Division, Civil war, International Interventions: Taqaddum scarecrows (3-3)

As I See

Taggadum have only one narrative, which is their scarecrows to intimidate the Sudanese people and make them succumb to the explanations provided by the militia that is now going around in search of a solution but at the same time claiming to be victorious in the battle field. In the previous two articles, I have discussed the scarecrow of division and of the civil war. Today I will review the scarecrow of international intervention.

One is surprised when the Taggadum talk about the scarecrow of international intervention, as if the world today does not intervene, as if they do not see these summits that are held from time to time, the meetings of presidents and organizations and the sessions of the Security Council and international envoys.
It was as if they didn’t know that the UN Security Council held its first session on the war in Sudan in the first two weeks of its outbreak, when UK presented its first unjust draft resolution regarding the war in the Sudan.
Didn’t they see weapons inflow from all corners of the continent, south and west, despite the international arms embargo by the Security Council? Didn’t they see international mercenaries: Yemenis, Libyans, Chadians, and Russians (Wagner), fighting as mercenaries in the streets of Khartoum?
Didn’t they hear that planes (through 47 flights) came from the Emirates alone, according to international monitoring, carrying weapons and equipment for the Janjaweed in Am Jaras in preparation for their transfer to the battlefield?
As if they had not seen the leader of the rebel militia touring the countries of the continent and being received like head of state on a red carpet!! What else could be interference in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state could be other than this??
Did they not know that all the continent’s organizations have been recruited to work for the interests of the Janjaweed from IGAD to the African Union, and that most of the neighboring countries also opened their borders for supplies, weapons, and mercenaries to pass through, and some of them established training camps, hospitals, etc.?
Did they not receive the news of international envoys who were appointed – an American, an Algerian, a British, a human rights activist, and three recently appointed by Mr. Musa Faki as a committee to deal with the Sudanese crisis? Do they not know that American sanctions, instead of targeting the aggressor rebels, are now flowing at the head of the Sudanese government?!! European sanctions imposed yesterday on government companies for no reason!
Strange enough that the Taqaddum activists are touring countries day and night begging for an intervention into the Sudanese affairs and then the tempt to scare us against that intervention!

Well, if all the above mentioned is not regional and international intervention in the domestic Sudanese crisis, then how could it be? What do they mean when they try to intimidate us by international intervention and what does it look like? What form does it take so that we should get scared?
For example, Dr. Al-Shafi’ Khadr, a respectable man (progressive but not affiliated with Taqaddum, just imagine), is afraid from war prolongation which might lead to international intervention. He says “If the war lasts longer, in addition to its developing into a large-scale regional war, it might attract in some other countries of the world with interests in the region, in light of the conflict of strategic interests between Western countries, especially the United States, France and the United Kingdom, in the face of the interests of China and Russia. All countries of the world are concerned with the security of the Red Sea, in which battles are currently taking place with the participation of some of these countries. Several countries are competing to establish military bases on Sudan’s long coast on the Red Sea, and all of these countries have relations with both sides of the war.”
Meaning that the interests of the conflicting countries in the region will be draw in international intervention? It has already happened, so why the fear? The conflict is most intense between France and Russia in West Africa and West Sudan, and between China and America in all of Africa, and Sudan is part of it, but these are continuous conflicts and are not caused by war, and they will not stop if war stops now.

When Taqaddum hints at international intervention, in its imagination and hopes, the world will come to the rescue of the Janjaweed and save them using UN resolutions that belong to Chapter Seven, which allows military intervention. These are wishes that are not based on any knowledge of the nature of international interventions and the uses of Chapter Seven.
The war occurred in the south and the Security Council did not intervene under Chapter Seven. The Ethiopian-Eritrean war broke out and the Security Council did not intervene under Chapter Seven. When Chapter Seven was used in the Darfur crisis, the Security Council met all of Khartoum’s preconditions.
When the Tigray region fought the Ethiopian government and almost overthrew it, the Security Council did not use Chapter Seven. The Security Council itself is divided over the Sudan issue, and it cannot pass a resolution like this under Chapter Seven, and the world is preoccupied with issues that are more dangerous than the Sudan crisis (Ukraine and Gaza). But if the Security Council wanted to intervene, what forces would send thousands of their soldiers to invade Sudan?! All the West African countries in ECOWAS were unable to intervene in Niger because they feared greater chaos than the generals’ coup against Bazoum, let alone the chaos that any international military intervention would cause in a country the size of Sudan.
The goal of all these scarecrows that they talk about is to save the Janjaweed from being crushed sooner or later. The goal is to return them to the political arena so that they can rise to power with the Janjaweed’s rifles. This is an open game that will deceive only the Taggadum and savage herd of Janjaweed!!
