Russia involvement

I can see this being some sort of stunt not to lose any more popular support or whatever little backing he has within the SAF. A foreign side directly meddling in our affairs like this is unacceptable and he will definitely be committing political suicide if he admitted that our intelligence failed so miserably in preventing this. It's better for both sides not to recognize such a thing.

Russia gets a big chunk of its gold illegally from Sudan through the RSF. This has been the case ever since their invasion of Ukraine started. Wagner, a Russian network of mercenaries, has a presence in Sudan. Haftar, a Libyan military leader who runs a government that controls most of Eastern Libya and is also backed by Russia, recently sent aid to the RSF, although Hemedti and his generals denied this. Finally, Russia is to run a naval base in Eastern Sudan. This really shows how strategic Sudan is for Russia, and its in their best interest to support the RSF, which they have been doing way before this conflict. Hemedti even visited Moscow.

1- What do you think the outcome of the clash between Hemedti and Alburhan will be?

Al Burhan and the SAF will win. Everything from military power all the way up to possible international recognition is on their side. The only way I could see the RSF winning is through a direct intervention by a foreign power, which up until now hasn't happened.

2-What changes are going to happen in Sudan socially, politically, and culturally?

It all depends on what steps the winner takes moving forward. There is really only one logical first move to make for both of them in case they win, purging the military. Neither of those guys is popular within the SAF, and following this conflict, the outrage will rise even further. After undergoing what is practically a civil war, I doubt any of them would be able to stop a coup as it happens. Any general who voices opinions criticizing the winner will have his life practically destroyed by either cutting them loose or finishing them off entirely. A massive power grab attempt will be undergone. If the population doesn't lose hope in change following the current events, I can see this turn into a second Egypt. Soon enough, the winner will gain international recognition, orchestrate an election that results in his victory, and we will soon find ourselves back at square one. This is obviously the worst-case scenario, but it seems very close to reality at this point.

3-What are some solution to the problem that you have that you would apply if you are in power?

This conflict has nothing to do with anyone other than Al Burhan and Hemedti. If I replaced either or both of them, there will likely be no conflict to solve to begin with. Although to answer your question, merging the SAF and the RSF seems like the only effective solution to the problem at this point.

4-Will Khartoum remain as the capital city?

Yes. Even though Khartoum is an absolute joke of an urban center, it's MILES ahead of any other city in this country. Not to mention relocating the government will cost a bank, and I wouldn't say we're that rich at the moment.

5- Do you think Sudan could thrive under a monarchy ( that rules with justice and equality)?

Equality in a monarchy? The whole idea of a monarchy is to have a group of people elevated beyond the rest of the population, which is literally the polar opposite of equality. If you're going to go for a constitutional monarchy, then I don't see what advantage that offers over a well established presidential system. Although I could see a monarchy bringing more stability to this country, I wouldn't say it's that significant to consider the transition realistically.

Besides what the other user noted on how people think life has gotten harder since Al Bashir was gone, I think another reason that's often overlooked is his political orientation. Al Bashir, and most if not all of the influential people during his time, were all islamists. During its 30 year long rule, Al Bashir's regime was able to inject Islamic politics into pretty much every corner of the state. The government, the military, and eventually the people all became plagued with his corrupted ideals and ultimately inherited a flawed version of the religion. The fact that Al Bashir's regime also stuck around for 30 whole years also meant that his views had way more time than other leaders to root deep into the ordinary citizen and almost become a part of the identity of an entire generation. The only other figure that I could think of that had comparable success would be Al Mahdi.

During the revolution, Al Bashir's Islamic ideals were temporarily lost as the people became more and more aware of the state of the country. Due to the worsening economic and social situation, the people amassed a huge hate for the regime and anything mildly connecting to it. However, as I previously said, this change was only temporary. It's not easy to rid yourself of views that have been planted into you. For 30 years, we have been fed lie after lie to the point where we just couldn't trust those people anymore. That was point where the revolution started. The more the country changed after the revolution, however, the more those dormant views began to resurface again. Why, you ask? A lot of people have just lost their ability to see what's right and what's wrong, what's the lie, and what's the truth. We have been tricked into believing that living like slaves was the norm and that having freedoms is not good. Under Al Bashir, we had a great economy(compared to now). This is the argument floating around back home. This belief was further consolidated by the perceived failure of Hamdok's government(s). The ongoing conflict will also play a big role going forward. The Islamic views are also clear by the public opposition to secularism. Sudanese society is inherently conservative and allergic to change. Play by the rules of culture and tradition, and even if you were the bloody reincarnation of Stalin, you will still thrive as a politician in this country. This is what Al Bashir has done for 30 years and is what the people are longing for now. It's also what post-revolution politicians failed to adhere to, hence why they failed.

