I listened to a clip of the esteemed Dr. Al-Dardiri Mohamed Ahmed as he spoke with sorrow\u2014sorrow that we all share\u2014about the fall of the city of Al-Nuhud into the hands of the rebel militia of the Dagalo family.<\/p>\n

Dr. Al-Dardiri recounted some of the rich history of the Hamar region and the city of Al-Nuhud. In his talk, he referred to widely known information about the rebels targeting the city several days prior to the attack. He noted that they entered the city through its strongest point: the military garrison. He called for clarifications as to how they managed to breach the most fortified area and why warnings about the buildup and betrayal were ignored.<\/p>\n

Dr. Al-Dardiri also called for the city to be recaptured within days or weeks.
\nTo my mind, this constitutes a form of public mobilization and creates significant pressure on the armed forces coming from an important public figure. Responding to such pressure would inevitably require the army to disclose its plans and movements.<\/p>\n

The Armed Forces, as has been stated, succeeded in reclaiming all areas that had been occupied by the rebels\u2014from the refinery in the north to Jabal Moya and Sennar in the south. This was not achieved in a matter of days, but over months, after plans and preparations had been completed.<\/p>\n

In the final days of the May Regime, the General Command (note: the General Command) summoned a journalist and editor from a daily newspaper to question him about publishing news regarding a sergeant\u2014not even a senior officer\u2014celebrating the circumcision of his sons, not a battle. He was warned not to publish any news about the army or its personnel without the Armed Forces\u2019 approval.<\/p>\n

Today, however, news of the army\u2019s movements, field operations, even plans and logistics, can be found all over the media.<\/p>\n

Consider these headlines:<\/p>\n

\u201cGeneral Command designates Al-Dabba as an advanced logistical hub.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrorist militia\u2019s presence in Al-Khuwei and Al-Nuhud will not last; the wave will continue westward toward Burosh, Umm Kedada, and Al-Kuma, reaching El Fasher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMore importantly, Sudanese military intelligence has eyes inside the RSF itself\u2014senior-ranking officers from tribes allied with the RSF are now supplying the army with detailed information, from photos to plans and movements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe army knows where Abdel Rahim Dagalo sleeps, whom he meets, and what decisions and plans are made in those meetings. For every two RSF militia members, at least one is cooperating with the army.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this is just the beginning. The next strike will be even more painful, and more precise.\u201d<\/p>\n

All these statements pass without scrutiny or restraint\u2014even though they should be guided to reduce the risks they pose. Media platforms aligned with the army should support and stand by it, especially since the rebels cleverly exploit these leaks and the current state of fluidity to their advantage.<\/p>\n

When the attack on Al-Nuhud began, its rebel commander \u201cAl-Safana\u201d posted a video showing his damaged combat vehicle and an apparent hand injury. He vaguely referred to it and expressed frustration over delayed reinforcements for his troops. The media swallowed the ruse, and comments soon followed celebrating his retreat and the militia\u2019s defeat\u2014only for us to be shocked when they took control of the city.<\/p>\n

This reminded me of what the late Bishi used to do\u2014posting clips of himself heading to one location while secretly going elsewhere. He did this before entering Jabal Moya, Sennar, and other areas.<\/p>\n

Trusting the Armed Forces means supporting them with discretion and patience.
\nAl-Nuhud and Al-Khuwei will return tomorrow, God willing, despite the weight we\u2019ve placed on the shoulders of our brave and capable soldiers and their wise, courageous leadership.<\/p>\n
