Secrets, techniques and trends in malware warfare directed against Sudan and the mechanisms of imposing national narration ..! – #other dimension – ✍️ Musab birr
At a time when the lines intersect between truth and slander, and small screens are transformed into battlefields, the media war has become a more fatal weapon than the same bullets. Sudan, with its strategic location, its natural resources and its cultural diversity, is found at the heart of a system of systematic media campaigns aimed at distorting its reality, tearing its social fabric and serving external and regional agendas. This war does not only target the government, but also targets the will of the Sudanese people and their ability to determine their fate.
The secrets of deception: war infrastructure
The secret of the success of this war lies in its deep understanding of Sudanese psychology. The hidden organizations they set up, whether they are countries that seek to disrupt development projects, or interest groups who wish to weaken the state, even internal war factions, endeavor to exploit societal gaps. They are well aware of the sensitivity of ethnic, religious and regional issues, they therefore swell them and publish false accounts that excite discord and deepen the fault between the components of a single people. The biggest secrecy is to turn the Sudanese against each other, which makes them fuel for a war they run behind the screens.
Disinformation techniques: is the arsenal
This war depends on an advanced arsenal of disinformation techniques, which has become more complicated with the development of technology:
1. False news: quickly publish false information via social media platforms, in particular WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook, on false bombings, the cities that fall or even false declarations by civil servants. This news spreads to a speed that exceeds the correction capacity.
2. False calculations and robots: Systematic networks of false accounts which create a deceptive content, the false accounts are extended and attack any opposition voice. These accounts systematically operate on specific “trendy” subjects to resemble public opinion.
3. Pictures and videos apart from the context: use old sequences of events in other countries, or clips of cinematographic films, and present them as current events in Sudan to stir feelings and anger.
4. A conspiracy theory: the publication of complex conspiracy stories which absolutely blame external parts (such as Western countries or certain neighbors) or internal parts (such as certain revolutionary forces), which constitutes an escape from local responsibility and simplifies complex crises in a simple plot.
5. Emotional targeting: Content design to directly target feelings of fear, anger and hatred, transgressing reason and logic. A false video of a collapsed structure or a crying child can move the feelings of millions and direct them to a specific action.
Advanced trends: the future of the threat
The directions of this war are heading for more slag and camouflage:
Divinity of closed platforms: passing public platforms to private telegraph and WhatsApp groups, which makes monitoring and surveillance difficult.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Deepfake techniques have become a real threat, because fake high quality videos can be created for public personalities (military, politicians, activists) showing them as they say or do what has never happened, which can cause uninterrupted sedition.
Psychological economic war: disseminating false news on the collapse of the national currency, an imminent shortage of fuel and medicine, or institutional collapse in order to destabilize the economy and spread panic and panic.
Confrontation: how to protect?
Facing this malicious war is not the responsibility of the government, but rather a collective responsibility. Civil society institutions, independent media, activists and influencers must play their role in the construction of societal immunity. The awareness of media literacy, teacher to people how to check the sources and not share any news before confirming it, is the first line of defense. The support of local and transparent local media which provides precise and correct information in its time is the strongest weapon in the battle to restore the national story.
After the last:
In the end, the media war against Sudan is a war of existence targeting the spirits and hearts of the Sudanese before targeting their land. And victory will not be by blocking the information, but rather by confronting the lie with the truth, the dismantling of unity and the wickedness with conscience. O Free, the sons of the Nile, the dusty ground guards of Sudan, the words flowing on the screens are not ink on paper, but are bullets that want to afflict the spirit of our vibrant nation. Do not pass tricks is a battle of destiny in which we want to die, blur our identity and plunder our decision. But are we satisfied? Do you have the silence? Do we leave the elongated rope to press the dreams of our children and the future of our country? No .. and a thousand no! Because this dirt on which our great ancestors walked and drink with the blood of our just martyrs, we will never leave it at the lie of the charlatans and the singer of the songs of destruction. Because “Sudan” is not only a land, it is one of the names of dignity, and it is a title of sacrifice, and it is a song that hesitates in the hearts of each Sudanese and a slogan that flies in the consciousness of each free. Let us be the calm army, the army of conscience and vigilance. Each sharing of the truth is a weapon, each documentation of reality is a shield, each word is just which becomes a cry in the face of the lie which is called through generations. Get up! Do not be a spectator … Be an actor, be a guard of the truth. Discard the facts, refute lies, highlight beauty, heroism and success in your country. Because your silence today can be a crime against the future of your children tomorrow. Get out of the circle of silence and enter the verb arena. Let’s all be … each of us … a soldier of dignity, defending the truth of Sudan. Let us raise the flag of our high country, not a dust or the darkness of disinformation. Together, we are stronger than all their lies. Together, we, Sudan … and we continue if there is ink in the rest of the almighty God.
He doesn’t have it without God
God is enough for us and yes, the agent
Oh my God, do not throw us with our sins that are not afraid of you, and are not mercy of us, oh mockery
