As I See It\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI hate the images of the dead, the blood, and the dismembered bodies (I hate this even for us), even for those I consider enemies and traitors deserving of death. These are my personal feelings. Yet, every time I see the heaps of corpses flooding the media, I\u2019m struck with questions: Why are these people fighting? What is their goal? What values are they defending?
\nThen come more questions: If these simple, ignorant people are being pushed by the Dagalos to build a kingdom without knowing its purpose, what about those who are pushing the Dagalos themselves? Haven\u2019t the Dagalos realized their project, coup, and conspiracies have failed? Have the sponsors not come to the obvious conclusion that their plan to control Sudan crumbled when the coup failed on April 15, 2023? Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n

\nUnfortunately, these poor wretches don\u2019t have a political, religious, or authoritative cause to fight for. They\u2019ve been thrown into this inferno under various pretexts. Some were sold a political project with two parts:
\nFirst, the illusion of a Dagalo Kingdom uniting Arabs from all over, establishing their realm in Sudan. A few of these deceived people were brought from the deserts to the \u201cheaven of refuge\u201d (savages flung into paradise), their dreams stirred by false promises. The irony is that even when they realized these promises were empty, they continue fighting for a mirage!
\nSecond, some were led to believe in a so-called \u201cState of 56,\u201d a state they know nothing about and never heard of. They have no connection to its reality or the ideologies behind it. Yet, they repeat its name without understanding its essence, purely out of ignorance. How pitiful to fight for something you don\u2019t even comprehend!
\nI won\u2019t even touch on the ridiculous promises of \u201cdemocracy\u201d or the human rights we supposedly enjoy under the Dagalo Kingdom, which we\u2019ve seen play out in this war. The model their sponsors live by is what we\u2019re supposed to admire! They\u2019ve turned values into a farce.<\/p>\n

\nOthers have been made to believe they\u2019re fighting a war against the \u201cFeloul\u201d or \u201cKizan\u201d (with a broken \u2018K\u2019), though they don\u2019t even know who the \u201cFeloul\u201d or \u201cKizan\u201d are, yet are told to fight them. If they did, they\u2019d realize these same people are among their leaders and ranks!
\nThe real question: Why are they fighting the Feloul? What have the Feloul done to them? What\u2019s the grudge? Did they invade their lands? Steal their wealth? Violate their women? Seize power that belonged to them? What is the issue between them and the Feloul? Are they religiously different? It\u2019s hard to tell, considering they follow the same \u201creligion\u201d of looting and pillaging!
\nThese poor souls can\u2019t answer any of these questions. They don\u2019t realize they\u2019re being used as cheap tools for other people\u2019s agendas, fighting a war that isn\u2019t theirs. In this sense, the Dagalos are no different from these wretches\u2014they\u2019re all pawns in a conflict leading them to their own destruction.<\/p>\n

\nSurely by now, the Dagalos must realize their dreams of a kingdom have gone up in smoke. Their greatest hope is to return to their former state of plundering Sudan\u2019s resources, which made them the richest people in Africa. How ironic! Cursed be greed!
\nIn their desperation, they now rush to conferences, hoping for any deal or agreement that will end the war and preserve what remains of their wealth, perhaps granting them some local authority in Darfur. Despite temporarily controlling four states there, they know the army and joint forces are advancing, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before their kingdom is buried, along with their bodies!
\nThe war\u2019s sponsors and financiers\u2014those whom Amjad Farid calls the \u201cchorus of the vile\u201d\u2014must now understand their plan to seize power and control Sudan\u2019s resources has failed. They achieved none of their goals. So, why do they continue? Can they still seize power through war? Can they control Sudan\u2019s resources or ports after failing to win the conflict?
\nCan they defeat the Islamists or political Islam, their supposed sworn enemies? The revolution ousted the Islamists five years ago, but the war has brought them back to the people\u2019s embrace, crowned as defenders of honor and dignity.
\nThe Dagalos\u2019 and their sponsors\u2019 objectives for this war have turned to ashes. Their dreams of controlling Sudan\u2019s power and resources have evaporated. Those who ignited the conflict, and the vile chorus, have gained nothing. The only ones who profited are the looters and opportunists, while the simple people were thrown into a battle with no clear purpose, dying in vain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
