BEIRUT The United States Treasury Department enforced brand-new sanctions on Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces, implicating him of destabilizing Sudan and weakening the democratic transition.Washingtons outright involvement in Sudan exposes the United States double standards that claim promoting the worths of human rights and democracy while their primary objective is to secure its colonial interests.The main spokesperson for the Sudanese Armed Forces stated that the United States unfair sanctions will not deter the army from performing its legal and constitutional duty to safeguard Sudan.During the past years, it has actually been shown that whenever there is a significant advancement in any military arena, the US administration intervenes to block this progress, corresponding too with an apparent Israeli intervention.The United States carrot and stick policy will not have a direct effect on the course of the ongoing war whether at political, security or military levels offered previous experiences; sanctions on the Omar al-Bashir program just complicated Washingtons relations with Khartoum.The sanctions corresponded with the advance of the Sudanese Armed Forces in Al-Jazeera State and their control of the strategic city of Wad Madani, while they were attempting to expel the Rapid Support Forces from the capital Khartoum towards Darfur State, despite efforts to distribute the army by battle residential communities and important infrastructure.The most practical choice that many Sudanese experts agree on is to militarily decide the war versus what they call defiant group as the main function of the sanctions is to break the will of the Sudanese individuals to prevent them from attaining definitive field progress, along with keeping Sudan under Washingtons imperialist hegemony.Major General Abdel Hadi Abdel-Basit, a Sudanese military professional, described the sanctions as ignorant and worthless sanctions, pointing out the experience of the Salvation Government, which prevented comparable sanctions over 3 decades.Abdel-Basit anticipates that the sanctions will press Sudan towards more independence and new partnerships, with Russia.
Undoubtedly, what seriously worries Washington is the Sudanese-Russian rapprochement that means a drastic change in the balance of power in Africa.What is taking place in Sudan regrettably exposes the anguish of Arab nationwide security and the impotence of all previous initiatives for a service.
Some Arab governments not only support the warring parties but likewise combat amongst themselves, just as they are performing in Sudan.These included federal governments lack the slightest level of political maturity; Sudan is completely missing from their programs.
In Syria when Washington provided the green light, Arab delegations started to flock to Damascus to fulfill Al-Julani and his authorities.
Sudan is being torn apart like Libya; this opens the door to more United States and Israeli interventions versus the goals of the Sudanese people to return to security, stability and regular life.
How long will the Arabs wait for the American signal to settle their own nationwide security problems?
