Tongues and Pens: Wars have more than five benefits

Babker Ismail

It was said in the past that travel has five benefits:

Travel, for in travel there are five benefits
Relief from worries and earning a living
Knowledge, manners and the company of the noble

And it is stated in the Qur’an:

“Fighting has been prescribed for you, though it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you do not know.”

Surat Al-Baqarah ( verse 216)

And in it is that fighting, despite its cruelty and severity, has good in it.

The battle of dignity was imposed on us by the thieving militia called the dissolved Rapid Support Forces RSF whose backbone and mainstay are the Darfuri Atawa tribes, who are fighting and distributed across several countries extending from western Sudan to the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean.
They are fierce pastoral tribes that depend on movement, grazing, wars and looting for their livelihood.
There are a few who are less aggressive and more stable, distributed across the states of Darfur, and some of them have settled in the various states of Sudan.
One of the benefits of this war is that it showed us that there are tribal systems living on the land of Sudan with values ​​that differ from the rest of the population.. So this itself changes the stereotype of the tolerant, simple, generous and chivalrous Sudanese citizen..
So we now have two Sudanese citizens, one of whom does not hesitate to steal his neighbor’s money, rape his free women and kill his neighbor in cold blood. We used to rule that out before this war..
But after it, let each of us look at his neighbor to know if his evils are safe or if they are a treacherous wolf..
One of the benefits of this war is the end of the myth of the Rapid Support Forces RSF which corrupted morals, civil service and political parties and sought to change the demographic composition in Khartoum and the big cities and penetrated the army, regular forces and civil service.. All of this relying on the power of weapons and financial bribes.
We saw singers, poets, politicians, academics, professionals and regular officers who were treacherous with this criminal militia and its thieving incubator..
One of the benefits of this war is that we got to know our enemies and friends in neighboring countries and regional countries and that a country like the United Arab Emirates UAE is one of the most Our enemies and their regional followers such as Chad, Kenya, South Sudan and others who hid far from us ..
One of the benefits of this war is that we learned that the homeland is a sublime value that is not subject to compromise or division, and that it is a noble, beautiful, precious homeland whose soil has no price, and that it is a land that contains the remains of our ancestors, and for which we sacrifice our souls.
This war united the Sudanese on a single word, so we saw the Darfuri defending Shendi and the blood of Maj.Gen. Yassir Fadlallah watering the sands of Nyala .. And Mohamed Siddiq, the knight, slender in his height and lofty in his patriotism, defended the revolutionaries’ fever in April 2019 and generously gave his soul in a never-failing way for the homeland in May 2024.
In both cases, his saying did not change, so let the delicate be saved ..
He is a peak that souls cannot reach, and peace be upon him among the immortals ..
How many have called themselves the friend and have not gone beyond being a friend of the thieving militia and its gold that steals the sight from every direction and from whomever comes ..
The war brought out the knights of Sudan, so they called out From every deep valley of their migration and from the villages and hamlets of Sudan, there is a popular resistance, mujahideen, battalions of Islamists, those angry about the homeland, and resistance committees, nomads, women, knights, lions, and eagles.
They fought with words, tongues, spears, hearts, hands of supplication, scalpels of surgery, feeding, and hospices.
And deaths and raids. Oh, my suffering.
We want to build a new Sudan with new social and political values ​​engineered by our sociologists and get rid of all superficial, sterile values, deception, fraud, social evasion, exaggeration and hypocrisy..
We want our nation to be a fighting, struggling nation.. We are all soldiers in the service of this beautiful homeland..
We carry weapons and brandish them at every commotion..
We will build our Sudan despite the wounds, despite the looting, theft and destruction of the infrastructure. There will be no money of a tyrant or a tyrant, and no treacherous hand will ever put a brick in the wall of the homeland..
It will be built by the honorable and free women with pure wombs, despite the rape and pain..
Despite the blood and tears, despite the thirst and hunger..
Let everyone stand in line to build the homeland..
The dirt has been removed from us, sadness and harm have been removed from us, and we have been cured.. And the affliction has been removed and brought down..
For we are the soldiers of Allah ,the soldiers of the homeland..
