Sudan foreign policy. When we put the interest of the country first ✍️ Dr. Alaa Imad al -Din al -Badri
In a world divided between the main alliances, we note that Sudan still does not have a clear and stable foreign policy which first serves its interest, instead of our foreign policy to be a tool to build a strong economy and improve the lives of people has become an arena for fluctuations and experiences in which we go from one breast to another without a clear card or objective.
Once we are with Russia and once we try to satisfy America, then to approach Iran, then return to flirt with China as if we are looking for the satisfaction of everyone without really knowing what we want these contradictory situations that have made us understand us and even trust us and even the foreign investor has become hesitant to make us.
This “double diplomacy” has only made it more for isolation and suspicion of all parties, but rather led to a state of economic instability, because foreign investment does not strike at the doors of a country which does not trust its partnerships and does not understand its political link.
And the result? A disturbed economy is fragile international relations and negative repercussions on the life of the Sudanese citizen, who pays high prices, the poverty of opportunities and unemployment increases day by day.
On the other hand, we note that the countries which have chosen a clear alliance and have built long -term development plans have made great progress in economic construction and have benefited from their fixed positions to strengthen international trust, attract capital and support the national sovereign decision.
The countries that have advanced did not reach what they are because they were in orbit of everyone, but rather because they first knew their interest, then built their alliances on the basis of this interest and not the reverse.
We do not say that we must be with one part against another, but we demand that there is a clear national vision which traces our line of foreign policy. Our alliances must be based on real gains for Sudan in the economy, infrastructure, education and health, and not only on political data and press conferences.
What we need today is to put the country in the foreground and to the alliance according to our interest, and not according to what others want us.
Foreign policy is not a political luxury, but it is one of the living. Whenever our positions are clearer and our alliances are smarter, the better our future, then when we put the interest of Sudan first and stop satisfying everyone at the expense of ourselves?
