Wikileaks Al-Fashir traced the violence in the Blue Nile state to SPLM-N Malik Agar, who charged the native administration’s structure by appointing one of his relatives as chief for all the Blue Nile tribes.
👈🏼chose a chief for the Hausa & decided the geographical limits of the tribe’s lands as well as a site for an administrative building that didn’t sit well with the Hausa (no explanation)
The new Hausa chief decided to prohibit all Hausa girls from working in the market 👉🏼 #Sudan

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.

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 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.
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!▶️

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.
