The role of local organizations in national action (We Are All Sudan Organization for Sustainable Development) as a model ✍️ Khaled Fadl Al-Sayyid
National organizations or civil society organizations play an effective role in serving society and the state in times of peace, war and disasters in general.
We all know that public and voluntary work is hard work that no human being can endure unless God has given him this characteristic, which is patience and endurance, which may be at the expense of your comfort and that of your family. through his work in various organizations, he is in continuous work situations throughout the day, morning and evening, and the work may require traveling from one state to another, it requires patience and determination.
Due to the importance of the role of service organizations, international service organizations have been established to collect funds from countries, philanthropists and the rich for the benefit of citizens of poor countries in times of disasters such as floods, torrents, rains, famines, epidemics and others.
But unfortunately, in recent years, major countries have misused these voluntary organizations, causing them to lose their core mission, which is to help the needy and those in need. Some countries have linked their support to political and intelligence interests, which has resulted in them being unable to act. has emptied these global organizations of their content and made them a threat to countries and governments, which has led targeted countries to doubt their integrity and the intentions of these organizations that have abandoned their voluntary work to practice intelligence and security in order to implement the agenda of those who support the countries.
The practice of these external organizations in the role of blackmail and their abandonment of their fundamental and voluntary mission of serving the needy have made the targeted countries unwilling to cooperate with them for security reasons. Thus, these organizations have lost their credibility and neutrality and have gone out of the group. the extent of their role in public service.
We have noticed here in Sudan, in recent years, a decrease in the number of national organizations that played an effective role in serving society and the state. This is due to the war conditions that had a major impact on their work. have lost their working tools, such as vehicles, mobiles and furniture, and their houses and documents have been vandalized, but some of these organizations have not despaired and have continued to struggle to serve the citizens and have returned to voluntary work, despite the possibilities, to serve the citizen and the nation in these disastrous circumstances that the Sudanese people are going through, including forced displacement, homelessness and lack of the simplest necessities of life.
The voluntary and charitable work of these organizations, and in these critical circumstances that the country is going through, makes us take our hats off in thanks, appreciation, loyalty and gratitude for their valuable efforts in the service of the people of this country.
He who does not thank people does not thank God. From this point of view, it was necessary for us to praise these organizations and salute their efforts, because we believe in their great pioneering role in serving the citizen and the nation in these difficult circumstances. in order to encourage others to enter this field and support these voluntary organizations so that they continue their work in all parts of the world, Qatar is a service to the people of this country, and until other local organizations find support and support to continue. their work in the service of society and the state in the absence of foreign organizations that have deliberately hidden themselves in order to serve the agendas of their country and have forgotten their voluntary and humanitarian role in serving citizens around the world.
