More critically, they underestimated the task, attempting to achieve it through a quick coup, while underestimating the army as an institution capable of facing such a scenario.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">**Third:** The role of the Freedom and Change Forces (FFC), which burdened the transitional period with more responsibilities than it could bear. They monopolized the civilian component, although they were unfit to face the challenges of the transition and too narrow-minded to represent the broader Sudanese population.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">**Fourth:** The army\u2019s negligence in addressing national security risks, its failure to take preemptive steps before the disaster struck, and its slow response afterward. Moreover, the army leadership overindulged in political tactics without a governing strategic vision.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">After all the victims and losses resulting from this catastrophic war, international efforts have been focused solely on restoring the situation to how it was before the October 25 decisions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The political reading of these international powers is that the events of October 25 were a result of the union between the two armed forces (the army and RSF) under a single project.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Volker\u2019s plan with the FFC at the time was to quickly drive a wedge between the military components by presenting the proposal of the Framework Agreement, which I described then as a roadmap leading to war&#8230;!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This was followed by the suspicious visit of UN envoy Volker to Hemeti in Al-Geneina, accompanied by Al-Taher Hajar and Hadi Idris&#8230;!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">When the fighting erupted, international powers consistently repeated the same statement: &#8220;There will be no winner in this war.&#8221; In other words, whoever wins militarily will be stripped of the political privileges resulting from their victory, through international criminal prosecution.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">At that point, the apple of sustained transitional authority will fall into the hands of a small, opportunistic, foreign-aligned political clique with no popular support. This group would serve as the local proxy for implementing the Western vision in Sudan&#8230;!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">However&#8230;!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Ceasing hostilities while keeping the RSF in the political equation and within the military system by reproducing the Framework Agreement under a new name \u2014 perhaps replacing the FFC with &#8220;Progress&#8221; \u2014 which is clearly the option favored by Hamdok, his associates, the militia, and their international and regional sponsors, does not practically achieve sustainable peace in Sudan.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Instead, it merely postpones the war and the coup options from the present to an open-ended future. This explosive formula will not instill confidence in citizens to the extent that they will prefer to return to their homes. It will also naturally deter any businessman or foreign investor from spending a single dollar on a fictitious peace project that could explode at any moment, just as it did on April 15&#8230;!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Einstein once said: &#8220;Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The meaning: We cannot solve intractable problems if we continue to think with the same mentality that created them&#8230;!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Diyaa Eldin Bilal The four main elements that contributed to the outbreak of conflict and war in our country are: **First:** The interference of foreign powers in dealing with Sudanese affairs without sufficient understanding of its complexities and the chemistry of the general mood. **Second:** The power ambitions of the Al-Daglo family and the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27095,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32139"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32140,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32139\/revisions\/32140"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sudanevents.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
