Retired police officer Abdalla Suleiman - member of the dissolved Empowerment Removal Committee & recently released after 8 months detention - revealed that Mubarak Ardol, director of the #Sudanese mineral resources 👉🏼
👈🏼company was behind his arrest.
He mentioned that Sawi gold mine in the River Nile state produced 86 kilograms in 2020-2021 which remain unaccounted for.
He said that the mills belong to NCP Holy Quran association (was dissolved by #DERC but resumed activities after #SudanCoup👉🏼
👈🏼 He said that he reviewed the case,visited the area, talked to technicians on site, personally wrote the report & 2 days before #SudanCoup filed a police report against Ardol who also employed 4 of his relatives in the mine.
I’ll start with @pavan_777 excellent report:
“At least 37 deaths were confirmed by the NGO Walking Borders, while Moroccan authorities claimed that 23 died in a “stampede”
#Morocco has been so eager to please the EU at any price.
Association Marocaine des Droit Humaines - Section Nador - has been following up on the victims.
Information & photos are published regularly on their Facebook page: facebook.com/AmdhNador/
I’ll compile a list to raise awareness & maybe help identify someone. #Sudan#SudanCoup
#SudanCoup
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—>
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
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.
