Sudan: Sudanese Congress Party – Press Release (16.01.2022)

Yesterday, Saturday, January 15, 2022 AD, the Ministry of Culture and Information in the coup authority withdrew the license of Al-Jazeera Mubasher news channel to conduct its media activity in Sudan, in a ruminated incident from the memory of the decisions of the authority of the defunct dictatorial rescue regime.

This unfortunate decision finds all condemnation from us, and it contradicts in its content all the values of freedom of press and media work, and clearly confirms that the coup authority is nothing but an outdated copy of the totalitarian regimes that work to silence mouths and hide the world’s attention from the crimes it commits systematically and it is working to deceive it in order to consolidate the foundations of its rule, and it is also a miserable attempt to send indirect messages of intimidation to all the media and the free local and international press, that it is under the scrutiny and revocation of licenses if it does not adhere to the molds of forgery and media misinformation practiced by the apparatus of the coup authority.

It is also consistent with the incidents of storming the offices of Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath and Al-Araby channels in Khartoum, and the assault and arrest of a number of female journalists from their media teams and other female media professionals.

We in the Media Secretariat of the Sudanese Congress Party declare our full solidarity with Al-Jazeera Mubasher news channel, and with all female media professionals, male and female journalists, and journalists who are committed to professionalism and professionalism in conveying the truth during their coverage of the news of Sudan and the anti-coup mass movement, we appreciate their valued roles and their steadfastness in the face of the machine of oppression and restriction, and we stress that this decision clearly reveals the state of terror and confusion experienced by the coup authority, which is now taking its last breath and is inevitably on the verge of demise.

Opinion: Boris isn’t a “big dog” but a boozehound

Who let the dogs out?

Who, who, who, who, who?

Who let the dogs out?

Who, who, who, who, who?

Who let the dogs out?” Baha Men – Who Let The Dogs Out (2000).

There is now officially well-known that in Downing Street No. 10 or elsewhere, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has during lockdown and social distancing been busy with parties in his official flat and elsewhere to. The PM has been revealed to have several of parties, participate in even more and also travelled to exchequer, as others was banned from visiting their second homes or see other people.

We know why there is outrage and people feel betrayed, as the social distancing and rules of the lockdowns stopped them from meeting people or even saying the final goodbye to their loved ones. Therefore, the PM and Tories are now launching a plan called “Operation Save Big Dog” where the civil servants or lower bracket appointees will take the fall instead of the PM. That is his way to save his face, but we know now that his a boozehound.

The PM likes a party and take time away from his duties. There been revealed that his participated at so many parties, it is actually parte-after-parte. The parties seemingly never ending and the people was even sent put to buy more booze. If the party is in the flat or the garden. Heck, if it is one of the government departments or in Exchequer. With the amount of revealed parties, it seems that his life been a giant party. 

That the PM says his the “big dog” shows that he believes his important, prominent or a powerful person. Which is true as the PM of the United Kingdom. He has a notable role in the government and his office oozes power. However, his there as a representative and as an elected official. Not a monarch or unelected person, which means he needs the support of the public. Their confidence and trust in him is vital. 

So not shockingly, the PM never takes responsibility or accountability. He doesn’t show any real remorse and he doesn’t care. Now he has a plan to let someone else take the fall for his failure. Just like the PM and Tories has blamed so much on the European Union for the other failure called Brexit. Now, the PM plans to blame the appointees or the public servants underneath him. That’s what sort of leader he is. Well, we know by now, that he prefer being wasted, than showing up at important meetings…

That he thinks his a big dog. Maybe he made the plan while listening to the Dogg Pound or Snoop Dogg. For all we know, maybe he listened to DMX or Nate Dogg… because his now the “Big Dog” and he could be next for the “Top Dawg” as well. That just shows how this man is constantly shit-faced. 

As the “Big Dog”, the prominent person or as the high ranking official. He should know that his responsible for his actions. The PM should take on his big boy pants and humbly resign. However, we know that he will not do that in a heartbeat. Even if that is what people is calling for. He has disgraced his office and the kingdom. The constant bottle-service has mattered more than lockdown rules. 

People should let this boozehound out… It is time for him to leave his office and be a civilian again. He is more into drinking and getting boozed up than being a representative anyway. While others followed the rules. He was busy drinking and parting, as the pandemic was running a rampage on the NHS and the general public. Therefore, the PM should save face and not let other take the blame of his drunk adventures.

The boozed up PM shouldn’t blame the alcohol on anyone else than himself for that matter. If he does that, he should maybe consider to dry up or become a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. Since he cannot stop drinking or holding parties. As the public wasn’t allowed to do that in the same time period. He still had too and he used his own flat to make it happen. He got pissed and others was dismissed. 

We know it’s bad when he calls himself the “big dog” and I doubt he feels like Getto Boy’s Scarface who dropped the single “Big Dogg Status” in 2007. Boris isn’t that kind even if he feels special or unique while his sipping on some brew. Especially, as he thinks the more, the merry. That why he held parties so frequently.  

This boozehound doesn’t need saving, but needs to disgracefully step down. He needs to take into account his own actions and be a big boy. That is what is needed, as people have stepped down for a lot less and been responsible leaders. However, Johnson thinks he can whether storm and think others can take the blame.

It just shows that he doesn’t understand the sentiments within the public or what sort of actions he has done. He thinks it doesn’t matter, because he did it and his used to get away with it. While thousands has been charged and fined for doing similar things in the Kingdom. Therefore, the PM should be a man and not be hammered on the public’s dime. Peace.

Sudan: Forces of Freedom and Change – Freedom and Change (14.01.2022)

We affirm the position of freedom and change that there is no partnership, as it has ended completely and was torn apart by the coup authority on October 25, and that there is no negotiation or bargaining with those who continue to kill the sons of this people. There is no solution but to completely step down from the power of the coup.

The military institution represented by the armed forces of the people is an institution owned by the Sudanese and its duty is to protect the citizens and to ensure their security and stability of this country. We invite this institution to play its role.

We send a clear message to the region and the international community about the violations that are happening by the security forces affiliated with the military coup authority against the citizens, and we call on them to show solidarity with the people of Sudan.

We strongly condemn the violations that occur daily by the coup authority against peaceful demonstrators, the most important of which are:

– Direct targeting with live bullets.

– Use of excessive and lethal force against peaceful demonstrators.

– Continuing the series of arrests of a number of members of the resistance committees and cadres of political forces (there are some of them under arrest so far).

– Encroaching on the sanctities of homes by storming them, searching homes, and taking a number of resistance youths away from them.

– Firing tear gas inside hospitals, intimidating the medical cadres, preventing them from performing their duties and duties, and arresting the injured from inside health facilities.

– Beating, dragging and assaulting citizens.

– Physical assault on media professionals and journalists, storming a number of satellite channels and destroying their equipment, which constitutes a flagrant violation of media freedom.

We affirm the peacefulness of the revolution that erupted under the slogan (peaceful, peaceful), and it continues to continue the same approach until now and will continue until the fall of the military coup. This revolution has been peaceful since its beginning in 2018, and it will continue the same approach until the overthrow of the military coup.

We affirm the total rejection of waving the principle of (we or chaos) and we will ensure that the revolution continues its peacefulness, as it is the most powerful weapon, those who plot schemes to legitimize violence to drag the country into chaos and urban warfare will not succeed.

We assume our responsibility towards this country and stand united with the people against the military coup and we will continue to work until it is overthrown.

We affirm our position that there is neither partnership nor negotiation with the military component of the authority.
