The 2019 constitutional document was disputed & now practically dead. No one dares go against the will of the streets right now except a few affiliates of the ousted regime.
This statement is problematic & doesn’t rises to the level of the people’s aspirations. #keepEyesOnSudan
The only positive thing is not recognizing any PM appointment by the junta. #SudanCoup leaders are scrambling right now to find someone to designate as the new civilian face of their kleptocratic totalitarian regime - rumors are flying around all day long.
The statement is also contradictory; they encourage dialogue which involves #SudanCoup leaders being part of the upcoming government, but at the same time wanting to hold the people responsible for the atrocities accountable. Those perps are the coup leaders. 🤦🏽♀️ #KeepEyesOnSudan
For me; it’s the junta vs the people. There’s no gray area: you either support the people, impose sanctions & pressure the coup backers or pick the junta’s side.
The int’l community wants to get rid of the problem at any cost ignoring the people in the process #KeepEyesOnSudan

When the intl community suggests “dialogue with the military”, I think they are missing one important difference between the Sudanese military & the norm in the rest of the world - with a few exceptions:
The ousted fascist islamist regime has fundamentally changed—->
<—the nature & hierarchy of the armed forces. 1989 coup planning took long time & meticulous preparations. They recruited officers to the NCP & radicalized their beliefs so that their loyalty is to the islamists ideology outweighs their loyalty to the country & their mission—>
<— the top generals are compromised beyond rehabilitation. Same generals became the Security Committee of Bashir regime & took over when he was ousted in 2019. Then they rebranded to Transitional Military Council #TMC amid the protests & sit-ins. They continued to quell descent—>
It is far from true. Even @TiborPNagyJr government doesn’t agree with his assessment. To make this objective; one should list the reasons & perceived similarities between Sudan & in this case Libya. Not just agree with a shallow blanket statement like mr Nagy’s. #KeepEyesOnSudan
I’d start with the fact that there’s virtually no difference between Bashir regime & Burhan’s. The RSF & other militias existed & were more vicious then. When Bashir’s regime fell his security committee took over & they had to share power with civilians. We didn’t become Libya!▶️
If you think the parallel is the tribal society, this is also false argument, because the nature is completely different. We’re moving away from tribalism. Just take a look at the protesters, what they want & who they represent.
Besides the non-violence. We won’t carry arms.▶️
The US seems to lack interest in the region all together. I’ve never bought that superpowers live by what they breach, but this is shameful even for the US with its history with dictatorships & wars. The US lost its compass & has no idea what democracy is anymore #KeepEyesOnSudan
I’d expect such a statement from the Gulf countries or Egypt. They worked hard to see #SudanCoup through, but the US - at least superficially- used to stand for something. Now it’s the Sudanese people vs the junta. They’ll succeed & history will remember who picked what side.
Needless to say that when I name a country, I mean the government not the people. We know very well what kind of suffering the people of the region are enduring due to the oppression by their own corrupt leaders.
