Orbits: How Can we Achieve Victory?

By: Muawad Mustafa Rashid

I came through a very impressive and interesting article written by the renowned expert of strategy, Prof. Mohammed Hussein Abu-Salih under the above title.
For the benefit of our readers I hereunder summarize the said article:
* War is not only a gun, but there are a lot of tools for killing and destruction.
* Victory could not be achieved with only destroying the enemy’s war machine.
* Victory could not be achieved by killing that soldier who is behind his machinegun.
* The victory, building the national state and making the bright future could be when we;
– Know who is our enemy.
– Admit our falts.
– Lay the foundation of wise and rational Sudanese vision.
– Build the state of institutions.
– establish an ethical fence to protect the national performance.
– Preserve human rights and dignity.
– Boost the existence of independent and just judicial authority.
– establish modern educational system.
– The national identity tops the tribalism and political loyalties.
– Obtain a platform to administrate and mobilized knowledge.
– Obtain a platform for national thinking.
– Balance between between political power and professionalsm.
– Practice politics according to knowledge, justice and morals.
– Form rational political parties which own it’s will and practice good governance within itselves.
– Unify the national fefeelings.
– Stop stop excluding others.
– Upgrade our conduct to the level of distinguishing between the homland and the party or the tribe.
– Prevent corruption.
– Upgrade the national awareness.
– Recognize that the trustworthy of any official is not enough to make the future, but the trustworthy of the citizen is required to achieve the aspired future.
-Stop nepotism and discrimination in dealing with each other.
– Stop bribery.
– Stop wasting time and resources.
– Respect the rule of law.
– Fight racism.
– Respect the teachers.

This change is not about persons, but an approach to thinking or say methodological thinking.
