How Are Sudanese Brotherhood Trying to Exploit the Conflict in the Country?
Sudan is suffering from a severe split between the RSF and the Sudanese army led by al-Burhan, with disastrous repercussions and shootings everywhere, a time favored to be exploited by the Brotherhood’s terrorist leadership.
The terror group exploits the lack of security and disagreements between powerful fronts in Sudan to impose itself on Sudan’s political society, where it is trying to turn the conflict into their hands and interests.
Conflict in Sudan
Fierce fighting has continued unabated in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. So far, not all regional initiatives and international and United Nations demands have succeeded in containing it, nor has the establishment of a temporary truce to deliver some humanitarian assistance to those affected, who number in the millions.
“The Sudanese are suffering from multiple shortages of water, food, and medicine, due to fighting between forces of the two sides, and the Brotherhood is struggling to employ the current situation pragmatically for political ends and to have a place on the political map beforehand.”
The Brotherhood in Sudan?
Since the beginning of the crisis earlier this week, the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood hurried to declare their alliance with General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan and the Sudanese Army versus the Rapid Support Forces. The group tried to export the measure as a sign of support for stability and national institutions.
The organization’s decision came as part of the process of prior political agreement with al-Burhan, conditional on the Brotherhood’s return to politics.
A statement issued by the Muslim Brotherhood on Saturday evening called on the parties to uphold national interests, maintain the unity and stability of Sudan above all other considerations, and proceed without delay to complete the remaining transitional period obligations to hand over full power to civilians.
“The Muslim Brotherhood, the Sudan branch with two fronts, the International Organization led by Comptroller General Adel Abdullah, or the Local Organization headed by Seif al-Din Arbab, explicitly declared its allegiance to the army represented by Abdul Fattah al-Burhan.”
This has led to the argument that allowed the organization to return to political activity, a decision that has recently stirred controversy.
The Brotherhood are the ones doing the fighting
According to Mustafa Hamza, an expert on Islamist groups, the Brotherhood is dragging the situation in Sudan to war in order to abort the framework agreement and the political process that ultimately leads to a civilian government and the departure of the military from power and to practice politics. No one in Sudan has an interest in war other than the remnants of the former regime to block the road to democratic transition and dismantling the structure of their organization within the civil and military institutions of the state.
He added that Sudan suffers greatly, and this is where the Sudanese people show the Brotherhood as a lifeline, which is not real, and with crises, the Brotherhood appears to serve their interests in returning again, and what is happening in Sudan is a fertile environment for them.
He added that members of the Muslim Brotherhood regime have intensified their activities in the Sudanese arena, raising the flags of war and opening fronts of blatant hostility to the framework agreement, amid a campaign of incitement and calls for the armed forces to withdraw from the political process under the pretext that it is confined to a specific political group.
