Sudan on the Brink: A Nation Teetering on the Edge of Chaos
The Devastating Reality of War: A Threat to Humanity
The daughters and sons of the people are aware of the desire of the leaders of the war to penetrate this mass holocaust in order to satisfy their lust for power and wealth only from the people and to reform the state. The majority of the people also strongly believe that the poles of the war have reached the edge of no return.
They cling to an inevitable fate: either victory or suicide. There is no way for either to leave the current impasse except by destroying the other or destroying yourself. A massive loss dominates the horizon. Both refuse to negotiate as a deal that ends with the loss of the spoils of power and wealth.
The Failure of the State to Protect its Citizens
The destructive armed conflict based on the armed forces and their militias created to stop the movement of the masses has not only failed to protect its citizens or bring perpetrators of brutal crimes to account and punish them. Rather, it is responsible for - and even participates in - horrific acts of violence against international humanitarian law and human rights.
The destruction of civilian institutions such as hospitals, universities, and schools, as well as preventing relief from reaching those who suffer in the furnace of war, is a stark reality. The state is the creator of the militia, its incubator and breeder. Despite this overwhelming fact, no official dared to acknowledge it publicly or apologize for it, let alone criticize its part in its upbringing.
The International Community’s Role in Protecting Civilians
Many UN bodies and non-governmental organizations have been busy in informal dialogues in Geneva and New York on the margins of the UN General Assembly and far from it since that date, with the principle of protecting the population. However, the gap is still wide and deep between what is hoped for and what is practiced.
Like the majority of countries involved – as in our case - in the quagmire of state incompetence or its involvement in violent crimes against the people, our administration - the semi-government – refuses to admit to committing obvious mistakes in order to protect its people from war crimes of various forms through preventive measures.
The Root of the Crisis: Improvisational Approach to Governance
The root of the crisis lies in the long-term administration of the state using an improvisational approach outside the science and art of politics. Did the rescue system establish a prosperous period of peace, or did the people enjoy the blessing of peace with it?
While voices in favor of the war, trembling with failure, arise, holding external parties responsible for igniting and fueling the fire of war, they reject any external initiatives that would extinguish the fire. Both cases constitute, according to the logic of the failed quasi-state, external intervention that violates national sovereignty.
The Need for a New Approach to Conflict Resolution
The international theater offers open presentations regarding the success of coordinated international action in protecting people and their economic and service institutions and ensuring their democratic pathways without orders or conditions. However, our leadership (quasi-state) does not want this transition, but rather fears its introduction.
The two extremes of the fighting are betting on winning the war by prolonging it, completely ignoring the tragedy of generations whose future is scattered. Both realize their inability to achieve military superiority which would enable one of them to have a decisive victory.
Therefore, their tactics aim to avoid falling below the equilibrium step line. These tactics often involve protecting the stock of a military arsenal, deploying troops over a wide geographic area, and relying on an external backer with military capabilities or political influence, or perhaps both.
Victory in war is not gained by the number of troops sent, the casualties inflicted on the other party, or the stock of the quantity and quality of weapons, but rather by the gains made on the ground for the benefit of the people and the state.
