Sudan: The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) – Press Statement (11.04.2023)

The regime that was overthrown by our people will not return, and the revolution will reach its final victory

Today, the eleventh of April, marks the fourth anniversary of declaring the victory of our people and the glorious December revolution against the totalitarian, terrorist, rescue regime. And ending that dark era in the history of the homeland that extended for thirty years. The fall of that tyrannical regime by the will of the Sudanese men and women is an affirmation of the ability and willpower of the masses to defeat tyrants and achieve victory over them.

To end up like those who preceded him, defeated and defeated by a people, if he is determined, determined, and unified his word, then he is victorious over all who accustomed him. The victory of the eleventh of April is an affirmation of the determination of the Sudanese people in achieving the goals and slogans of the glorious December revolution in freedom, peace, justice, and ending the era of military coups and the establishment of a constitutional, democratic civil rule, the dismantling of the empowerment of the 1989 A.D. salvation regime over the state and the homeland, and the security and military reform to reach a single professional national army that ends the phenomenon of the multiplicity of armies created by the defeated regime, the achievement of transitional justice, and an end to the phenomenon of impunity, this determination and determination was manifested in the valiant and continuous resistance in its various forms, the coup of the twenty-fifth of October from its first moments for nearly a year and a half, and therefore Sudan after the December Revolution and its victory will not be like its predecessor, as the generations that drank from the cup of totalitarianism, corruption and corruption, and stealing and plundering the country’s resources will not accept that the clock turns back, and we will resist to the end any totalitarian or dictatorial tendencies until we defeat them with determination, steadfastness and persistence in various forms for one goal, which is to complete the glorious march of the December revolution and achieve its slogans and goals.

The fourth anniversary of the overthrow of the defeated regime comes upon us in light of the scenes of the growing movements and activities of the elements of its legally dissolved party, amid the disregard and silence of the official, judicial and legal authorities, and the frantic efforts of the elements of the exterminated regime to turn back the clock and fulfill their dreams of the return of their grave regime again.

Forgetting that their regime was overthrown by a popular revolution after they gave our people everything they had for thirty years, the result of which was the misery, misery, devastation and suffering that the country and the people are experiencing today, but a harvest. As a result of those policies and practices, the grave regime that our people overthrew will never return. And the revolution that defeated him and defeated him while he was in power will be defeated by the Sudanese people once again and the December revolution will reach the ports of its victory and eventually defeat its enemies by force and might.

We in the forces of freedom and change call on all the forces of the living revolution, including parties, trade unions, civil bodies, and resistance committees, to strengthen their unity and efforts, and to strengthen their front in seriously confronting all the movements of the elements of the exterminated regime in the capital and the states, just as our people defeated them last time. The same fate and destiny awaits them very soon, and we are certain that our people will end this coup, restore the transition, bury forever all attempts and dreams of returning to totalitarian regimes, and complete their path towards establishing a new, healthy homeland that achieves the slogans of the glorious December revolution of freedom, peace, and justice in a civil, democratic state.

Mercy and forgiveness for the martyrs, male and female martyrs, speedy recovery for all the wounded and injured, return for the missing, freedom for all the innocent detainees in prisons, and a sure victory in the near future for the people of Sudan over the tyrants.

Opinion: Hemeti takes people for fools

Lt. Gen. Mohamed ‘Hemeti’ Dagalo addressed the two coups and the continued junta-controlled government. Where he is trying to sound reasonable and a statesman. This isn’t anything new, because we have seen the same behaviour from the Janjaweed and Rapid Support Force General. He has tried this before and did what he could to look good. That’s why he even used prayers and scriptures to look supreme. The Vice-Chairman and Deputy of the Transitional Council wants to stand-out and be the next in line.

