These protests are continuing to ravish against the dictatorship of President Omar Al-Bashir. Yesterday, was yet another day of massive protests against him. Where he there are reports of shots at an Educational Hospital in Omdurman. That is what this regime does to its own.
That is why its brave to go on the streets, to scream and chant against the President. To show the National Congress Party (NCP) and President, that its enough. They are brave as the people are shot and dying. As people are arrested, taken away and family members has gone missing. That is why they are brave, they are standing up and being resilient against a man, who has no trouble finishing them off. Using militias, using Janjaweed (Rapid Security Force) or National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS). All in the game of silencing and intimidating the public. Which it has done, again and again over the last few weeks. Since the start of the protest mid-December 2018.
The President should be afraid, should start to get anxious, as the public dismay isn’t stopping and their ability to gather isn’t dwindling, but instead growing. They don’t respect him or his orders. The public are not content with his management and his actions as their representative, as their leader. They are tired and ready for someone representing them. That is why they continue to settle the score in the streets.
That is the continued bravery, the ability to counter and stand up for their rights. The Sudanese people should be proud, what they are mustering and showing the whole world. That they are not picking arms, but using civic force to show the President who has the real power. The men with arms, with the guns has the ability to make people hurt and stop. But they have not the power to settle an idea, that is already established within the people. If they could, then this would have been settled. However, its not, because of the idea and the bravery of the public. Who in the midst of the worst intimidation, the worst harassment, the bickering sinister acts of the authorities. Are still in the streets chanting against them.
The Schools and Universities are now closed. The Internet is either blocked or slow, the Social Media sites is blocked. The amount of dead has rise already to over 40 and who knows what is the real number of detained people, but that is rising to. That is the answer from the government after weeks of protest. Still, people are gathering, not giving way or in to the regime. They are not accepting the mere fact of continuing, where it left off.
There also being put in place emergency laws and curfews around the Republic. Surely as an effort to contain the protests. But the mere size of the protests yesterday. Shows that these measures doesn’t mean to much. Even as he unverified results of it, was another 3 dead. Which is three to many. None should die over a power-struggle, but then again Al-Bashir has been collecting skulls since taking power.
Its been since 1989, the man has ruled for 30 year non-stop. The public is enough of the bloodshed and misuse of power, enough of the corruption and the rot within the state. It is time for change and proper representation in the chambers of power.
But, for now, before that happens. Salute to the brave men and woman, who are on the front-line and fighting the blood-thirsty President. The man that has embodied the vision of single ruler without any question. The man who has used militias and used the state as private enterprise. Is now under fire, by ordinary men and woman, by people who has everything to loose by challenging him. Still, they continue. That is bravery without no questions.
When they are chanting in the streets, as the tear-gas, the live-bullets and the armed guards or soldiers popping up. They are still there, standing or walking towards the destination, towards the hopeful future where this ends. Where the Presidency and Reign ends. That is where they are walking towards. In the midst of the all the tragedies, they are continuing and pushing with hope for change. That is what is brave.
All of the people, who has stood there and done this over the three last weeks are brave, the courage and the strength to continue. Is admirable and shows commitment to the cause. I salute you. You deserve it. Your bravery should not be forgotten, neither should we forget the ones who lost their lives for the cause. The ones that is healing and the ones in prison. You all are heroes fighting the oppression and the dictatorship. You deserve credit and words cannot express properly, as the praise will be insignificant to the cost you already carry for standing their and being their in midst of the fight against the dictator. Peace.
