The Chair

By: Alaa Babiker

God has created human and He knows what’s inside their minds and souls. He knows that everyone has good and bad in him. When good dominates a better version is created, and when bad dominates a much worse version is created. It is up for the man himself to decide whether good or bad dominates in him, and only then he is responsible for his actions.

At a glance, one thought that this war inside Sudan lands is for the punishment of the ruling system, those politicians that have been racing for more than 30 years to get to the Chair “the curse” that most of politicians not just dream about regularly, but work hard and bad to get to it!

Considering a deeper insight, this war is not just a miserable race for the Chair, it has other two important dimensions:-

1. The activation of numerous businesses of different dangerous and illegal types. Guns and explosives. Before the war, one of the major illegal businesses inside the Capital was drugs trading, which has reached a very scary level. But now after the war, a new more scary trading is rising inside the Capital! We need more than just one man on The Chair, we need brave men to care for the country and the people before even thinking of their Cut of the Cake!

2. The sins of the whole population combined. We have been living in great illiteracy, it is fact that the past government had deliberately produced illiterate nation only for the sake of their longterm ruling, but as a nation many of us knew the wrong and then just kept on doing so, Envy, Corruption, Bribery, Cheating, Murder, and more sins that no one would imagine happening inside the civilized Capital of Khartoum. Not just that, even after the war, many people are in continuous doing of what is wrong and don’t care about the situation they’re at!

Before talking about The Chair and who will sit there, we truly need to allow the right to reside inside our hearts, and think as one nation about how to rise up again after all of this “still on going” destruction of Sudan, how to be stopped and how to be built-up again.

May God grant wisdom upon our leaders to end this war.
