The Lost Revolution
Rashid Abdel Rahim
The great victories achieved through the steadfastness of the Sudanese people, the army, and allied forces in the War of Dignity have defeated the enemies of patriotism and the nation—both military and political forces.
The rebellion is over. Nothing remains of it but lies, fabrication, and cowardly warfare from afar through drone strikes.
The unpatriotic forces are finished. They have nothing left to offer except digging up the past.
On the anniversary of their lost December revolution, all they could muster were hollow threats they lacked the power to enforce. Ismail al-Taj, a Forces for Freedom and Change leader, declared: “Burhan has crossed the red line for the last time—there is no alternative but to remove him.”
But with what power will they remove him?
The rebellion has left every household with painful memories—the least of which is the looting and destruction of homes. And this same Burhan, whom this pretender seeks to overthrow, is the army commander who expelled the rebellion from those homes, allowing their rightful owners to return.
Their political vision is so bankrupt that they now oppose a victorious army enjoying popular support. They hang up their banners, arrogantly proclaiming, “Even if dawn breaks, you cannot stop the tanks.”
Their hostility towards the army is not just empty rhetoric—their leaders have actively participated in the war alongside the rebels. This was exposed by the dismissed advisor, Youssef Ezzat, who revealed that Tahir Osman, a leader of the Liberation Forces, was the Freedom and Change representative in the office of the rebellion’s second-in-command, Abdel Rahim Dagalo.
Their statement claimed that “the December anniversary troubles the warmongers.” But war cannot be stopped by one side alone—do they even have the courage or capability to demand that the rebellion cease its attacks?
Their arrows have missed the mark, just like the arrows of their military wing, the Janjaweed, who have nothing left in this war but to wage cowardly battles—launching drones against infrastructure and vital facilities that provide essential services to the Sudanese people.
Now in hiding, the rebel governor of Khartoum sneered: “People of the north, do you expect them to lay out roses for you and hand out sweets? Our war in the north will only be drones and missiles.”
Their revolution has been lost. Their leaders have gone into hiding—Hamdok, Selk, and their followers have vanished from the scene, just as Hemedti and his advisor have disappeared. May God pile falsehood upon falsehood so the people of Sudan may finally find relief from it.
