Orbits: Chapter VII Is Around the Corner

By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid

A widespread circulated news article stipulates that the US Administration will support the issue of military intervention in Sudan under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations under a USA command.
Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations provides the constitutional basis of the involvement of regional organizations in the maintenance peace and security for which the Security Council is primarily responsible.
However, the activation of Chapter VII will allow for the entrance of foreign international to control the military and paramilitary forces camps.
It also allows for establishing military bases in any town in the country.
The international forces will have the right to form a caretaker government just like the Iraqi sample.
Chapter VII is the only Charter which allows for using military intervention through UN and UNSC resolutions.
It is the failure of our military and civilian components to run the transitional period that led to this disastrous step.
Several countries are waiting for imposing the decision in order to have a footprint and bring its forces to control Sudan like what is going in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
To sum it up, imposing Chapter VII means complete occupation and dismantling the Sudanese Armed Forces and dissolving the political parties besides other authoritarian arbitrary measures.
This means the end of the an independent country called Sudan.
