Amid His Persistent Defense of the Muslim Brotherhood… Sudanese Resistance Committees Launch an Attack on Yasser Al-Atta
The Sudanese Resistance Committees have launched a significant attack on Yasser Al-Atta, the assistant to the Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces and a member of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council. This assault stems from his persistent efforts to defend the former regime and the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as his attempt to replace the resistance committees with popular resistance. These actions have been interpreted by December’s revolutionaries as a sign of the former regime elements preparing to re-enter the scene.
The leaders of the Sudanese Revolutionary Alliance consider Al-Atta‘s statements as an unjust invitation, aiming to empower Islamists once again, along with further repression, killings, and censorship, as reported by the Sudanese newspaper.
The Nile Resistance Committees believe that Al-Atta‘s speech only extends their efforts to protect the Brotherhood regime from dissolution. They state that his speech is devoid of logic and reality, and premature. They also challenge the general’s right to decide who governs Sudan or how it is governed, threatening that they could be replaced by other military figures like Bakry Hassan Saleh and Omar Al-Bashir. They ask Al-Atta when the Sudanese people gave him the authority to declare wars.
They add that his comments on replacing the resistance committees with popular resistance are not solely from Al-Atta, but from all the propaganda coming from the kizan movement circle.
Furthermore, they continued, “All the military deceptions and their war against the revolutionary civilian forces clearly demonstrate their personal ambition and belief in security militarization. The military coups are part of their security-military doctrine, with their keenness on elections being the solution to all the country’s problems, provided they occur before the completion of dismantling the previous regime.
This discourse is exposed by the military’s history and their coup ambitions. It’s as if Al-Atta is calling for hastening elections to bring about a Kizan government chosen by the people, and if their desired government doesn’t materialize, they overthrow it. Here we ask: Does the general’s speech represent the vision of the military institution that overthrew the revolutionary government, and is there a schism within the leadership?”