That’s why he said things like this:

“I am a simple son of a desert, I grew up in the far corners of Sudan’s margins, and I received nothing from the state except its violence towards our societies, and its disregard for their basic rights, and I learned many lessons in the School of Life, the most important of which is that the old path of Sudan is unfair and unfair, so when I saw the men and women of the glorious December revolution I did not hesitate to stand with them against the injustice, tyranny, and corruption of the defunct regime. I saw that I shared their desire to change for the better and build Sudan. I tried as much as I could, and I was right at the time, and sometimes I made mistakes, the last of which was the mistake of the October 25 coup, which it became clear to me from its first day that it would not lead to what we wanted” (Hemeti, 19.02.2023).

The Lt. Gen. and Commander of the RSF must think his words can sway people. That they can forget the bloodshed and years under his tyranny. How his forces and his militia members has not only tormented the Darfur region, but also been pivotal in the reign of Omer Al-Bashir. His forces has destroyed, looted and massacred civilians for years. That’s how he rose through the ranks and became a henchman for Al-Bashir. Therefore, him trying to sound sincere and honest… falls flat in my eyes. He is just trying to cease a moment and be a contrast to President Al-Burhan, which is so obvious.

He continues:

“I am a man who grew up in the midst of wars.. I knew and experienced them, so I know the meaning and importance of peace. Since the first days of the transitional government, I have chosen in the Sovereignty Council to take over the peace file, in coordination with the government of former Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok. For I am convinced that there is no future for this country without silencing all the voices of guns and managing our differences with wisdom and good preaching. Wars broke out because of historical grievances on the margins of Sudan, and the December revolution provided an opportunity to address these grievances without wars” (Hemeti, 19.02.2023).

It is deep that he says these words… that a warlord like himself says it. When his forces have killed, tortured and used weapons to silence people. He has profited off wars and so has allies. That’s why he has power and influence. If it wasn’t for the guns and the ammo, he wouldn’t be where he is and that’s a fact. That’s why these words are so shallow and meaningless.

The Lt. Gen. wouldn’t be where he is and resides if it wasn’t for the powerful weapons. It isn’t like he didn’t get power or influence by being a loveable character. No, he got there by serving the previous regime and using a hostile takeover twice to prolong his reign. That’s the gist of it. He only wants to sound reasonable now… to be able to sway the gullible. While the dead and destroyed in Darfur isn’t getting anything from this sort of man. They are left behind… while he prospers in Khartoum.

He ended with: “In conclusion, I reassure the good people of Sudan, in all their hopes, that we are proceeding with the path of the political solution that we started in the framework agreement, and we will proceed with it until the end of the road steadfastly until stability returns to this country, and evils and strife are avoided. This is a covenant we made, and this is a word we say to God, history, and the country, and we will never back down from it” (Hemeti, 19.02.2023).

He wants to be part of the process and the aftermath. As he knows he will loose power and influence the moment the army cease to be in control. That’s why he wants to sound like there is a plan for a civilian rule. Because the revolutionary and the civilian dissent is far from over. They are still on the barricades and plans to continue the revolution. Since the men of Al-Bashir is still in-office and thriving. While the citizens are suffering under their rule.

That’s why Hemeti wants to sound good and feasible. When we all know what sort of man he is. He would have no trouble ending someone’s lives just to gain coins himself. That’s what he does and done for a living. Peace.

Sudan: The Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) – Press Statement (12.02.2023)

We in the Forces for Freedom and Change have been following the systematic ambassadorial campaign since yesterday, Saturday, February 11, 2023, against the background of the meeting that brought together the signatories to the framework agreement with some of the non-signatory forces.

This campaign included a lot of misinformation that amounted to false and misleading news with the aim of harming the political process and slandering its nature, which aims to restore the path of civil democratic transition.

The signatory parties to the framework agreement discussed a draft political declaration with Messrs. Minni Arko Minawi, Jibril Ibrahim and Muhammad Muhammad Othman Al-Mirghani, representatives of their organizations, with the aim of joining the political process now under way, and there are issues under discussion that have not yet been resolved.

The parties to the meeting agreed to avoid any statements that might complicate the course of the discussion, which will continue in the coming days.

