Narcissistic Acts: The deliberate sabotage of Shambat Bridge

The deliberate sabotage of Shambat Bridge

By: Alaa Babiker

Today I woke up to the pictures of the Cut-In-Half bridge of Shambat. The greatest bridge that linked the two cities of Bahri and Omdurman. Those photos have made me feel very sad and disappointed at the same time.

Yesterday dozens of innocent people have been killed for no obvious nor logic reasons at all, and today one of the main bridges have been destroyed, what will happen tomorrow?!

The war that has suddenly established on April 15th 2023 is still costing Sudan so much, human and vital resources are forever lost. Unfortunately we can not control or anticipate what is going to happen next, and what happens next is always a disappointment.

The numbers of dead men is sadly increasing, and the sabotaging of Khartoum is in continuous state, which leads one to think of nothing but completely uncertainty. Questioning everything and every power around. When is this going to stop?! When are the Sudanese population going to live their lives peacefully and normally again?! Will it take 10 years like Syria?! Will it end next month?! Or will it be like Rwanda?! Losing tens of thousands of lives and then rise up all over again! We have reach a point that I pray for the last scenario.

In this war, the number of young men being deliberately murdered at one of the random genocides that Sudan has ever gone through is something scary and needs to be stopped immediately. And the random ruin of public, private, and personal properties need to be seriously considered. People will get back to find nothing, I personaly know families that have lost completely everything, they will come back to their houses – God only knows when – and find absolutely nothing but the walls of their house, and they will literally start from the beginning.

I pray for Sudan and for all the Sudanese. God help us, God help Sudan.
