International Organizations… (Aid War)!!!
Cairo: Sudanese Echoes
The investigation conducted by the World Food Program (WFP) of the United Nations concerning corruption in its operations in Sudan a few days ago, opened the door and several queries about suspicions of corruption and organizations and their exploitation of the suffering of Sudanese displaced persons and refugees.
No dought that talking about the corruption of international organizations in Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq is not new.
Corruption of officials
Reuters reported that the investigation into the corruption of officials affiliated with the World Food Program in Sudan includes fraud and concealment of information from donors about WFP ability to deliver food aid to civilians amid the severe hunger crisis in the country.
Among the people being investigated is the WFP Deputy Director in Sudan, Khalid Osman. Four sources reported that a second senior official, the WFP Director’s area, Mohamed Ali, is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of more than 200,000 liters of fuel from the United Nations organization in Kosti.
Lifeline
The opening of the Adre crossing to bring in aid and the allegations of allowing the use of Zalingei, Al-Daien, Neyala and Al-Geneina airports to deliver humanitarian aid bring back to mind the infamous “Lifeline” operations that took place in April 1989,
during which international organizations were allowed to bring in humanitarian aid through “safe corridors” in areas controlled by the rebels at the time – the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army led by the late John Garang De Mabior. During those operations the largest weapons stockpiling operations of the People’s Army took place and were a black spot added to the black spots of the international organizations and their suspicious activities around the world.
Weapons shipments
On the other hand, local sources in Al-Geneina, speaking to (Sudanese Echoes), suggested that part of the trucks were loaded with new weapons shipments, particularly with the emergence of new types of weapons in the possession of the the insurgent Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in the areas surrounding El-Fashir, where the militia is preparing to resume its attack on El-Fashir, in addition to the emergence of a new type of artillery that is being used to shell the areas of population concentrations and hospitals in Omdurman and in Karari, as was done last Friday, where eyewitnesses told (Sudanese Echoes) that the insurgent RSF militia used a new cannon of a different sound in shelling that was done Friday morning in Karari and Al-Manara.
Hidden Motives
Local observers are dominated by many questions about why international organizations, America and the international community were interested in providing relief to the Sudanese in the areas controlled by the militia in Adre via Chad, and why they did not provide relief to the needy near the Adre crossing in Chad while the Sudanese refugees there are suffering severely, and why the refugees who sought refuge in the forests of Ethiopia were not provided with relief, and there are the displaced in the army areas to whom international organizations did not provide anything worth mentioning. Therefore, suspicion and doubt remain the hidden motives and insistence being on the Adre crossing.
It seems that the government’s dealings with international and UN organizations require extreme caution and controls so that Sudan is not bitten by the organizations’ hole again, and the government must not relinquish its sovereignty and control over the crossings or airports so that they do not become an entry point for international intervention or a subsequent step by rejecting a flight ban in Darfur or Sudan similar to the Libyan model after the overthrow of Gaddafi in 2011.
