Evidence of this lies in the fact that he barely mentioned his brother \u2014 only once, and in passing \u2014 while he indulged excessively in handing out commands, rewards, and threats. He promised prosecution and death to fleeing leaders, warned tribal leaders who failed to recruit fighters of dire consequences, and even tried to tempt his combatants with money to stop them from deserting and return to battle.<\/p>\n<p>His threats \u2014 the rants of the \u201cmadman of chaos\u201d \u2014 extended beyond local leaders, dignitaries, arms and fuel dealers, and deserters, reaching even the neighboring Republic of Egypt. In a laughably absurd speech, he insulted Egyptian intelligence officials, accused the Egyptian government of bombing his forces and supporting the Sudanese army.<\/p>\n<p>The second takeaway from his rambling addresses was how weak, mentally scattered, terrified, and shaken he appeared in the face of mounting defeats, the surge in desertions, and the declining recruitment of mercenaries and fighters. This came after his forces suffered crushing losses in Blue Nile, White Nile, Sennar, Gezira, Khartoum, and large parts of North Kordofan. His militias, now fractured, fled these regions, abandoning massive quantities of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and communication gear. They lost control of the capital and all strategic sites they once bragged about occupying \u2014 the Republican Palace, the refinery, Khartoum Airport, intelligence HQ, radio and TV buildings, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Third, his comically awkward speeches revealed that the new militia leader tacitly admitted he had lost control over his splintered forces \u2014 some dead, wounded, imprisoned, or fleeing to save themselves and refusing to fight. In response, he resorted to promises and threats, pledging delayed salaries within 72 hours and threatening to kill those who did not return to combat.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth bitter truth exposed by his speeches was his implicit admission of the failure of the parallel government project and the inability of the so-called civil administration to provide even the most basic services to people in militia-held areas. He acknowledged the lack of security by instructing his police to arrest 20,000 criminals and promising to provide 100 vehicles for the police.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that this admission of lawlessness happened in Nyala \u2014 the capital of South Darfur and the militia&#8217;s stronghold \u2014 one can only imagine the chaos, killing, looting, terrorizing of civilians, and complete absence of basic life essentials in other militia-controlled regions.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Abdel Rahim Dagalo\u2019s speeches \u2014 as the true militia leader \u2014 confirmed that his dreams of seizing power and controlling the country have vanished. His once-mighty army that launched the war on April 15, emboldened by arrogance and a belief in its ability to crush the national army and hijack the state, no longer exists on the battlefield. It has disintegrated into scattered criminal gangs with no goal, purpose, or unity. His recourse to hate speech and racial incitement to reunite his fighters and push them back into combat reflects this collapse \u2014 after many were killed and others fled.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the elder Dagalo chose not to mention the devastating defeats suffered by his forces in recent months. Instead, he spoke of &#8220;repositioning&#8221; \u2014 a euphemism for retreating from battle and fleeing major Sudanese cities. In a display of shocking stupidity and limited mental and military capacity, he even admitted that they started the war on April 15, saying it was a mistake to launch it in Khartoum and that they should have attacked in the Northern and River Nile states!<\/p>\n<p>In a moment of sheer ignorance and psychological instability, the new militia leader inadvertently gave the national army a priceless gift by absolving it of starting the war. He also cleared the &#8220;remnants&#8221; (i.e., political opponents) of the blame he had hurled at them since the beginning. He proved the old saying true: &#8220;Speak, so I may see you.&#8221; He came across as anxious, broken, paranoid, and vengeful \u2014 ultimately declaring the collapse of his militia&#8217;s dream of ruling Sudan and the total failure of the Dagalo family\u2019s ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>Truly, it has been said: \u201cBy his own mouth, the liar is exposed\u2026 and the tongue of the ignorant is the key to his doom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dr. Muzammil Abu Al-Qasim Those who followed the absurd black comedy that accompanied the speeches of the ignorant, racist, criminal rebel Abdel Rahim Dagalo to community leaders in parts of South Darfur state came away with four undeniable conclusions.
