There is another artery that has nothing to do with borders: the \u201copen sky.\u201d It was exploited as a cover, allowing the militia to breach this gap and bring in weapons and supplies. A country the size of Sudan cannot fully cover its vast territory with air defenses or jamming systems; even Russia and Ukraine have been unable to achieve complete coverage. Today, however, all airstrips used by the militia are listed in a known \u201ctarget bank\u201d and are being dealt with on a daily basis, as we are witnessing in Nyala, the airstrips of Hamarat Al-Sheikh, and elsewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About ten days ago, Egyptian intelligence released a video showing how jamming and protection systems were neutralized and how weapons depots and the airport were destroyed. The report stated: \u201cThe supply nerve in Nyala has been severed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This explains the UAE\u2019s irritation and what prompted it to leak news of Pakistani weapons to Reuters. They realize that the arrival of such weapons would mean complete air superiority for the Sudanese Armed Forces. Since the militia\u2019s supply lines depend entirely on external support, cutting these arteries would push the UAE and its militia into a \u201cdesert maze,\u201d where they will be buried.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At that point, thousands of vehicles and mobile units will become worthless, while 32 army formations\u2014currently on high alert\u2014will advance under dense air cover, no longer threatened by strategic drones, which will have been neutralized. Any armed force that loses its ability to replenish its logistics is, in practice, without a future, regardless of how much equipment it possesses. The militia has yet to understand that it is not facing the Sudanese army alone, but rather a regional order that has begun to realize it is a permanent destabilization project\u2014and that tolerating it poses a danger to everyone (Egypt, Chad, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic). An army whose ribs are broken can still stand; but one whose arteries are severed dies on its feet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are other arteries\u2014economic and diplomatic\u2014that keep the militia alive, and these are entirely managed by the UAE. Gaining control over borders and over the mines from which gold is smuggled would sever a vital artery of funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Likewise, thwarting diplomatic maneuvers aimed at providing political cover for the militia\u2019s crimes has become imperative\u2014especially as the world\u2019s perception has shifted following the exposure of the militia\u2019s nature after the crimes in El-Fasher. It is no longer seen as a warring party, but as a \u201cgenocidal group.\u201d The space for diplomatic maneuvering by the militia and its sponsor has shrunk dramatically, narrowing to the size of a needle\u2019s eye.<\/strong><\/p>\n

European parliaments are now under pressure from lobbying groups in the United States and Britain to criminalize the militia, as seen in the British Parliament, where MPs called for holding Mansour bin Zayed accountable for his role in financing it. What is needed now is a more effective diplomatic role and the mobilization of diaspora communities to pressure European public opinion. For the first time, Sudanese communities abroad and Darfur activists have begun to grasp the levers of influence, to the point that the echo of the militia\u2019s crimes is reaching lawmakers who once did not know where El-Fasher was located, but now know its name as one synonymous with massacres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There must also be moves within Africa, where the image of the war remains blurred. Exposing the militia\u2019s genocidal nature to African audiences would sever the artery of sympathy and supplies that flow through certain countries on the continent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next phase must not be limited to the militia\u2019s military collapse alone; it must also include diplomatic and media collapse to complete the picture of \u201ccutting the arteries\u201d\u2014an operation that could decide the war before the militia is physically destroyed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The full picture has now emerged: this was never merely a war of cities and camps, but a \u201cwar of arteries.\u201d In Libya, the first bloodline was cut; in Chad, the second tributary dried up, and with them the mercenaries\u2019 dreams began to crumble. From the Central African Republic to South Sudan, then Ethiopia, the corridors upon which illusions of power were built have been closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through this series, we have shown that the militia is in the process of losing its six lifelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arms arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mercenary arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gold arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diplomatic arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

Airspace and border arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n

The question is no longer, \u201cWill the militia fall?\u201d but rather, \u201cWhen will time run out?\u201d Time is no longer on its side, the region cannot tolerate it, and the world is unable to continue covering for it. The militia died the moment the process of cutting its arteries began. What we are witnessing now is not a struggle for survival, but the fluttering of a dying wing before the final fall. The best possible scenario for the militia and its sponsor is to lay down arms and flee\u2014into hell, and an evil fate indeed.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
