NORMALIZATION IS OUT PLACE

One day prior to the visit of the US Secretary of State to Sudan – arriving from Tel Aviv – some Sudanese political parties declared that they support normalization with Israel “if that would solve the crises of Sudan”.
It is regrettable that the Sudanese political parties have no ‘political vision’ for addressing the crises of the Sudan and believe that this is only possible by normalizing Sudan’s relations with Israel! It is shocking that they perceive this normalization as a salvation to the Sudanese people. This proves that the political elites are responsible for all crises the Sudan has been suffering from since independence in 1956. This responsibility also includes the several military coups that had taken place in Sudan ever since. This is because the civil governments have failed to rule the country properly – causing crises and instability that have stimulated the several coups that had governed the country more than the civilian (partisan) governments had (out of 64 years the military ruled 52 years).
It is shame of our political parties to look for solutions outside Sudan or to seek them from other powers at the expense of our independence, sovereignty and dignity. It is now high time these ‘obsolete’ parties had given up the way for a new generation who possesses the strong political will and has strategic political vision to lead the country. Those ‘dinosaurs’ are not qualified to impose themselves on a conscious people who have led the third most splendid popular uprisings in the world (1964, 1985 and 2019/2020).
The real crisis lies in the absence of a leading rational mentality with a strategic vision which is capable of managing diversity and resources properly and competently. Sudan is rich of resources, but poor of the ‘master mind’ who will orchestrate this unique mosaic and put the country in the right track of development, prosperity and renaissance.
With regard to the government’s stance towards the issue of normalization it seems that the Chairman of the Council of Sovereignty, General Abdul-fattah Al-Burhan, has put the government in a predicament as he had already met with the Israeli President some months ago in Uganda and giving him both hopes and ‘spaces’ for flying via Sudan as the first steps for normalization.
Neither Al-Burhan, nor Hamdok – or even the entire Transitional Government – is entitled to decide on the issue of normalization. One expected that the Sudan’s Prime Minister, Abddalla Hamdok, should have put the matter more clear than he had done in somewhat diplomatic gesture. It was more advisable that Hamdok should have told the Israeli prime minister that the issue is actually ‘out of place’. It is not a matter of ‘different tracks’ but rather of principles.
