The (Taqaddum- C.P.A.) group was never certain of anything on any day. (Taqaddum) is the unknown daughter with no father, adopted and cared for by the international community. With so many supervisors and guardians, Taqaddum no longer knows in which direction to go. Therefore, its supervisors found themselves constantly meeting to clarify the way for it because – according to its upbringing – it is incapable of thinking for itself, often getting lost, confused, and mixing things up. Hence, regular meetings became necessary to guide it.
Despite this, there is one thing Taqaddum is sure of, and it is the rejection of the Sudanese people both inside and outside the country. This is something it knows, and its caretakers know it as well.
Instead of reconsidering its misguided stances, which directly contradict the national positions rejecting the militia and calling for its eradication, some of its leaders traveled to Britain to request that it sponsor a Security Council resolution to impose a no-fly zone, send peacekeeping forces, block exports, and other measures to strangle the country and weaken its ability to defend itself. This would allow the militia to win militarily, thus paving the way for C.P.A. to return to power under the protection of foreign armies.
I don’t understand why these leaders took this “long detour” when they could have openly demanded that the world bring them to power as agents under a foreign army to conquer the Sudanese people and their army. As long as Taqaddum’s objective was clear, there was no justification for this “long detour” or trying to hide behind terms whose meanings and implications are now known to everyone.
Taqaddum’s leaders faced clear popular rejection in London, and the situation turned into a huge scandal before their international guardians and the world. However, with their lack of shame and dwindling dignity, they did not return to the right path. Instead, they grew accustomed to continuing their project, holding more meetings in Europe, pursuing their plan to place Sudan under guardianship, and bringing the matter to the Security Council, hoping for a resolution to send peacekeeping forces that would help them regain power under the guise of civilian protection.
This was their last attempt to return to power on the back of Security Council planes and tanks. Now, their attempt has ended in total failure, and they are left in despair.
Thus, the courage and patriotism of Sudanese people, both at home and abroad, broke Taqaddum and led them to the dustbin of history, where the fate of traitors and enemies of the homeland lies. Their regional supporters have abandoned them, and everyone is now saying, “Help has arrived; the oppressors are finished.”
Despite all of this, we must remain cautious. Taqaddum is a satanic plant with a hundred lives. They will continue committing crimes against citizens with their militias, as is happening currently in the Gezira, in order to justify their stance to the world.
We have broken them for now, but we must stay vigilant and monitor their new devil that will rise from the ashes of their bodies. Do not put down your weapons until the last Janjaweed is uprooted from our country, so we can hold a memorial for our martyrs in (Ardmeta), as promised by General Yasser Al-Atta when we visited him in Omdurman last February.
The current collapse of Taqaddum does not mean its eternal end. That will only happen after cleaning our country of all the agitators, those with diseased hearts, and the opportunists. Even those who acted indifferently to the battle should be punished and rebuked. Those who did not actively oppose the invasion have no right to hold public office. This is something we should not waste time on, and we must purge the state’s apparatus of the agitators, cowards, and their remnants.
Our battle does not allow for a middle ground, neutrality, or “no to war.” As former U.S. President George W. Bush said, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
So let everyone take their position, and accountability should reach everyone.
This land is ours.
