Stopping the War..!

By: Ali Askouri

I do not know why some people are circling around about how to stop the war, because this matter, in essence, is clearer than the sun in the middle of the day.
The militia is a force that was affiliated with the army and rebelled against it and sought the help of external forces, mercenaries, etc.
The army law – not only in Sudan – but in all armies stipulates that any component of the army that rebels against the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief must be subjected and forced to submit to the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief. Otherwise, the army does not become an army. What is certain is that armies are based on instructions from the commander-in-chief down to the youngest soldier, and they are implemented without question.
If the army agreed to negotiate political issues with a group that rebelled against it, the army would no longer be an army. Rather, it would become a political party, and its controls and the structure on which it was based would collapse from its foundations.
At the beginning of this war, the Commander-in-Chief issued clear instructions to members of the RSF Militia to lay down their weapons and adhere to army controls. After that, many officers and soldiers submitted to the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief and directly surrendered themselves and their equipment to the commanders of the various units. A large number of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) (before it was dissolved and turned into a militia) refused to carry out the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief, and accordingly turned itself directly into a rebel group. Then the Commander-in-Chief had no choice but to subjugate them by force, whatever the cost, not to negotiate with them.
In reality, there is nothing for the rebel militia to negotiate except laying down its weapons and surrendering. Otherwise, it is the army’s duty to subjugate it, even by completely crushing it.

For all of this, the advocates of stopping the war must contact the militia to lay down their arms and surrender. Then the war will stop immediately. As for talking about political negotiations with a group that rebelled against the Commander-in-Chief and tried to kill him and his comrades in command, this violates the army’s law and controls on which the killing is based. It also creates a very dangerous precedent that allows every area commander in the army to rebel against him and then request negotiations on political issues.
Those who support the militia, including tourists of (Taqaddum) and others, who demand the army’s exit from politics, must first cancel their memorandum with the militia because it legitimizes the army’s work in politics. If they are serious about what they say, they should first demand that the militia lay down its weapons and not talk about political issues because the militia differs from the armed movements. The armed movements were never part of the army, and it is not correct for them to say that they rebelled against the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief, unlike the militia, which was part of the army subject to the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief.
Tourists of Taqaddum’s attempt to transform the militia into an armed movement with a political agenda undermines their credibility and exposes their contradiction. The insult to credibility stems from their demand for the army’s withdrawal from politics, knowing in advance that the militia was part of the army and had no right to put forward a political agenda, they signed a memorandum filled with declared and hidden political goals. As for the contradiction, it is your demand that the army leave politics and then you go on to accept that part of it work in politics. More than that, the army is required to negotiate with them about a political agenda.
From what people necessarily knew from the history of political conflicts, not in Sudan but around the world, any army officer or group of officers with a political agenda usually risks their lives to carry out a coup and undermine the existing regime. Either its coup succeeded and its agenda was implemented, or the coup failed and its planners were taken away and the army law was applied to them. There is no negotiation, and even in the rare cases in which there was negotiation, it was about surrender and laying down of arms.
As for calling for political negotiations with a group that rebelled against the Commander-in-Chief, killed thousands, displaced millions, ruined and destroyed the country, and committed reprehensible crimes, this is pure arrogance and foolishness, and the attempt to enact a new year in the army law will inevitably lead to its weakening and dismantling.
Stopping the war, tourists of Europe and Africa, is a very simple matter. Tell your military wing to lay down arms and the war will stop immediately without even mediation. Otherwise, there is no choice for the Sudanese army and people but to completely crush the militia until peace returns to our country.
This land is ours
