December 13\u2026 Engineering the Security and Political Landscape<\/p>\n
\n
December 13 comes as a milestone in the Sudanese collective consciousness, at a moment in which the national dimension intersects with complex regional and international challenges. Speaking of the alignment of Sudanese people inside the country and abroad in support of the Armed Forces reflects a conscious understanding that the battle for dignity is a battle for existence, one that obliges Sudanese to unite ranks and rise above narrow political affiliations in favor of the homeland.<\/p>\n
\n
International and regional institutions have condemned the crimes of the Rapid Support Forces militia against civilians, and the statement of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker T\u00fcrk, came to place the essence of the conflict in its correct formulation: \u201ca war fought by proxy and targeting Sudan\u2019s natural resources.\u201d This international acknowledgment is not new to Sudanese who have experienced the war on their land, but it constitutes a political testimony that strengthens unity of destiny and closes the doors to falsification and betrayal.<\/p>\n
\n
The mass mobilization on this day is not aimed at affirming support for the army, as that is already firmly established by daily sacrifices; rather, it aims to send a decisive message to anyone betting on the fragmentation of Sudan or the swallowing of its national decision: that the popular will is the first line of defense, and that the homeland is not an arena for bargaining or blackmail.<\/p>\n
\n
At this moment, the Sudanese conscience recalls the narratives of history when ancestors rose to protect sovereignty, as if the scene brings back memories of Karari and Umm Dabakarat\u2014a moment in which will is tested before the machinery of war. The message today is clear: whoever thinks of breaking the will of the Sudanese must prepare for a cost beyond their capacity to bear.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cNational Day\u201d is not a rhetorical occasion, but a day in which positions precede words, and in which the mettle of men and women who write the country\u2019s future through action, not slogans, is tested. At a time when external agendas converge, the voice of the homeland rises above all others, and alignment behind the Sudanese army becomes a national duty that transcends politics into the depths of identity and belonging.<\/p>\n
\n
Sudanese inside the country and in the diaspora are expected to participate to achieve a set of objectives. First: at the local level, strengthening the national legitimacy of the Armed Forces by embodying the slogan \u201cOne Army\u2026 One People,\u201d thereby enhancing negotiating capacity in accordance with the national vision: no place for the militia on the day after the war.<\/p>\n
\n
Re-sorting the internal political landscape and highlighting who stands with the state\u2014army and people\u2014and who hesitates, which may pave the way for the emergence of a new political bloc founded on protecting the state and the national project, not on old axes and zero-sum conflicts.<\/p>\n
\n
Raising morale and consolidating the internal front, for in long wars morale equals the impact of weapons, while also weakening the militia\u2019s attempts to divide ranks through propaganda and misinformation. Narrowing the space for maneuver for the supporters of the war: when the street speaks, evasion of the truth becomes harder and submission to reality inevitable.<\/p>\n
\n
Second: at the regional level, recalibrating the calculations of neighboring countries (Egypt, Chad, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Libya\u2026) that observe Sudan from a national security perspective. The broad popular scene sends a message: Sudan is not a failed state, and its army enjoys social cover and wide popular support.<\/p>\n
\n
Increasing pressure on the parties financing the war, for when anger turns into a collective stance, calculations are revisited for fear of erosion of influence or escalation of pressures. Pushing toward the regional isolation of the Rapid Support Forces, as part of regional interaction is affected by the balance of popular and military power. Alongside restoring Sudan\u2019s standing in its Arab and African surroundings as a state capable of restoring stability and returning to its natural role in leadership and in enhancing security in the regional environment.<\/p>\n
\n
Third: at the international level, transforming popular mobilization into a diplomatic pressure card, as major capitals and international organizations are influenced by the scale of participation and the unity of the message, which strengthens engagement with the government and the Armed Forces as the sole legitimate representatives of the state.<\/p>\n
\n
Reinforcing the state\u2019s narrative that this is a war of aggression that necessitates classifying the Rapid Support Forces militia as a terrorist organization, as major powers often require political and popular cover before decisive decisions, which may push toward stricter steps. Likewise, weakening the media narrative of the militia and its supporters that attempted to portray it as a popular force or a political necessity. In addition, enhancing opportunities for humanitarian and economic support when the international community sees the Sudanese army capable of restoring the state and its cohesion.<\/p>\n
\n
In this sense, and according to #The_Face_of_Truth, December 13 becomes an important political indicator affirming that protecting the state is no longer the responsibility of a single institution, but a shared duty between the army and its people, between \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0647\u062c\u0631\u060c between national memory and the land. This is the beginning of engineering the security and political landscape in the country.<\/p>\n
\n
Wishing you well and good health.<\/p>\n
