Prime Minister: Between the Hammer of Challenges and the Evil of Hopes in Sudan – something for the house
After a long wait and a long anticipation, and after Asir’s work, he followed the political transformations and the devastating war which ravaged the country, the decision to appoint a Prime Minister to Sudan was recently issued. This decision expected for a long time since October 2021 represents a spark of hope in the cloudy sky and places the new president with historical responsibility by leading the country towards recovery and stability.
This appointment came after a difficult period which resigned from the former Prime Minister, Hamduk, who began promises and then retracted, to stand in the ranks of war forces. The decision has also been delayed despite the advertisements of the chairman of the Repeated Sovereign Council that the appointment of a competent and independent Civil Minister should be appointed. It seems that the military priority and the liberation of the country of the militia claws have overwhelmed this file, which led to this remarkable delay.
Now the question has been resolved, the emphasis is oriented towards challenges and opportunities before the new Prime Minister. Beyond pre-evaluations and old impressions, the characteristics of the road awaiting it, which begins with the rearrangement of the interior house of the rule. The recent decision of the sovereign council to give it all the powers aims to overcome obstacles to the executive government and to prevent any conflict in specializations, which represents a necessary step towards more effective management.
The first and haste of the challenges is to rehabilitate basic services in safe states. The citizen who has undergone the scourge of war and displacement is impatiently awaiting a gradual return of a normal life, starting with the supply of electricity and clean water, and to rehabilitate hospitals, schools and universities. This step is necessary to create a favorable environment for a safe and worthy return for the displaced to them.
The other challenge is no less urgent, which is the restoration of safety and security in the released areas. This requires precise monitoring and effective coordination between police forces and security and aggressive services, to ensure the feeling of citizen’s security in his house and the lack of fear for him and his family after the security chaos that followed the war and the propagation of weapons and crime.
The most dangerous challenge is to combat creeping corruption. The country cannot settle and flourish unless the executive government launched a fierce war against corruption, and endeavors to control the labor movement and to implement laws with transparency and justice, far from favoritism and regionalism that has developed the body of the state for decades.
The last challenge and urgent, as well as the return of ministries and government institutions to the capital, Khartoum. This requires the rehabilitation of buildings and the return of employees to practice their work, so that the executive work lock returns to rotation. This step is vital to implement the reconstruction plans and the return of practical life to normal.
On the other hand, despite the severity of the challenges, certain opportunities that the new Prime Minister can exploit on the horizon. The first of these opportunities is the relative cohesion of the National Front supporting the armed forces and its leaders, which are appreciated and respected by the great sectors of the Sudanese people.
Secondly, the release of many figures that represented the country’s focus and opposition foci, after the masses pronounced them, could create a more stable environment for the new government.
Third, the existence of conscious popular resistance with its objectives, which are placed at the forefront of the elimination of the rebellion and the reconstruction of what has been destroyed by war, can represent a strong support for government efforts.
Fourth, the Sudanese people are ready to adopt the virtue of patience and hope for a better future, which represents an important moral balance that the government can invest in gaining the confidence of citizens.
Fifth, the popular aspiration to make fundamental changes to government agencies, in particular the public service, the judiciary and the Bank of Sudan, gives the new Prime Minister a popular mandate to make expected radical reforms.
Sixth, the return of relative security and security in Khartoum after the expulsion of rebel militias provides a good starting base for the work of the central government.
Seventh, the possibility of properly investing external relationships, far from pressures that can hinder your work, can help provide support and assistance necessary for the reconstruction and development process.
Finally, the new Prime Minister has entered into his position without previous political classifications which can hinder his movement, giving him the opportunity to build bridges of trust and cooperation with the various national forces.
The task of the new Prime Minister is enormous and complex, but it is not impossible. Sage leadership, a clear vision, a sincere determination and a harmonious team capable of taking responsibility. The Sudanese people, who suffered for a long time, is impatiently awaiting this historic moment with hope and optimism, hoping that it will be the beginning of a new era of stability, peace and development. We ask God to reconcile the new Prime Minister in his difficult mission and write the goodness and payment of Sudan and his family.