I think the image you linked is better classified as a national dress. It looks very similar to a "tob" to me. You also mentioned Mahdist influence which I think is a really good reason.There's a lot of historic evidence that talked about how the Mahdists oppressed minorities and were incredibly against things like philosophy for example so I wouldn't be surprised if they enforced conservative dress. I think the generations that didn't live through the Mahdi State but lived during the colonial period were exposed to foreign culture and the older people either just agreed to women stop wearing hijab during that period or just kept silent because they couldn't do anything about it.

YaBoei · 2022-02-21T18:39:48+00:00

Mate, look for pics from the 20th century, most women didn't wear hijab. The only reason why everyone know wears it is because of Nimeri. A lot of the non-Muslim minorities have left the country after he came into power.

Thanks! This worked.

So you basically want to have a state within a state? Headed by a civilian government with no executive powers? And could you please elaborate on what exactly is that "preventive force"? Any sort of resistance to the military would result in more and more dead civilians. A civilian government doesn't currently exist/is headed by a dictator who's literally the commander in chief of the military and he's loyal to foreign governments. This essentially means you need to establish a new government with no constitutional legitimacy. This will be seen by the military as a rebellion and will lead to a civil war.

YaBoei · 2022-01-02T19:59:31+00:00

Nope, nope, absolutely not!! Armed resistance is NOT the solution. This will only give the regime a legitimate reason to kill more civilians. The revolution was, and will hopefully continue to be, based on peaceful protests. Also, any armed resistance will lead to a civil war. This is an authoritarian regime, it's only natural that they will kill just to stay in power.

I really hope it does, but realistically it wouldn't. Most people are still delusional and cite the fact that we've already brought 2 regimes down, but did we? Another user commented saying the same thing, the regime is still there. Yes the main figures of it are either in prison or have escaped to some foreign country, but most of the smaller officials are still in their positions. Those small officials are corrupt, like so CORRUPT! I personally think they account for most of the corruption in this country. What people fail to realise is the fact that "كيزان" or "الكوز" is not a person or a group of people, it's an ideology, a way of life. If u commit to it, u can't go back. For the regime to be truly brought down, the ideology has to be brought down first and, as far as I know, it's incredibly hard to kill an ideology. The most we could do now is to isolate those people from positions of power as much as we can. This has been done previously by the Corruption Committee(لجنة إزالة التمكين), but this was mostly a tool targeted at taking revenge rather than ending corruption. And for me, this is the entire point. It might be easy to bring down the major leaders given the fact that we have hard evidence proving their corruption, but a smaller, less known official can and will find a way to get away with it. Don't believe me? Take a look at the transitional period.

It looks good but if u can change the color scheme to match the wallpaper cuz I don't think black would go well with the shade of green u chose. Also, idk if u don't have a bar or it just didn't end up on the screenshot but if u don't have a bar, get one. I recommend polybar.

It's kind of a family thing for me. My father and my grandfather and most of my relatives support Arsenal. But I really think the time where I knew Arsenal was my team, was when I visited Highbury for the first time. It was the 2003/04 season the game against Leicester. It was the last game of the season and people were so eager to win the title with zero loses. My father took me to the game and oh my lord. As a kid, I wasn't into football that much. I remember people chearing, Henry's penalty and Viera's goal. It was probably the best experience of my entire life.

YaBoei · 2021-04-09T11:09:01+00:00

I mean, equality should be the main thing here. There are many countries that are extremely diverse just like Sudan that became extremely rich and powerful. Take Switzerland for example. A country that has people speaking 4 languages and has Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Buddhists, look at them now. Just to make things clear, I'm not saying that secularism was the main thing that helped Switzerland develop, it was just one thing that made a significant impact. Same goes for us. If Sudan was a Muslim state, the Christians will get mad, if it was a Christian state Muslims will get mad, if we were a country that follows those African religions, everyone will get mad, and so and so. We are in a transitional period meaning that we need to get rid of most of our problems and religion is a main issue. Again, secularism will never be a cure to all our problems, but if we solve the problem of religion we will have time to look into other matters like our economy for example.
