\nAt the conclusion of the first part of this article, I stated: \u201cBased on those lies they called \u2018principles,\u2019 the quadrilateral presented its toxic prescription to resolve the conflict.\u201d But what exactly is this prescription, wrapped in a statement that carries all the hallmarks of a final, non-negotiable order?<\/p>\n

By its logic, the quadrilateral has positioned itself as the ultimate authority over all of Sudan; in other words, it acts as a new mandate reminiscent of the days of the Ottoman Sublime Porte and the High Commissioner\u2014terminology from the colonial era that the quadrilateral now seeks to revive.<\/p>\n

Mandates were colonial systems imposed by the League of Nations after World War I, placing countries like Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon under British or French authority on the pretext that they were \u201cunfit to manage their own affairs.\u201d In practice, it was a cover for direct occupation, allowing a foreign power full control.<\/p>\n

The Sublime Porte referred to the Ottoman Sultan\u2019s headquarters in Istanbul and symbolized decrees from the highest Ottoman authority imposed on provinces without discussion.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the quadrilateral\u2019s statement today replicates that colonial model: decisions issued from Washington and Abu Dhabi are implemented in Khartoum as if they were orders from a \u201cnew Sultan\u201d or a \u201cHigh Commissioner\u201d acting in Sudan as they please.<\/p>\n

2
\nA note before we begin: every time the statement uses the word \u201ccalled on,\u201d read it as \u201cordered.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, what exactly did our new quadrilateral masters order?<\/p>\n

First, the statement urges\u2014or rather commands:<\/p>\n

\u201cMinisters to initiate an initial humanitarian truce for three months to expedite the entry of aid across Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then it decrees:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis truce should directly lead to a permanent ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n

And also:<\/p>\n

\u201cA comprehensive and transparent transitional process to be completed within nine months.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of this must occur:<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough a comprehensive and transparent process.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that process:<\/p>\n

\u201cIs not to be controlled by any of the warring parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of these orders are said to be:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo meet the aspirations of the Sudanese people for an independent civilian-led government with broad legitimacy and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, of course, signed by the Sultan of the Sublime Porte in Washington and his exclusive agent in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\nSeveral questions arise as we attempt to implement these orders under \u201ctheir caps, scarves, and coats\u201d\u2014and we hope the quadrilateral or even their subordinates can answer.<\/p>\n

First: where is the aid that we are supposed to deliver during this three-month truce? Yesterday, OCHA confirmed a massive shortfall in humanitarian funding in Sudan\u201478% of UN operations remain unfunded. The requirement is $4.2 billion for internally displaced people this year, of which only 22.9% is available to meet urgent needs. We have no money to execute your orders. Should we sign a blank check because you think you are gods of the universe?<\/p>\n

Second: the aid accompanying the truce you speak of is for besieged cities. Our government has repeatedly requested it, even urging the UN Security Council to adopt resolutions for its delivery\u2014such as the six-month-old resolution on Al-Fashir. Yet militias and their allies ignored the resolution, looting aid meant for civilians. So, if they can defy the Security Council, who will enforce your truce now? Previous truces were violated and exploited by the militias to regroup and rearm.<\/p>\n

A new truce proposed now, with no monitoring mechanisms or enforcement, would allow militias to escape the army\u2019s tightening grip in areas like Darfur\u2014a transparent scheme, unlikely to succeed. Even if the government yields to your orders, how will this truce\u2014without funded aid\u2014directly lead to a permanent ceasefire? By \u201corders\u201d again? If anything, the Sultan should simply issue a direct ceasefire decree. Why wait three months?<\/p>\n

4
\nAfter declaring a truce leading to a permanent ceasefire, the quadrilateral then orders:<\/p>\n

\u201cA comprehensive and transparent transitional process to be completed within nine months.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is this process? Who are its participants? What does \u201ccomprehensive\u201d mean? Why impose a nine-month deadline? Why not allow dialogue to unfold naturally over a year or two? Are we sheep in their farms or camels in their pens? This directive is absurd.<\/p>\n

5
\nWorse, the process is \u201cnot controlled by any warring party.\u201d In other words, a political transition in Sudan excludes the Sudanese army\u2014the current governing authority. So who controls it? The quadrilateral? Their proxies? The UN? Clearly, their statement avoids these questions, as answering them would undermine their supposed emphasis on sovereignty.<\/p>\n

A process imposed by external powers, outside government control, essentially strips legitimacy from the official state, leaving hired agents to dictate the \u201ccomprehensive and transparent transitional process\u201d according to their foreign masters\u2019 agenda. This reveals Abu Dhabi\u2019s reliance on the Al-Daglo militia, notorious for crimes reaching genocide, now pursued by the U.S. Congress for terrorism.<\/p>\n

Instead of learning from the failure of past attempts to hijack Sudan with force, they now try to sell illusions through exiled figures. Do they remember that our ancestors resisted empires with bare chests and makeshift weapons?<\/p>\n

\nSudanese citizens, these orders are supposedly for your benefit! According to the quadrilateral:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo meet the aspirations of the Sudanese people for an independent civilian-led government with broad legitimacy and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what is this \u201cbroadly legitimate civilian leadership\u201d? Who grants this legitimacy? The quadrilateral or the Sudanese people? They strip legitimacy from the current government and army to grant it to an unknown civilian leadership\u2014unelected, with unclear sources of authority. This is a new form of mandate, yet Sudanese, who once fought great empires, will not hand over their country on a silver platter to new colonizers, no matter the disguise.<\/p>\n

7
\nAccording to their plan, the quadrilateral only lacks raising the flags of the new mandate states at the Republican Palace, appointing the general governor, naming Hamdok as prime minister, Dagalo as army commander, \u201cAl-Bagati\u201d as spiritual guide, declaring a new \u201cIbrahimi\u201d religion, and imposing the \u201cHilu Constitution.\u201d They might even plant flags over our martyrs\u2019 graves in Khartoum and Darfur.<\/p>\n

But let them remember: Gordon\u2019s head once tumbled from the palace steps. That memory alone might restore some sanity and deter some of their agents.<\/p>\n

God is supreme over all affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
