Interviewed by Salah Omar Al-Sheikh
The well-known Egyptian parliamentarian and media figure Mustafa Bakri said that the fate of anyone who wants to humiliate the Sudanese people will be (the dustbin of history).
The Egyptian parliamentarian said, in an interview with ( Sudanese Echoes) that there were plans to divide Sudan into four countries and this is a danger to Egyptian and Arab security, stressing that Egypt views Sudan as its strategic depth. He pointed out that Egypt pursued to stop the war in Sudan with neutrality and awareness of the requirements of the national security.
Crazy War
During the interview, Bakri stressed the need to halt what he called the (crazy) war in Sudan, and held the Sudanese political forces responsible for blazing the war by fueling the discord among the armed forces when they discussed the situation of the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). He continued “Now all the political forces regret what is happening in Sudan as RSF militia has switched the war to a war of looting and robbery operations for which the Sudanese people are now paying the price, by becoming displaced at home and assylum seeking abroad.
The Owner of Legitimacy
The Egyptian parliamentarian asserted that the Sudanese Armed Forces are the owner of legitimacy in Sudan.
He pointed out that the Egyptian street is concerned with the issue of the people of Sudan and is following all developments, and “We are now facing a dangerous stage in Arab history, and the entire Arab region may enter into crises”, and he continued: “We fear that a new regional war occur,” stressing that the coming days will witness changes in the Arab region and will have an impact on the situation in Sudan because it is part of the Arab nation and will make the Sudanese issue a secondary.
He added: “We are approaching a dangerous stage, which may lead to changes in the region and international parties may intervene in the Arab region.”
A message to the Sudanese parties
In the same context, Bakri warned of the breaking up of Sudan, which, if it happens, will extend to many countries in the region, particularly neighboring countries that will be exposed to danger.
Bakri sent a message to the Sudanese political forces about the necessity of reaching an agreement and supporting the efforts being made to stop the war, addressing them: “The people are crying out in pain for a homeland in which the people dream of returning their wealth that is being plundered, and they are waiting, so differences must be abandoned in order to stop these crimes that are being practiced.”
Sudanese Community in Egypt
In the same vein, the Egyptian parliamentarian called for not harassing the Sudanese in Egypt, saying that Egypt has historical relations with Sudan, not because we were one country, but also of the tribal ties and relations between Egypt and the people of Sudan, and there are agreements between us, including the four freedoms.
Bakri referred to the speech of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, in which he called for treating the Sudanese community in Egypt as guests. Mustafa underlined that the Sudanese expatriates have a contribution to the Egyptian economy because they came with their money.
