's not forget that there will also be a visit tomorrow, Thursday, to African Sudan. African Union, represented by the African Peace and Security Committee. Therefore, the face of truth remains in the background, emphasizing that all this positive movement towards Sudan is linked to Sudan's discourse and participation in international organization meetings and major international movements. during the last period that the Sudanese government has implemented, in addition to the extensive military measures taken by the army on the ground in all axes to defeat the rebellion, close the file of the war and move on to the next day. in order to restore security and achieve the peace to which all Sudanese aspire.
May you always be well.
