Al-Daein Negotiations

Rashid Abdel Rahim

At times that have become familiar due to their repetition, the media and platforms talk about negotiations between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The same conversations take place on the battlefield—but in the language of weapons and force.

With the army and joint forces achieving victories in Kordofan, the rebellion responds with loud denials of negotiations every time they are defeated and demoralized in a city or location.

The language of the media claims that negotiations between the army and the RSF are taking place somewhere, without any official support or reference.

And the language of weapons and force says that “Al-Daein is next”—a response to the rebels’ delusions that negotiations will save them.

The heroes on the ground and the Sudanese people say no to negotiations. And the rebellion’s leaders claim that their war targets the Northern region and Shendi— are strongholds of the old system’s remnants and Islamists.

But the riffraff of the rebellion know full well that the Northern region was once a stronghold of the Unionists when they led the government of ‘56, and the Islamists had no presence there. This is nothing more than the zeal of ignorance and the foolish leadership dragging them into a racist war.

They concentrated their leadership and hardened forces in Nyala and Al-Daein to lay the groundwork for a national division—one that grants each faction its own territory, cities, and support bases.

Yesterday, the Armed Forces and Joint Forces advanced after recapturing Al-Khuwei, preparing to storm the rebels in their strongholds in Darfur.

When the rebellion held the center and north, the Armed Forces refused to negotiate—aware that they should never do so from a position of weakness.

Once our Armed Forces and allied power reach Darfur, the battles to come will be less difficult than those already fought, as the rebellion has lost its leaders, fighters, and equipment in the field. They will find no rescue in the movements or calls from their foreign backers, nor in the political wings of traitors in Taqaddum, Qaht, and Sommoud.

The Armed Forces refuse to negotiate with the rebels because their declared goal—from their top commanders—is to eliminate them and cleanse Sudan of their presence. Victory would be meaningless if it led to the return of the ignorant murderers from the Dagalo clan and their followers to share power.

The end of this war is to bring Sudan into a new phase—one in which only the national Armed Forces bear arms.

Sudan’s new phase must be a country where the political space and governance are reserved for those who defended the nation—with no place for traitors and murderers.

Soon, negotiations will take place—in the language and with the will of the Armed Forces—and in the echo of their victories. The catchphrase of these negotiations will be: “Al-Daein is next.”
