DARFUR SECESSION

Scattered Papers

Mohamed Al-Fatih

*There was a lot of talk in the days of political and security fragility about Darfur’s secession in the space of political and intellectual emptiness and the state of desertification and poverty that afflicts the political arena.

*We thought that after the deacons of politics had departed to the afterlife, such as the great teachers Al-Sadig Al-Mahdi, Al-Turabi and Nugud, and the elderly Mohamed Osman Al-Mirghani. Those great leaders did not leave behind generations that enjoy a mature political horizon.

*They left behind those who lost values, ideals and followed desires. The result was the collapse of the country.
*An Egyptian journalist spoke, appealing to the politicians in Sudan and questioning them, “Is there not a sensible man among you?”

*Those politicians who talk about Darfur’s secession are delusional. Darfur represents the heart of Sudan, so if you separate the heart, the body will die. It is the backbone of Sudan.

*Even the political adolescents who compare the south and the north and how the south seceded, we tell them how different the south is from Darfur. Darfur is the north, the center, the west and the east of Sudan. No force on earth can separate it. It is geography, history, blood, culture and civilization.

*Greetings to all the people of Darfur, with all their tribes, components and parties, as they stand as an impregnable barrier in the face of the external conspiracy and as they sacrifice their most precious possessions for national unity and to crush the ambitions of the rebellion.

But, if the talk is for the purpose of political consumption, hallucination and outbidding, that is something else.
