A dull person is known as someone weak, thick-headed, slow-witted, lacking drive, with little energy and laziness. He is also described as lacking feeling, indifferent to what happens around him. He deals with situations without responsibility or emotion; his calm is often the result of indifference, not reassurance \u2014 for tranquillity is awareness and serenity. Bluntness, then, is the dullness of feeling.<\/p>\n
Two episodes about America come to mind that I will judge here, and which foreshadow what it plans early on as its strategy toward Sudan:<\/p>\n
The first episode was told to us by one of the instructor-officers at the Sudanese Command and Staff College after he returned from attending a command and staff course at the British Staff College in Camberley in 1983. The NATO and Commonwealth officers made up a strong presence there, and, as is known, American army officers were among them. One of those American officers presented his graduation paper on the \u201cBattle of Kerreri\u201d \u2014 the engagement north of Omdurman, Sudan, in 1898 that led to the defeat of the Mahdist forces under Khalifa Abdallah al-Ta\u2019ayshi and to British colonial rule over Sudan. When asked why he had studied the Battle of Kerreri, he replied that he was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense (the Pentagon) to find out whether there was a possibility of a similar revolution arising again in the Middle East \u2014 bearing in mind that the Iranian Revolution had occurred in 1979, which means the revolution they were searching for was not the Iranian one but another. I recall the Sudanese proverb, \u201cthe pen does not extinguish with a finger,\u201d which requires no further explanation. (My comment here: these people do not simply file their studies away as we do \u2014 did they convert this study into plans to dismantle a Sudanese political party, turn it into a secular party, and convert some of its leaders into spies and agents for America as we see today?)<\/p>\n
The second episode was related to me by my instructor at the Pakistani Command and Staff College in the well-known city of Quetta. He recounted that when he was a student at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College \u2014 where he was invited to present research on the African\u2013Middle Eastern character \u2014 one of the chief findings was the prominent position of the Sudanese personality at both the African and Middle Eastern levels in terms of self-respect and dignity.<\/p>\n
From these two examples, and linking them to my topic of bluntness and foolishness, I will discuss the Quartet, its perspective and management of the Sudanese issue, taking America as a model because it is the thinking head, motor and actor in global affairs \u2014 including the Sudanese war, the \u201cWar of Dignity\u201d \u2014 and how the U.S. views containing it through assumptions that I consider blunt and bordering on stupidity: the stupidity of raw force unsupported by reason, logic and facts. It represents an image of jungle concepts in which, often, a weak but clever animal defeats the lion \u2014 the \u201cking of the jungle\u201d \u2014 if it can marshal the will and strength of its herd, especially when that herd contains no agents that would weaken its cohesion and will. (My comment on this important point is that, without doubt, these people have converted that study into plans and programs aimed at breaking the strength of the Sudanese character \u2014 an indicator of that is the large number of Sudanese who work as agents for America, undermining their own state by every means.)<\/p>\n
It is one of the ugliest deceptions for America \u2014 which proclaims itself the international ideal and leader of the world \u2014 to now focus on solving Sudan\u2019s war through what is called the Quartet, while it does not even acknowledge the existence of a Sudanese state (it forbids Sudan\u2019s map from appearing in its geographic documents). This grand lie is what it tries to sell the Sudanese people. The dullness here is that a dull person may excel at certain crafts despite his stupidity \u2014 which is the case with America, which foolishly thinks it is skilled at thuggish practices while claiming to be the model in democracy, peace and human rights, even as it is notorious worldwide for war crimes, violations of international and humanitarian law, persecution and racial discrimination. Because stupidity can blind one to virtues, America even believed its current president deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his hands being stained with the blood of the people of Gaza. After all that, would the Sudanese forget America\u2019s crimes against their country \u2014 crimes that continue to target them \u2014 and believe that America is the most concerned with the safety of their state and institutions while fully conscious of everything? That is what we will examine.<\/p>\n
