The massacre in the village of Wad al-Noura and how to choose the right reaction ✍️ Dean M/ Ibrahim Aqeel Madibo
1/* You notice, after the militias committed the massacre of the village of Wad al-Noura, the emergence and growth of a fierce and organized campaign against the leadership of the army and the work of the forces on the ground on social networks. The campaign extended to writers, journalists and platform owners supporting the armed forces. Unfortunately, it had a clear impact and may have changed the beliefs of some of those who support the military (on the letter) and examples are available.
*2/* We ask you to be attentive to the matter, to be careful and to be vigilant in this regard, always
We see in such campaigns and in their link with the violations committed by the militias that there is a hidden link which leads to a “loss of confidence between the citizen and the army”, to a fragmentation of popular cohesion and to a discouragement. the determination of popular resistance, thus weakening society and the State. This explains the Janjaweed's plan to carry out massacres by planning and coordinating with the agents of progress and the supporters of stopping the war to push things to the brink and call for… Their plan depends on the dispersion of efforts armed forces aiming to retake the town of Wad Medani. Therefore, we see them turning toward safe villages, fanning out around them, and expanding their attacks on civilians with intentional ferocity. disrupt the work of the movements. According to them, this represents a pressure card to provoke the military to react and pursue them, and thus the leaders bear new burdens and therefore the agents take on new tasks.
*3/* Such actions and massacres must be confronted with a strict policy, a plan and decisive approaches, and a new theory regarding these actions, and make their perpetrators understand that any confrontation with the citizen will always have “costly” consequences. ” and that it will inevitably lead to losses, so that it becomes The theory is an integrated system in itself that aims to achieve *”terror and deterrence”*, which means forcing the militia, its mercenaries and supporters to refrain from committing such violations in the future, emphasizing the “greater risks” associated with their gains from theft, looting and flight, even if this requires attacking them. This militia is in their bases and outposts near and far.
*4/* There is no way to ward off the phenomenon of militia attacks on safe villages devoid of military presence, except by moving on a large scale thanks to the simultaneous work of all movements and units of the forces participating in the War of Dignity in Al-Jazeera and Kordofan, in addition to aviation and artillery, to create a state of mind among the rebel militias, which is represented by: The threat and capacity of the army to hit them and reveal and know who is behind them and supporting them to achieve their programs and goals. The success of these actions will only be achieved by avoiding haste. We in Sudan have become accustomed to working with an erroneous methodology and concept that “strategies follow tactics”, and this is a serious error, as a tactic. are one of the ways to implement the strategy. In other words, we need to reverse the situation, so that the tactician follows the strategy, not the other way around. What is true is that “strategy is what chooses tactics”. and directs the progress of the tactic to enable it to play its role in achieving the decisive and desired result, and this is what we want and aspire to implement. The correct approach in all cases related to hostilities, even those related to the choice of answers. and security and intelligence operations, while establishing new and updated rules of engagement, adapted to current situations. Adopting the right strategies, maintaining them and taking the initiative are among the principles that help achieve goals, and therefore everyone must think with the mentality. of statesmen. An insightful military vision, no emotions, impulsiveness, impressionism and hasty reactions.
