Orbits: Let Us Assume and Compare

By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid

Let us assume that the Sudanese Armed Forces(SAF) fully control River Nile, White Nile, Blue Nile, Northern, kassala Red Sea, North Darfur, North Kordofan, Sennar and Gedaref states.
Let us also assume that the Rapid Support Forces fully control the rest of the states as they allege.
Based on the above assumptions there are some questions and answers.
The first question about the states controlled by SAF, are the people in those states practicing their daily activities normally? Are the banking system there functioning? Are the healthcare facilities there open to provide the required services? Are the police forces doing their job in preserving security and other services included in its mandate? Are the essential commodities available in the markets?
The answer simply is YES.
Then we come to the assumed RSF-controlled states and ask the same above questions. The answer is that there is no security to allow people practice their daily activities. All the public facilities were looted and burnt. The RSF are practicing all types of atrocities e.g. rape, theft, kidnapping, killing, etc.. In short there is no life there.
Another question, why do people flee their home villages when the RSF enter into it? The answer is that all the services such as power and water supply, besides communication and primary healthcare will stop.
Where is the destination of those who flee the RSF-controlled areas?
The answer is that they go to the SAF-controlled states because it represent their safe haven where they find security, and all the required services functioning normally.
Our message to the so-called Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) is to refrain from its failed political approach and to restore to the voice of wisdom by pulling out from being an ally to the RSF and its sponsors.
