A great deal of fanfare in the media, and a little bit of grinding about what television broadcasts these days about the fierce battles taking place in Sudan between two military generals, who tried for a long time to postpone the transfer of power to the civil institution as promised, and when they exhausted all excuses and justifications for delay and procrastination since 2019 to transfer power, came The moment of truth, which is the impossibility of the existence of two military leaderships, side by side, head-on, in one country. The decision was to burn Sudan and the two Sudanese so that one of them could monopolize power, or to share Sudan east and west or north and south, after General Omar al-Bashir neglected before them a strategic and vital part of Sudan.
A war of the size and ferocity of the war that has been raging in Sudan for four days (and it is likely to continue, of course), cannot be the only result of the conflict between two military generals who are fed up with each other only, unless there is someone behind this war who is feeding it and watching over its continuation from those who have He has a history and a long history of driving a wedge between peoples and striking the civil peace and security of every country and every corner of the world, as is the war in Libya and Ukraine, and as is the well-known war in Chinese Taiwan.
Gandhi sums up his experience with British meanness by saying: "If two fish fought in the sea, know that Britain is behind their fight." It is unfortunate for the Sudan and the Sudanese that Britain and its heir are strongly present in the Sudanese affairs since the independence of Sudan until today. It is unfortunate for the world that British “meanness” has evolved a lot and gone through multiple dangerous genetic mutations, from covert to open, and from the absence of the sun from the empire on which the sun does not set, to the absence of the sun from unipolar domination, where the wounded tiger threatens American nuclear submarines in confrontation Chinese diplomacy.
The geographical importance of Sudan and Africa is not new, with its minerals, gold, water, soil fertility and resources above and below the ground such as gas, oil and minerals, but what is new is the African time element, which can explain what is happening in Sudan deeply and from the roots.
Sudan and Africa represent a very important temporal element in addition to the geographical element in light of the intensifying competition of global powers to share influence, forge alliances and form the new world order. The United States, which topped the world as a unified pole of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, is no longer able to occupy this seat, as global powers have become in advanced and developed positions that match the American ability militarily, economically, and technically, and China comes at the forefront, not to mention the restlessness and distress of many countries with the confusion and America’s management of its relations with friends, as well About opponents and enemies. The recent statements of French President Emmanuel Macron in Beijing are one of many positions that paint a picture of what the US and the world’s relations have become, just as what was leaked from US documents recently clearly reveals the hidden crisis of confidence that surrounds US policy towards its allies. The American action towards countries and groups that decided to replace the dollar with their national currencies or new currencies, reveals the depth of the dilemma that America suffers at this stage.
On top of all that, and as an extension of all of the aforementioned, there is a broad and strong African political current that crosses most African countries, and wants to re-liberate Africa from American and French domination and dependence and all countries with a colonial history.
The fragmentation of Sudan and turning it into a failed state is a Western strategic goal, an extension of the same Western project in Libya and Somalia to prevent the achievement of an economically unified Africa at the hands of China, which considers Africa an important market for its products and its Silk Road. The fragmentation of Sudan strikes any future Arab-African economic project apart from the Western umbrella, not to mention that the fragmentation of Sudan could harm Egypt, which is targeted as a population bloc and as a neighboring country to the Israeli entity. Rather, the fragmentation of Sudan coincides with the Ethiopian renaissance project in many of its aspects.
Will the train of Chinese diplomacy succeed in crossing Africa through the reconciliation of the Khartoum generals, in order to abort the largest projects of plundering and stealing Africa, and stop the impoverishment and starvation of Africans? Will China succeed in bringing down the curtain on the worst chapters of human history ever?
