(Eviction) of People’s Homes in the Style of Uncle Abbas
By: Mahjoub Fadl Badri
Uncle Abbas Abdul-Raziq, the well-known police officer known as Al-Kanzi and a police college instructor, was a strong-built man with a kind heart and a gentle nature, but with stern features. He had helped many people throughout his life. His government house was located where the current police club stands. He also owned a private house in the Third Degree Extension residential plan, which he built with the hard-earned savings of his lifetime.
Uncle Abbas generously allowed a family from South Sudan to live in his private house free of charge, and they stayed there for years. As Uncle Abbas approached retirement, he asked the South Sudanese family to vacate the house and gave them a month’s notice. When they refused to leave, they demanded transportation fees. Uncle Abbas gave them the money and returned a week later, only to be told by the head of the family, “We’ve spent the transportation money. Could you give us more?”
Uncle Abbas held back his anger and outwardly agreed. But at midnight, he returned alone, locked the house from the inside, woke up the head of the family, pointed his pistol at him, and said, “You either leave now, or I’ll empty this gun into your heads.” They complied, packed their belongings, but the door was locked! So, Uncle Abbas graciously threw them and their furniture over the wall into the street!
Thus, Uncle Abbas established a new method of forced eviction — which we could call the “Abbasian Method” — for evicting militias from civilian homes and properties. This is the condition the militia agreed to in the Jeddah Agreement but refused to implement, with the support of certain parties who argued, “Where would the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) go with the planes flying over their heads?” The answer: “Let them go to God.”
Our army has now applied Uncle Abbas’s method of evicting people from their homes — after introducing a few modifications to the original version.
Our army also introduced a fundamental adjustment to Gamal Abdel Nasser’s famous saying, “What was taken by force can only be restored by force,” modifying it to: “What was taken by treachery and betrayal can only be restored with bullets and shells.”
In Hemeti’s latest speech, he declared, “We will not leave the palace!” The only parallel to this can be found in the verse from Ibn Zuraik’s poem:
“You were given a kingdom, but you failed to govern it; and whoever cannot govern a kingdom will surely lose it.”
The palace is a symbol of victory, and indeed, God will grant victory to those who support Him. I seek refuge in God from the accursed devil:
“Those who have been driven from their homes unjustly only because they said, ‘Our Lord is Allah.’ And were it not that Allah repels some people by means of others, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques — wherein the name of Allah is much mentioned — would surely have been destroyed. Allah will surely support those who support Him. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Almighty.”