Despite the continued promotion of frequent news that implicates the name of freedom and change within incorrect news, we affirm our political and moral commitment to what the signatory parties to the framework agreement agreed upon with the non-signatory parties participating in this discussion by not making any statements about the details of these discussions, in the same context, we renew our commitment to public opinion and the media to have all the information, details and facts complete and undiminished in a timely manner.

As we are accustomed to when dealing with issues related to the future of our homeland, the fate of our people, and their legitimate hopes and aspirations for a state of freedom, peace and justice.

Sudan: Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General – on Sudan (10.01.2023)

The Secretary-General underscores the importance of including the broadest array of Sudanese stakeholders, including women, youth, and civil society.

NEW YORK, United States of America, January 10, 2023 – The Secretary-General welcomes the launch of the final phase in the political process towards restoring a civilian-led transition in Sudan. This step builds on the progress achieved upon the signing of the Political Framework Agreement on 5 December 2022, and marks another important step forward towards realizing the aspirations of the Sudanese people for democracy, peace and sustainable development.

The United Nations, through the Trilateral Mechanism comprised of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in the Sudan (UNITAMS), the African Union (AU), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), remains committed to supporting the process and to help secure a final political agreement over the coming weeks.

To ensure a lasting settlement, the Secretary-General underscores the importance of including the broadest array of Sudanese stakeholders, including women, youth, and civil society. He also urges key stakeholders which did not sign the 5 December Agreement to join the political process. Finally, he stresses the importance of strong and coordinated international support to the political process under the framework of the Trilateral Mechanism.

Sudan: The newest agreement is worthless…

The ones celebrating the agreement between the parties of Forces for Freedom and Change-Central Council (FFC-CC), National Accord Forces (NAF), Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and the Sudanese Ba’ath Party, which they signed with the Sudanese Junta Government on the 5th December 2022.

The ones celebrating that is naive. It is clear the FFC is abandoning the struggle and the fight. As they are taking the easy route out. They continuing the path of Abdalla Hamdok and seems to forgotten the former pledges or promises made by the Transitional Military Council (TMC).

I wouldn’t trust President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan or Vice President Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo aka Hemeti. These two has already tried to hijack the revolution twice and stopped the transition before. They have stopped the transition and the road-map, which was stipulated to give the civilians at one point more power in the Sovereign Council. However, before that could happen… the military overthrow the civilians and took the power all in their hands.

When you know the military and the generals has done this before. Why do you believe them again in 2022? Are you that stupid? Or are you that hungry?

These gentlemen in the Sovereign Council will not relent. They have already ceased power and they not giving it away. The latest agreement is only giving the Khartoum junta a bit more credibility and leverage to the International Community. The agreement between the junta and others will only be served as token peace-offering to get the International Monetary Funds or World Bank on it’s side.

When you have followed the proceedings from Khartoum since Al-Bashir’s fall. You know his henchmen continues their assault on civil society, on activists and the Resistance Councils. These are not part of the agreement. The grass-root organizations are left behind… and the FFC are not a voice for the civilian uprising. Instead, they seem compromised and more willing to trade their integrity for some cheap seats at the table.

The ones trusting Burhan and Hemeti in 2022 is foolish. It is really dumb… they should know better. They will not step down or give way. If so… that would have happen, because of the first agreement and during the reign of Prime Minister Hamdok. However, we saw what happened to him and others. The FFC knows this and still plays along.

The ones celebrating this… are celebrating cheap ink on a paper. The streets and the protests are still brutally cracked down upon. There is still victims of assembling and addressing grievances. FFC and the parties have forgotten these ones in their trade. They are not part of that struggle anymore. When they are joining forces, yet again with the army.

It is really tragic. The fight isn’t over and the ones believing in it are fools. They are buying into a pipe-dream… and a mirage. Burhan and Hemeti is not to be trusted, but still some people are buying into their pledges… which I don’t get. However, here we are and I don’t expect much.

This will end in tears… Peace.
