\nWas the Salvation Revolution\u2014the June 30, 1989 coup\u2014an \u201chistoric sin\u201d that warrants an apology?
\nThe memorandum issued by the Sudanese Armed Forces\u2019 Command in February 1989 effectively ended Sudan\u2019s Third Democratic Experiment (1986\u20131989). In the aftermath, three ideologically conflicting forces raced to seize power: the leftist faction within the army; the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) led by John Garang, which sought to uproot Sudan\u2019s Arab-Islamic identity and erase its Arab component\u2014much like the Christian coalition led by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile expelled Muslims and Arabs from Andalusia; and finally, the Islamic Movement\u2019s military wing.
\nThus emerged the National Salvation Revolution of June 30, 1989\u2014a project to rescue Sudan from cultural, political, and national disintegration.<\/p>\n

\nFrom 1989 to 2019, the Salvation regime represented a comprehensive civilizational resurgence, beginning with intellectual reconstruction through a focus on human development as the cornerstone of progress.
\nIt launched a revolution in general and higher education, liberating Sudanese minds from sectarian loyalties that sanctified hereditary leaders, redirecting allegiance toward ideas and institutional politics instead.
\nThe regime also fostered a culture of community governance through the federal system, empowering citizens at neighborhood, local, and state levels, all the way to the national parliament.
\nGraduates of this educational renaissance went on to lead key national projects: the telecommunications revolution, extensive road networks, bridges, airports, the oil and petroleum industries, and the establishment of the Giad Industrial City and a robust defense industry capable of producing everything from bullets to tanks and aircraft.
\nSudanese talent also contributed to the Gulf\u2019s economic renaissance and left an indelible mark on Europe and the United States, enriching modern global civilization.<\/p>\n

\nThroughout its long history, Sudanese civilization has undergone successive transformative waves\u2014each leaving a structural imprint on the nation\u2019s identity, culture, and progress: from the ancient Kushite and Meroitic kingdoms, to the Christian states led by Alwa, to the Islamic kingdoms of Sennar and Darfur, and finally, the modern revival during the Turco-Egyptian and Anglo-Egyptian periods.
\nWithin this continuum, the experience of the National Islamic Movement in power constituted the most recent great civilizational wave in Sudan\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\nThe apology owed by the Islamic Movement to the Sudanese people lies in acknowledging that the Salvation regime\u2019s early achievements in modernization and development were possible only through unity between the movement and the Sudanese public.
\nHowever, the movement later fragmented into rival parties and groups, withdrew from society, and reduced governance to a pursuit of personal gain. In doing so, it alienated itself from the people and sought legitimacy from foreign powers hostile to Sudan\u2019s statehood and civilizational identity.<\/p>\n

\nThe apology owed by the National Congress Party is an admission that the so-called \u201crevolutionary uprising\u201d of December 2018\u2014culminating in the April 15, 2023 war\u2014was in fact one of the most sophisticated acts of infiltration and deception, targeting both the ruling party and Sudanese state institutions through the instruments of the Zionist project and its regional and international proxies.
\nToday, the unity between the grassroots of the Islamic Movement, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and the wider public in the \u201cBattle of Dignity\u201d marks a confident new beginning. It signals the emergence of a new generation of Islamic leaders capable of rebuilding trust between the movement and society\u2014until Islam becomes organically embedded in the nation\u2019s social fabric, like a Sufi dissolved in worship.
\nOnly then can Sudan aspire to genuine leadership under a sustainable democratic order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
