Yassir Al-Atta’s Nos put the Horse Before the Cart?
Report – Amir Abdel Majid
In conjunction with the announcement of the final statement of the Addis Ababa sessions, the member of the Sovereignty Council TSC ,Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces SAF , Lt. Gen. Yassir Al-Atta, came out of Omdurman to renew the announcement of the SAF ‘s attitude rejecting dialogue with Janjaweed. Al-Atta said in a clear tone that the SAF will not negotiate and there will be no truce if the fighting continues for 100 years. He added, “Negotiation will be just a postponement of the battle and will lead us into security and political problems,” and continued, “We will not negotiate except on the surrender of the militia.”
Top Priority :
Political powers had met in Addis Ababa and issued a final statement in which they called for the formation of an interim caretaker government whose tasks, competencies, formation and timing would be consulted between all concerned parties.
They affirmed that the top priority is to immediately stop the war within the framework of emphasizing the sovereignty of the Sudanese State and the unity of its structures and people, with the importance of committing to implementing Jeddah Agreement.
Al-Atta’s statement may not be entirely consistent with what was stated in the statement of the political powers that participated in Addis Ababa meetings, but it does not contradict it.
A proven Matter :
Al-Atta who is leading the war battles now believes that the truces harm the military operations, and this is a proven matter, as the militia exploited the truces granted to it by the negotiations in Jeddah forum and expanded to areas it had not reached before and did not abide by the ceasefire, as the political researcher and documenter of political events, Al-Sir Omar Al-Khair, known as (Siro), says.
He adds, “We were in Old Omdurman when the first truce was announced in Jeddah forum.
The militia did not enter our areas at the time. It was only skirmishing, but with the entry of the truce, it expanded its spread and entered our areas and looted, killed and dragged. All of this was done under the cover of the truce. Therefore, we do not trust any truce that may be concluded because this simply means that the militia will expand, and the truce gives it an opportunity to arrange its affairs.”
He added, “There is no doubt that it is exhausted now, particularly in Khartoum, where the militia is waging military operations morning and evening.
According to the information available to us, the militia has a large number of wounded and injured people who are now in the hospitals it controls and they do not find “Treatment because they destroyed these hospitals and because the support lines are faltering and there are no medicines.
They are trying to get out with the wounded whose wounds have become infected, but they fear the warplanes that are lurking for them.”
Regarding the security and political complications that Al-Atta referred to, he said, “The militia wants to remain in the areas where they are currently present in any supposed peace process.
This simply means that we recognize the existence of another authority in the state other than the authority of the SAF.
How do we allow the militia to administer areas within the capital, for example, leaving an area under the control of the army to enter an area under the control of the militia?
This is what they are talking about, and I do not think that any sane person will accept it. We will not normalize the presence of the militia in people’s lives. All this killing, all this theft, and all this looting.
They believe that the Sudanese people, let alone the SAF , will accept their presence and that they will establish a state within a state.
This will not happen even if this people fights them for a hundred years. They and their political wing are proposing negotiations in which the militia soldiers will remain in residential neighborhoods and people’s homes with their weapons and cars, and they will take out our loot and property and deport it to Darfur.
Do you believe this?” he added. “The political complications are no less than the security complications. They want to be in power. These killers are proposing in the negotiations and in any future negotiations a presence in power and to rule us, which is something I do not think any sane person in Sudan would accept now.” Sensitive phase.
In the same context, political analyst, researcher and professor of political science Ahmed Omar Khojali said, “What is important in the outcomes of the Addis Ababa discussions is the formation of a government that will take us through this sensitive phase because it is clear now that the governors alone cannot manage the state in light of the inactivity of the ministries and their failure to perform their duties.
If you ask any citizen now about the name of a minister except for Jibril, who also does not find much acceptance, no one will know the names of those who are currently sitting in the ministerial chairs because they have no influence.
We need a government of competent technocrats so that we do not enter into a debate and quotas that have brought us to where we are.” He continued, “The negotiations, in my opinion, will lead us to an absurd debate because the militia and its ally, the advance, are only good at lying.
We will start debate and fallacies and we will not reach anything in the end. Peace will not be achieved through negotiations with these people. It is better for the Sudanese army SAF and people to fight them and defeat them. This is the only option for dealing with these criminal killers.”
He continued, “If we open the door to political negotiations tomorrow, it is certain that the Sudanese people will demand a return to fighting because these people, after everything they have done, “And those who looted it want to return to power,” he said, “Yasser Al-Atta put the cart before the horse. This is the right way to solve it.
We must fight these murderers.” He called for holding a comprehensive conference to heal the political division in Sudan, resolve the current crisis, stop the war, and prevent the country from complete collapse, stressing the need to involve political and civil forces to resolve the current crisis.
