NUP Deputy Head: The ousted NUP Head commits (the mother of all sins)… Sudanese parties fell captive to (activists)

Interview: Mohamed Al-Fatih

The Deputy Head of the National Umma Party (NUP), Lt. Gen. Siddig Mohamed Ismail, launched a violent attack on the dismissed NUP Head Fadlallah Burmah Nassir and accused him of committing (the mother of all sins) by signing a political document in affiliation with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, confirming the correctness of the decision to dismiss him from the party presidency institution, considering that the assignment was made through the institution.
Lt. Gen. Ismail revealed, in an interview with (Sudanese Echoes), that the crisis in the National Umma Party began with the death of Al-Mahdi and it was over who would succeed him, although Al-Mahdi had nominated 20 party leaders to be the NUP Head. Ismail explained that Burmah Nassir was assigned with the approval and endorsement of the presidency institution to submit to the institution and restrict his activity by not taking any decision except through the institution.
Siddig accused Burmah Nassir of deviating from the party’s path 3 months ago, indicating that they had tried to bring him back to no avail.
He stressed that Burma committed the “mother of all sins” by signing a charter with the militia that separates religion from state and the right to self-determination, which is an entry point to tearing Sudan apart.
Ismail explained that the party, since its establishment, has stressed that such issues should be decided by the constitutional conference and no one should issue a fatwa on them, considering them taboo.
In the same context, Ismail said that the political forces fell into the arms of political activists after the revolution, holding the activists responsible for the current war in Sudan by inciting sedition among the military. He said, “The activists were putting fuel on the fire.”

Ismail accused Volker of being the root of the problem and the cause of sedition with the activists in what is happening now in the country, pointing out that Volker’s history in Syria and Libya confirms that he came to create sedition and fragment Sudan. Ismail directed his criticism at former Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok, saying that he had become a prisoner between the palace and the Council of Ministers, accusing activists of isolating him from the Sudanese people. He continued, “He could not get out of the circle drawn by the constitutional document and lost his popular support,” adding, “He has become an effendi who comes to issue his decisions from his office and returns home.”
