Sudan has a long history of conflict, with more than a dozen military coups since independence in 1956. In Sudan, the two warring groups are fighting for the throne and hundreds of people have been killed in the ongoing violence due to the fight between the two generals in the African country.
If the ongoing conflict in Sudan is seen in the perspective of geographical borders, then the place where the gunpowder is currently falling is very close to Bab al-Mandab and this route leads to the Suez Canal. Here, China has also established a large base in Eritrea, due to which Sudan has become very important to the United States.
After the departure of President Omar al-Bashir in 2019, relations between the United States and Sudan were restored, and this is the reason why the White House claimed to have a ceasefire and control the situation in Sudan. A few days ago, a ceasefire was attempted in Sudan, but this attempt could not be successful.
In the same year i.e., 2019, after the ouster of former President Omar al-Bashir, it was agreed to arrange a transitional period in the country, after which Abdul Fattah Al-Barhan assumed the presidency of the ruling autonomy council and Muhammad Hamdan Daqloo Hamidati was his deputy.
Al-Barhan and Hamidati are accusing each other of instigating the bloody fighting between Al-Barhan’s army and the RSF led by Mohammad Hamdan Daqloo last April. And they are also claiming to control key points in the capital Khartoum and other cities.
Here we are happy that the situation in Pakistan has never reached the limits of tension where the blood of its own people is shed. Street crimes and terrorism are there but our forces are handling the situation well.
After the deterioration of the situation in Sudan, the efforts of our Foreign Office are commendable that as soon as the situation worsens, Pakistanis have been brought back home safely by taking immediate steps, while many countries are still trying to evacuate their citizens safely.
The worrying thing is that the global and geographical conditions and implications also play a key role in successive conflicts and wars in Muslim countries and unfortunately both the warring groups continue to end the lives of their own Muslim brothers despite being fellow countrymen and Muslims. To which it can be said:
کفرکے فتووں نے توہین کے اعلانوں نے
طبلِ جنگ نے اور جبر کے زندانوں نے
ساری دنیا نے بھی مل کر نہیں مارے ہوں گے
جتنے مارے ہیں مسلمان مسلمانوں نے
In fact, the tension in Sudan has reached its limits, people’s lives have become miserable, hospitals are closed, medicines have disappeared and it is not understood why Muslims are thirsty for the blood of Muslims. In such a situation, OIC Needs immediate intervention.
After the tension anywhere in the world, UNHCR, the refugee organization in the United Nations, starts immediate work and even the organization has urged the international community to help those who escaped from the conflict of the army in Sudan. Therefore, keep the borders open and suspend decisions against granting asylum to Sudanese people who cannot return because of the war.
There are UNHCR staff in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya and other countries for those coming from Sudan, but the situation is more alarming due to the closure of medical centers in Sudan.
If you look at Sudan in the world scenario, the importance of Sudan has increased a lot because Sudan has recognized Israel, has improved diplomatic relations with America, but until your own house is fixed, there will be no stability.
After Rapid Force announced a 3-day ceasefire on May 5, brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia, to open a corridor for humanitarian aid, facilitate the movement of civilians and regional residents, negotiations between the two parties are also taking place in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
If the situation in Sudan is not controlled, it will affect other neighboring and Gulf countries and Saudi Arabia may also be affected. Now here it should also be remembered that the distance from Yemen to Bab al-Mandab and the Suez Canal is not very great.
If the Suez Canal is closed due to this tension, inflation will increase to such an extent that even after a 100-fold increase, an item of Rs.100 will be difficult to find.
Therefore, the world will not want the Suez Canal to be closed, because if the Suez Canal is closed, not only Sudan or the region, but the whole world will be badly affected.
