Patience is Key

Rashid Abdul Rahim
The rebel forces issued a warning to the joint forces, the army, and mobilized volunteers in El Fasher, giving them 48 hours to lay down their arms and surrender.
They announced that they had prepared for the battle with 6,000 soldiers and 398 combat vehicles.
The resilient forces in the city have repelled over 170 attacks since the war began, killing many rebel leaders, including Ali Yaqub, Qarn Shatta, and others.
The rebels have consistently relied on lies and deception throughout this war. In their latest falsehood, they claimed to have 6,000 fighters and 398 fully equipped vehicles. If each vehicle could impossibly carry ten fighters, how would more than 2,000 of these alleged soldiers fight without transportation?
The rebel forces are conducting their war with a blatant and ugly racist agenda. They have repeatedly declared their intention to target northern areas, especially the Ja’aliyyin and other northern tribes in Shendi, Atbara, and Dongola. It is not unlikely that they aim to divert the forces’ attention to El Fasher and then launch an attack on the north from Al-Dabba.
The rebels consistently appoint tribal elements from the Mahariya to lead their forces. In the battles for El Fasher, leaders like Ali Yaqub and Qarn Shatta took charge, and now the operation is led by Abdel Rahim Daglo.
The rebel leadership does not tolerate non-tribal elements among its ranks. They conspired against Captain Sufyan, eliminated Kaykal, and recently betrayed their commander in Al-Jazeera, known as “Sharon,” accusing him of ties with military intelligence.
With such blatant racism, deceit, and disregard for their soldiers, who are being killed by the hundreds daily, the rebels cannot sustain this war for long.
There is widespread impatience within the armed forces to end the war decisively by storming the general command after the signal forces regroup.
However, such haste risks losing a critical advantage: completely eliminating the rebellion.
This racially driven war could drag on, fueled by hatred, vengeance, and the pursuit of more than just military victory.
Every day brings significant strides toward eliminating this cancer.
Yesterday, the army repelled a major attack on Al-Aylafoun, killing dozens, and hundreds more were killed in Kafouri as they lined up for their salaries.
Our forces have liberated Al-Jazeera, Blue Nile, White Nile, and Sennar and are advancing steadily in the capital triangle. The rebels have failed to gain control of Babanoosa, El Fasher, and Kordofan.
War requires patience, and only a little remains before the final victory is achieved. Let us remain steadfast, for our soldiers are resolute, and God’s promise of triumph is drawing near.
