Did We Teach You This?!

By: Mahjoub Fadl Badri

It seems that that tiny state is reading from the pages of an old book. Flinging accusations at the opponent randomly is no longer a viable way to evade the reality of hard evidence presented before the International Court of Justice. Natural law considers it malicious prosecution when the accused files a complaint against the plaintiff in order to avoid confronting the evidence contained in the original complaint.

Assembling a list of well-known names, both domestically and internationally, to claim that Army Commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy Yasser al-Atta are coordinating with Salah Gosh to smuggle weapons and ammunition from the UAE to Sudan, is futile. Including politically loaded phrases in the accusation—like claiming those behind the weapons deal profit from prolonging the war—is a laughable fabrication that won’t save the UAE from the flood of damning documents and reports from neutral entities proving its involvement in arming the Al-Dagalo militia, especially as it stands before the ICJ in Sudan’s lawsuit against it for continuing to supply the militia with all kinds of arms and ammunition.

Even the shepherd in the desert and the bird in the sky know this: our officials have no need to form a cell to smuggle weapons to our country and army. We are a state, not a terrorist militia. We can procure arms openly and legally. We don’t need to tell the UAE that our country has been building ammunition and weapons factories since 1961—when the UAE was still under guardianship and hadn’t even heard the word “state.”

The UAE knows that every bullet and barrel was made in Sudan and once showcased in that same state that knows nothing but conspiracy, blatant malice, and exposed lies.

If their minister’s name is Shammassi or Shamsi, it doesn’t matter—the lie might deceive some, but not us. The UAE turns a blind eye to massive shipments and repeated flights, even launching them from its own airports fully loaded with tools of death and destruction, knowing full well that their final destination is Um Jaras Airport (even if they pretend it’s taking a detour).

Even if we hypothetically accepted the tale about intercepting a weapons smuggling cell—what does that have to do with us or our people? Arrest whomever you like, try them, confiscate whatever you seize. Tear up your story and drink its water. Focus instead on the evidence awaiting you at the court.

Not even Serbia joining you as an ally will help—their stench is the same.

It’s like the man who tried to spite his rival by saying, “My mother saw your mother in a bar!”
The other replied, “I know my mother goes to the bar—what brought your mother there?”

We are a state in an existential war—a war to be or not to be. Whether we bring weapons through smuggling or through official channels, we have the right. You, UAE, what business is it of yours?

And if you claim there is arms smuggling through your territory—then where did all these bullets come from? You don’t even manufacture pencil lead. Our army, which trained and taught you how to speak and wear a shirt, has every right to ask you, just as a senior soldier questions a fresh recruit:
“Did we teach you this?!”

Glory to our brave army.

Honor and strength to our fighting people.

Shame and disgrace to our enemies and their collaborators.
