Military Coup In Sudan | "The People Are Stronger"

After the coup in Sudan, the military has a problem: the population is resisting the "Egyptian way".

Monday, October 25th, early morning in Khartoum. Nobody is surprised when the soldiers arrive. Least of all the prime minister, whom the generals have been threatening for days. Armed men kidnap Abdalla Hamdok and his wife Muna Abdalla to an undisclosed location. Military vehicles hit the streets, blocking bridges over the Nile. State television plays patriotic songs on a loop, ministers are arrested. In the afternoon, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, appears in front of the cameras, declares the state of emergency and the interim government under Hamdok's leadership as dissolved. According to Burhan, the military had to act "to ensure the security of the country". It's a coup, even if Burhan doesn't want to call it that.

Sudan's army, it seems, on October 25th, embarked on the "Egyptian route" and laid the grave lid on democratization . Burhan and Egypt's president and ex-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sissi are close friends. The last thing Al-Sissi wants in his "backyard" is a democratic Sudan. Both also enjoy the support of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Free elections, protection of civil rights and transparent governance do not appear in their worldview either.

General Burhan, however, has a problem: Sudan's protest movement is bigger, more closed and more organized than the Egyptian ever was.

What Do We Do?

Be it the beginning of the year or the beginning of the day, an idea immediately comes to mind as to what to do. But there is a lot to be done, but something should be done that will benefit others and the relationship will not be strained. The year 2020 ended like a movie, but now what about 2021? God knows. ۔ ۔

But the war that erupted in 2020, peace agreements were made, governments were formed and ended, although it would not be wrong to say that the dangerous beginning of 2020 may not have started this year. Because in the beginning of 2020, where the United States killed Iranian General Qasim Soleimani in an air strike, the end also passed through the complicated phase of the US election and President Biden took the command of the presidency. Run because the past always determines the future. So the same question, what to do?

A Secret Meeting | Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu With Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman

Israeli media reports and government ministers have claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for historic talks with Saudi Arabia, while Netanyahu declined to comment on the news.

It is believed that the Saudi Foreign Minister has rejected these reports circulating in the media.

According to the AFP news agency, Israeli media and a minister said that Netanyahu had met with the Saudi Crown Prince.

Reports suggest that Israel and the Arab world's most powerful country are close to establishing ties, after the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed a US-brokered agreement.

Israeli state broadcasters and other media outlets reported that Netanyahu and Mossad chief Yousef Meyer Cohen, along with the US Secretary of State, met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in New York.

According to the report, Israeli government sources confirmed the meeting, requesting anonymity.

Netanyahu, on the other hand, said in response to a question at his party meeting that 

I have never commented on these things and do not intend to do so

Recognizing Israel would give Iran, Qatar and Saudi Arabia a chance to kill

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, like the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, flatly refused to recognize Israel. Haiim Saban, an American-born Israeli billionaire , made this claim in an exclusive interview with the Israeli newspaper Harris. Saban says Prince Mohammed bin Salman fears that if Saudi Arabia recognizes Israel, Iran, Qatar and the Saudi people will have a chance to assassinate him. The Israeli billionaire also attended the UAE, Bahrain and Israel peace agreement ceremony at the White House on September 15. He added that Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz was opposed to recognizing Israel and wanted to implement the Arab-Israeli peace plan agreed in 2002 in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Saban added that religious circles have a strong influence on the Saudi people, while recognizing Israel could jeopardize Saudi Arabia's monopoly on the Holy Shrines and its reputation in the Islamic world. It may be recalled that the United Arab Emirates had announced a peace agreement with Israel on August 13 and Bahrain on September 11 and the two countries had signed the agreement on September 15 at the White House. Following the agreement, the number of Arab states recognizing Israel has risen to four, followed by Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994. Now another Arab country, Sudan, has agreed to a peace deal with Israel. Sudan is also an important country in that it has fought against Israel in the past.

REVOLUTION IN SUDAN | The genocides of Darfur continue to kill without the deposed dictator Al Bashir

The first day of "civil disobedience" summoned by the democratic opposition to the regime of the headless Al Bashir, three people are already dead, although the information blackout may be able to hide some more. It is a general strike to which barricades must be united throughout the city to prevent traffic . At the moment, only state banks and official agencies are open.
The heart has been removed by the corrupt body, but the rest of the organs and limbs are still poisoned. With the fall of the dictator Omar al Bashir, an implacable satrap for decades with his opponents - who is still being held in some secret place - the soldiers who were holding him and knocking him down do what they have always done : exert terror with their own population to continue governing without anyone questioning their power.
When Bashir fell, many thought that the Sudanese revolution had been completed. The military, on the other hand, set up a transition table (in which they are only) to organize elections (also led by them) to find a president. Protesters in Khartoum, who for months clamored on the streets for a democratic country and elected leaders, have suffered something they had only seen on the news from international media: the massacres that Bashir had directed against rival ethnic groups in Darfur, Kordofan or Blue Nile are reproduced now, in the same way, against the middle-class youth who are the protagonists of the revolution.
Last week these soldiers opened fire on unarmed students in the vicinity of their headquarters, where they had set up a protest camp. Accompanied by the usual propaganda in this type of repressive regimes, the more than 100 deaths that were scattered on the asphalt were no longer demonstrators, but "dangerous terrorists" fed and financed "by the enemies of Sudan."
Behind that table of military coup plotters we find the name of an old man known in war crimes: General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemeti , leader of the so-called Rapid Action Forces, that is, a nickname for the Yanyaweed militias responsible for the genocide of Darfur. The method is the same as in ethnic cleansing, appearing with their pick-ups , killing dozens of unarmed people, raping women, burning their stores and denying that this has happened. Up to 9,000 soldiers of these units are at your command in the capital of Sudan.
Hemeti has no affiliation with young middle-class university students who are protesting a democratic Sudan. He is a man born in a rural area with great experience in repressing opponents . In fact, he was Bashir's right arm in this type of operation. He directed counterintelligence and was nicknamed by Bashir The man without mercy. Amnesty International also recalls that he is a key figure in the abduction and mistreatment of Somali and Eritrean migrants who cross the country to Libya.
He has been seen fighting in Yemen with the forces supported by Saudi Arabia, financiers of his military unit, against the Houthi militias backed by Iran.
Meanwhile, the youth associations that were involved in the revolution feel betrayed and lack a different strategy to be able to fight not against Bashir, but against their corrupt state.

A final report from the central committee of doctors reported at least 108 civilians killed and more than 500 wounded in three days, the vast majority in the dispersion of the sit-in. Of the dead, 40 were found in the waters of the Nile, said this source without giving any other details.

Rejection of the offer of dialogue of the Transitional Military Council
Due to the insecurity, the capital looked like a ghost town on this day of celebration of the Muslim Fitr festival, marking the end of Ramadan: shops with the iron curtain down, traffic very limited, only a few people have ventured in the street. The mobile internet is no longer accessible since Monday, while social networks play a major role in the protest movement.
