After Khartoum’s Decision to allow Foreigners to leave..The authorities are between the threat to their security and the need for active political cards

Report – Amir Abdel Majid

Khartoum state issued on Thursday a circular warning foreigners residing in the state, and said that foreigners must leave within (15) days of the issuance of the decision, which bore the signature of the Director of the Department of Foreigners and Immigration Control, Police Col. Nizar Khalil.
He said that the decision was issued based on the Khartoum state Security Affairs Coordination Committee to preserve their lives during the war.
Great risks :

But informed sources confirmed to (Sudan Events ) that the great risks resulting from the presence of foreigners in Khartoum prompted the authorities to take a decision to leave them regardless of their status. Many of those who have not been informed about the nature of things in Khartoum in recent years, or those who were outside it, or those who live outside the country, or even those who left Khartoum in the first months of the war, do not know what most foreigners did to Khartoum and its residents, such as looting, killing, stealing, and dragging.
They do not actually know that the number of foreigners in Khartoum today is perhaps greater than the number of Sudanese, and they now occupy most of the vacant homes.
Elements of the Rapid Support RSF Militia occupy the homes of Sudanese in the areas where they are deployed, and foreigners occupy the homes of Sudanese in other areas. They even practice trade and contribute effectively to the high prices for citizens, and they have an indispensable role in the crises in Khartoum State.
Most of the homes whose residents left were entrusted to foreigners, who often turned them into a place to sell local alcohol, which is now sold openly in the homes and buildings of citizens.
They also turned into traders due to their large presence, and they controlled trade in some areas and became They control the movement of sales and determine the prices of goods.
In fact, most of the shops and kiosks in the areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces RSF or even in the places not controlled by the Rapid Support Forces RSF are now owned by foreigners who, by virtue of their large presence and the freedom of movement available to them, have begun to impose their influence on the Sudanese, most of whom have devoted themselves to military work. If we talk about the remaining youth who chose to defend their homeland and did not leave in search of a future outside the country or in search of safety, waiting to return when the war stops.
Open borders :

The UNHCR had estimated the number of refugees in Sudan at about (10) million refugees, including about (5-6) million Ethiopians, hundreds of thousands of Eritreans, about (5) million South Sudanese, (700,000 Yemenis, and (300,000 Syrians. They were about (3) million, but most of them left through the UNHCR, and some of them obtained Sudanese identity papers and resided in the country as citizens.
These numbers only include refugees, so they do not seem accurate because the open borders brought millions of Ethiopians, for example.
Also, the South Sudanese who left for the south after the secession, most of them returned to Sudan.
If you add to them the number that did not go to the south after the secession, the number will exceed (10) million South Sudanese, and the Ethiopians may reach (10-20) million.
Add to them the huge numbers that Hemeti evacuated from West Africa. The danger of these is that most of them obtained Sudanese identity papers, and they are in the millions.
Most of these foreigners were present in Khartoum, and some of them are like the south.
A Sudanese (Bakubi) was running a well-known criminal gang in the revolutionary areas of Omdurman and practiced theft, looting and murder. He closed the neighborhood where he lived and set up checkpoints for those who entered it and even for those passing through the main streets.
We saw hundreds of South Sudanese participating in the millions of revolution that toppled Al-Bashir and destroying the infrastructure and clashing with the Sudanese police and demanding democracy in a country that is not their country.
We also saw foreigners raising weapons and killing Sudanese and communicating with the militia.
A strange decision :

Lawyer Anas Mohamed Sharif says that the decision of the state security committee seemed strange to me, as the decision gave foreigners a two-week grace period to leave, but it did not clarify what the penalties would be if they did not leave.
Now you are watching. Do you think that these people will leave? I do not think that they fear the decision and will find one way or another to manipulate it, and the authorities will not deport them because in my opinion they are not serious. It was clear from the beginning of the war that these foreigners are a very big loophole in the state’s security, and yet no one moved.
He added, “They are spread everywhere, move freely, and live in people’s homes.” He continued, “Most of these people, by the way, and we know that they are foreigners, have Sudanese identity papers, which complicates matters.” Mohamed Al-Amin Haj Khader, who works in the Judicial Department in Khartoum, does not agree with Anas Sharif, and believes that the decision is good, even if it is late, and that the authorities are aware of the size of the problem, otherwise they would not have addressed the matter and issued this decision, which, if it did not contribute to their departure, would at least put them under pressure because allowing them to tamper and expand in this way will destroy us.
They are everywhere and they trade in everything from the citizen’s livelihood. To oil and means of transportation and occupied homes in all of Khartoum and turned them into areas for selling alcohol and drugs and they and everyone knows who is now tampering with the security of citizens,” he continued, “We hope that the decision will not be a political card used by the authorities in confronting the alliance of neighboring countries and that it will be based on the law and our right to defend our country and preserve its security.”
