THE CRISIS OF RELIGIOUS FAITH AND RULING
POLITICS
A CRITIQUE OF THE MUSLIM ULAMA AND LEADERS'
CALL TO AHL AL-SUDAN (8)
The companies that involved themselves against the Will of Sudanese People
to assist Al-Haraka Islamiya State and Party to exploit for war mongering
and corruption the oil fields of Southern Sudan, Nuba Mountains, Ingessana,
and DarFur included Talisman and China. These non-Muslim companies are now
dealt with by their own citizens and shareholders due to the pressure exerted
by Sudanese and other concerned parties at home and in Diaspora to pull them
out of Sudan.
What is amazing is that the shareholders, supposedly Muslims, from Pakistan,
Malaysia, and Qatar who are competing to get the best concessions from Al-Haraka
Islamiya State and they did obtain many, were not deterred from involving
themselves in the willful capitalist investment they are pursuing to assist
the NIF Congress rule to survive and continue the killing and displacement
regime is carrying on against the indigenous population, the real owners of
the oil-fields in the absence of a Sudanese democratic government.
Your Haraka Islamiya investors showed no sign of concern for Islam
as a religion of justice and fairness since the terms of contracts they signed
with the ruling group are unfair and are exploitative.
What Malaysia, Pakistan, and Qatar companies are investing in Sudan under
the circumstances stay in one degree with the non-Muslim investors. Couldn't
these greedy groups wait until the real owners of business start the business?!
This indicates that Faith had nothing to do with the cheap benefits of international
robbery and unethical trade that your Haraka processed in Sudan along
with mischief and bloodshed. Is this what your international Haraka Islamiya
stands for in actual fact?!
THE GENOCIDE OF SUDANESE PEOPLE AND CULTURES
The Haraka Islamiya State and Party, the wreckage it made of our beautiful
Homeland against our People, the Sudanese Muslim or non-Muslim, is sinful
because:
- The Haraka Islamiya acted as a savage monster to eradicate Sudanese
women and children. It did eradicate thousands of innocent civilians in
all corners of the State.
- It has implemented an anti-Islamic violence-based program, the offensively-called
Islamic Project, against humanity to pursue ethnic cleansing of Sudanese
women, children, youth, and elderly of whom tens of thousands of innocent
non-Muslims were killed in cold blood all over Southern Sudan, Nuba Mountains,
and Ingessana Hills for nothing but war mongering. Most victims were taken
to torture, enslavement, and death by Shubha [suspicion] or simply
by residence, non-Arabic names, or non-Muslim faith. Sudanese ask: Since
Islam prohibits bloodshed and Shubha is prohibited because it even
nullifies prayers, let alone accusing and killing innocent People, did the
Ulama and Thinkers signatories to the Call with all the specialists
who signed with them say any word to protest this murderous suspicion as
a non-Islamic atrocity? Did they stop the Haraka Islamiya State and
Party from torturing peace-advocates who supported the Sudanese Peace Agreement
that the Haraka willfully canceled?
- It has extra-judicially killed thousands of innocent Sudanese of whom
majority were innocent Nuba Muslims, the Massaleit and Zagawa Muslims of
DarFur, and the Rashyda and Beja of Eastern Sudan besides the Ansar Sunna
who were massacred while performing the Friday prayers at the mosque, Khatmiya,
Ansar, and many other Muslims.
- It has involved in an unprecedented anti-Islamic Project of bloodshed
and sequestration of property of thousands of Sudanese, Muslim or non-Muslim,
all over the country with executive decrees issued and applied by president
Omer Bashir through the close and continuous guidance of the Haraka Islamiya
led by za'im Al-Haraka Dr. Hassan Turabi and his assistants, especially
Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, Dr. Ghazi Al-Atabani, and all of the other civil
and military leaders of the NIF Congress State and Party.
The Islamic Project of your Haraka Islamiya State and Party did not
only endeavor to conquer the Sudanese democratic State that developed over
a century of Sudanese active nationalist movement and was certainly prone
to go for more development and progression had it not been for your reactionary
backward and violent intrusions in Sudanese nationalist movement. Your so-called
Islamic Project came to conquer Sudanese State and Society as Professor Ali
Abd-Allah Abbas, President of the Sudanese University Professors' Union, succinctly
stated early in 1989.
Your emphasis on Arabizing the already Arabized North was such a masterful
disaster for actually there is nothing in Sudanese realities or experiences
that approximated your massive attack on Sudanese cultures under the Haraka
Islamiya rule. Sudanese use the Arabic language in their daily life, including
reading the Qur'an, as well as government and market correspondence without
any need for compulsion to adopt more Arabic. The non-Arab Sudanese have constructed
their own formulation of Arabic to communicate with their counterparts, the
Arab-Speaking nationals for centuries. Different versions of Arabic became
a pure Sudanese cultural heritage and an artistic addition to Sudanese social
life such as the Juba Arabic, the Beja Arabic, Nubians' Arabic, among many
others.
