The Yasmine in Sudan..

Many ask, where is Sudan among the fiercely outbreak of public unrest and protest in many Arab countries..  Sudan, with its known reputation of political activities and politics-loving people, had shown an insignificant response to the current Middle Eastern tsunami.. This mark the times with legitimate questions about our political states and consensus in this historical moments..

These days, lots of outspoken are there, who mostly are negative factors to the nation building exercise most the Middle Eastern societies are going through.. The question is not applying academic models and modular’s on the communities, for a simple reason that they are living organs, that would reshape itself differently in some mysterious manners..

Many analysts had dropped the possibility for the Yasmine revolution to happen or to reach Egypt, Yemen, Jordan and Syria in the way it did.. No one till couple of weeks ago; would believe that Egyptians from all classes would protest in the streets against Mubarak, defeating the traditional folkloric fear from police forces..

There are a lot to learn from the concurrent sociopolitical uprisings and movements.. Therefore, calm, unenthusiastic and non-fanatic approaches are required to understand and predict.. Simply, true scientific analysis and forecast..


Sudan is not different from others.. Simply, there are three factors taking-hold of our true uprising.. That true one, which would change legally, culturally and strategically the frames of Sudanese political life..


Firstly, our people are extremely physically and emotionally exhausted from various appealing, yet premature political manifests; which reflect the decline of our political parties due to aging leadership, ill-membership and/or out-dated mandate..


Secondly; New generations who had been born or raised during the last 20 years (almost 60% of population) had their different set of priorities and vision of the country.. This has never been interpreted in any political script by any author or publisher; either epistemically incapable or socio-politically incompetent..


Thirdly, the long awaited national political platform is never ready after 50 years of independence, three revolutions, tens of armed coups and God-Knows’ political fictions.. Simply, what is the Sudanese National/Strategic Security breakdown..??

I believe the Sudanese intelligentsia is required to create new forms of political activities and groups, free from the traditional forms and way of doing business, while more open to the global definitions without the traditional cliché that Sudan is different..!! No wonder the public will no more believe or trust the current political fictions, who had failed to add any value to the commons..

Many cultural and political taboos should be reinvestigated and set for scientific and national trials to put them in their true measures not exaggeration or down-sizing by deliberation.. Sudanese are no longer a walking book-shelves, but ordinarily people who would read whenever true liabilities and responsibilities of life are met.. No more a household of single bread earner and a dozen of lazy youth do nothing but reading, listening to BBC or playing cards..!! No more distances between men and women, no more class-free society, and no more religion driven by mythical Sufi groups..

This would be a launch of civic debate, which should not concluded soon..!!
