Orbits: Keyboard Political Powers!
By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid
The backbone of the political opposition forces currently supporting the rebellion rests on individuals who are permanent guests in the TV channels claiming that they represent the Sudanese political parties and entities.
Those delusion lack a clear ideological or political foundation, but
despite that they are speaking about signing a declaration of principles in Nairobi.
The manifest of the transitional government they are intending to announce is based on the ideology of the Rapid Support Forces, which was founded to fight what they call the 1956 state.
Their weakness and their lack of a solid base, preventing them from gaining popular support, has led them to fall into the hands of foreign powers.
They are aware of their weakness and their misfortune in representing the Sudanese people, and they know very well that elections will not bring them to power.
The gathering of those desperately seeking power has been joined by remnants of the major Sudanese parties: the Umma Party, the Democratic Unionist Party, and the National Congress Party.
Despite this weakness in gaining popular support and representation, they have presented a model of governance that serves as a benchmark for understanding the fate they intend to drag Sudan towards.
All of them ruled in the name of Freedom and Change, a movement whose foundations were built on leftist ideas. They assumed power by chance, exploiting a popular movement against the Al-Bashir’s regime.
They ruled in conjunction with the Rapid Support Forces.
Their rule was marked by every kind of betrayal and a complete disregard for democratic values. They marginalized political forces and formed a government of inexperienced figures, lacking any roadmap .
Their government operated with widespread authoritarianism, dismantling the foundations of the state. They spread corruption that surpassed all previous corruption in Sudan.
The result of this rule was a decline in services, soaring prices, scarcity of goods, a weakening of the education system, and the erosion of social values.
All of this occurred while the country was effectively handed over to foreign powers, and even their salaries were paid from them, yet they continued to disburse government salaries.
These weak forces want to lead Sudan to ruin, and the path they are pursuing leads to one of two things: either the Rapid Support Forces will take control and rule Sudan, or it will be divided so that a state of tyranny can be established in Darfur.
