Sudanese Army Didn't Learn from Bashir' Blunders

When former Sudanese dictator Omar Bashir ordered the killing of demonstrators, he blamed it on 'infiltrators'. As days went by and everything started to go off kilter, still Bashir maintained the same old song, infiltrators without mentioning their names or telling what he knew about his infiltrators. Indeed, the killers of demonstrators were infiltrators sent by Bashir. They were military men, police and other state operatives who maintained Bashir's regime for thirty good years. Bashir's ouster brought in what is known as   Transition Military Council.

After the toppling of Bashir, after the people's power led by the Force for Changes overcame him, his remnants who disposed him thinking they would take over and keep receiving orders from him are repeating the same mistakes and the same song of infiltrators. Like their boss Bashir, they are accusing infiltrators to have killed demonstrators in the night of 14 May after forcing their way into the military headquarters where demonstrated have stood their ground for over a month seeking to form a civilian transitional government which is completely unacceptable to the military. We all know the military doesn't want a civilian transitional government. This is because it can open the lid of their mess and connect dots so as to find the top brass in the same situation their boss Bashir is in now.

Again, for how long will Sudanese army keep on repeating the same mistakes hoping to assuage the situation? 

Like Bashir, the army is right when it is claiming the infiltrators have shot at and killed demonstrators. Like Bashir, they should expect what befell their hero and boss. Sudan belongs to Sudanese but not the army or Bashir's remnants. What befell Bashir is likely to be replicated due to the fact that the military junta is now singing the same song that Sudanese heard for 30 years of Bashir's autocratic and failed rule. The allegations that infiltrators are responsible for shooting and killing demonstrators is archaic and childish. Actually, the book of lies that maintained Bashir's rule for 30 years has become bankrupt of new lies. 

Sudanese have categorically stated what they need. Nobody else can choose anything different from what they have been sacrificing for. Sudanese clearly stated that they need a civilian government that belongs to them. Sudanese are saying clearly that they do not like any military or theocracy but a secular government that they will have power over but not to cower under.

Sudanese know that they army that protected Bashir's stinky rule cannot today purport and pretend to be their protector while those heading it have the blood of Sudanese on their hands. 

Sudanese will never allow any more bloodshed or allow their revolution to go Egyptian way. If anything, Sudanese want their revolution to be theirs but not military's. And looking at the look of thing, there is nothing that can stop the mass of Sudanese. They indeed unstoppable and whoever tries to stop them will soon blame himself. Sudanese clearly know what they want and how they want it. They want democracy, human rights and above all better life. Sudanese want an accountable and responsible government of the people, for the people and by the people that will be under the people of Sudan.

            Sudanese clinging junta need to understand that if they keep on their only tactics Sudan will become ungovernable. And if this happens, they will pay the same place their boss and colleague Bashir paid. Nobody can stop an angry and hungry nation like Sudan today. Sudan is now hungry for justice and democracy and it is angry about how it has been abused and exploited by a cabal of goons in the upper echelons of power.

            Sudanese are now aware of the role they are playing not only for their country but also their continent. The movement they have started will not only be confined in Sudan but instead, it will spread all over Africa where dictatorships  still thrive.  Knowing the role they are playing, they will never allow anybody to snatch the victory from their hands. Determined as they have proved to be, Sudanese have nothing left to lose except their chains. They have already been killed, tortured and above all, they are used to brutality that has  been ongoing for 30 years. Knowing what they are up to and what they are into, Sudanese are hellbent to stand for their future, bright future as a people and a nation.

Long live Sudan

Long live revolution

Long live democracy
