The Residents of Wad Madani in a State of Terror… The Muslim Brotherhood and the Former Regime Incite Against Them


The remnants of Sudan‘s deposed former regime and the Islamic Movement (the Muslim Brotherhood) have begun inciting the army and its supporting forces to retaliate against citizens who remained in Wad Madani, a city recently retaken by the army from the Rapid Support Forces, as well as those they label as collaborators.

Legal experts, politicians, and activists have urged the army not to heed the calls of the former regime’s remnants and the Muslim Brotherhood. Instead, they emphasized the importance of handling accusations of collaboration with the Rapid Support Forces through legal channels and not leaving the matter to Islamist militia elements, according to Medameek news outlet.

Khalid Omar Youssef, a leader of the Tagaddom Coordination, stated in a post on his Facebook page: “The people of Al-Jazirah have the right to rejoice after enduring a difficult year filled with all forms of persecution and suffering since the Rapid Support Forces entered the state, accompanied by soldiers and gangs.”

He added: “If there is any advice for the armed forces, it is to resist the calls for revenge being fueled by various groups against defenseless citizens who remained in Al-Jazirah after the army’s withdrawal. These people had no choice but to adapt to the circumstances. Such calls will further tear apart the social fabric already damaged by the war and will only benefit those wishing ill upon Sudan.”

The Sudanese army announced the day before yesterday that it had entered the city of Wad Madani after more than a year of control by the Rapid Support Forces.

Wad Madani holds significant strategic importance as it connects five Sudanese states, enjoys a prominent economic status, and serves as the capital of Al-Jazirah State in central Sudan. It is also the second-largest city in Sudan by population and the closest city to the capital, Khartoum.