As America leads the Quartet with its poisonous ideas toward the Sudanese problem, seeking to impose peace through its strategic vision for Sudan, it forgets \u2014 or in profound ignorance fails to realize \u2014 that the Sudanese people have long considered it their foremost enemy since the earliest years of national independence. This hostility grew as American targeting increased: first in actions such as Chevron\u2019s closure of oil wells, then reaching a peak when it backed, indeed planned, the \u201cwar of the heavy rains\u201d in support of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\/Army (SPLM\/SPLA) with participation from some neighboring states; then by escalating targeting via the \u201cstep-by-step\u201d policy adopted by President George W. Bush, culminating in the secession of South Sudan, while maintaining sanctions and a policy of containment that persists.<\/p>\n
Through its manufactured stupidity, America ignores \u2014 or feigns ignorance of \u2014 the raging war it helped ignite through its old Quartet, a war aimed at dismantling the Sudanese state and changing its demography. America, in its folly, remained blind to the ferocity of the war now being waged on its behalf by the UAE and other states, principally Israel, through the proxy of the Rapid Support Forces militia led by the al-Daqlo family. It seems to assume, in its bluntness, that the Sudanese people do not know this is a war of attrition using advanced American weaponry intended to destroy the Sudanese state. With hatred and a lack of morals or values, America ignored all the inhuman acts and war crimes \u2014 even acts of genocide \u2014 committed by the Rapid Support Forces against the Sudanese people, and has maintained an unethical silence, disregarding United Nations reports, global organizations, human-rights groups and international appeals that classify the Rapid Support Forces as a terrorist organization. Because of a malfunction in its institutional concepts and its entrenched stupidity, America believes that the Sudanese \u2014 equally short-sighted \u2014 cannot perceive what it plans while it actually seeks, in coordination with the Sudanese authority, to achieve a counterfeit \u201csustainable peace,\u201d under the false pretense of fighting terrorism \u2014 the greatest lie it tells. America presents itself as the master of international \u201cterror\u201d \u2014 the terrorism of power \u2014 while the Sudanese know that America leads the world in creating and establishing global terrorist organizations. ISIS and many others are not far from that reality, O America; you should look for who is truly dull and foolish \u2014 and it is not Sudan.<\/p>\n
Finally, I summarize my remarks on the peace of fools that America plans for Sudan: American intelligence is clearly lacking when it attempts to deceive the Sudanese in this way. But this \u201cpeace\u201d features at its center the tiny Emirati polity \u2014 the United Arab Emirates \u2014 which is still in its infancy compared to the age and size of mature states. The UAE is a state no older than 54 years with an area of 83,600 square kilometers, while the area of Sudan\u2019s Port Sudan state (note: the Arabic text\u2019s area figure seems intended to emphasize a contrast) is 2,188,872 square kilometers. The falsity of America\u2019s claim to sponsor sustainable peace in Sudan is evident in its alignment with this youthful state, and America\u2019s falsehood and deceit about Sudan\u2019s peace are revealed in the morally compromised relationship between the two countries. Were that relationship not unethical, Sudan\u2019s peace would not have required a Quartet. America could, through a single low-level diplomat in the U.S. State Department, order the UAE to stop supplying the Rapid Support Forces with weapons, money and all logistical support \u2014 and could compel it to compensate Sudan for all material and moral damages caused by the war. But America chooses bluntness, stupidity, and amorality. Let it know that the Sudanese people are the true heirs of the Kerreri fighters \u2014 and the Sudanese army needs only what Trump said about it.<\/p>\n
In conclusion I address the military and political leadership:<\/p>\n
Do not rest for a moment. Be alert to every attempt at deception and analysis, and take the following actions:<\/p>\n
Develop the concept of mobilization and popular resistance in a manner that prepares the state for defense.<\/p>\n
Activate the reserve law in the known manner to preserve national security.<\/p>\n
Activate the national service law.<\/p>\n
And finally: America is, and will remain, Sudan\u2019s primary enemy \u2014 yesterday, today and tomorrow \u2014 and the chief threat to its national security. Beware of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
