المطبلّتية

 


يسألون ويبحثون عن الوعي لدى الطليعة فينا..؟


لأننا في حقيقة الأمر شعوب وثقافات معادية للمنطق والمعقول..!!
ومن لدينا يحملون درجات وشهادات فهم في الأغلب يحملون أسفاراً..
وفيما بين العروش والكروش والرموش تتكون مفردات الوعي لدى غالبيتنا..

هكذا لا يوجد عالم ثاني ولا رابع ..!!

Nollywood


Like many others, I daily received more than 5 scam mails; which are typically generated by Nigerians.. Criminal mail scams became synonymous to Nigerians since their astonishing $5million penetration to the US Federal Pension System in 1990th.. However, the most populous country in Africa had been stuck with deep rooted corruption, deteriorated urbanity and declined human development.. Apparently, Nigerian politicians and intellectuals are either confused on what to do, or simply joined the ruling gangs..

In my attempt to understand the roots of Boko Haram, I was amazed with the numbers of Nollywood; yet was amazed further with the scale of violence, nudity and brutality in their production.. Regardless what drama is introduced; the common audience receive floods of materialistic, immoralities and porn feed across the scenes.. I guess either no a Control Board is there, or a very weak one.. I can't accept freedom as an option..!!
Therefore, no wonder for Boko Haram to evolve from Nollywood, as how the Arabic extremism evolved from the Egyptian 1970th entertainment and media industry.. At that time, AlHarm Street, where Egywooly, night clubs and celebrities had situated.. Abi-foq-AlShajarh, was the trigger for new culture deviating from the identity..
Egywood and Nollywood are migrations from the authentic realities of their societies, introducing 3 hours of wishful dreams, desires relief and temporary anesthesia for less than a Dollar..
When people retrieve their normal life, certainly most of them turn confused; while few go wildly angry..!!

The Lady in Red..


This is Ceyda Sungar, 'The Woman in Red' who became the symbol of Turkish protests after she was tear-gassed by police
This is the cultural difference and divide between Turkish and Arabs in general, and Egyptians in particular.. The Turkish Women in-Red is revealed within few days; while the Egyptian Woman in-Blue stills unknown thorough three years..  Lots you may read within these two lines..!!




By Daily Mail Reporter
8 June 2013

This is Ceyda Sungar, 'The Woman in Red' who became the symbol of Turkish protests after she was tear-gassed by police
This is the first picture of the Turkish academic since she became the unwitting icon of the country's mass protests after she was pictured being sprayed with tear gas.
Dubbed 'The Woman in Red' because she was wearing an elegant red dress when she was gassed, Ceyda Sungar has said she is uncomfortable with her fame and has no desire to be a figurehead of the movement.
'There are a lot of people who were at the park and they were also tear-gassed,' she told Turkey's TV24. 'There is no difference between them and I.'
Nevertheless, pictures have reverberated around the world of Miss Sungar, an academic in city planning at Istanbul Technical University, turning away from massed riot police as one officer sprays tear gas at her face.
Endlessly shared on social media and recreated as artwork on posters and stickers, the image - dubbed 'The Woman in Red' - has become the leitmotif for female protesters at recent violent anti-government riots in Istanbul.
But the academic, who is part of the Taksim Solidarity Platform protesting against the redevelopment of the park, has shied away from media attention.
She is believed to be uncomfortable with her position as the focal point of the movement - although her image alone has become a galvanising force for fellow protesters.
In the early hours of this morning thousands of protesters were digging in for a fresh weekend of demonstrations Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's demand for an immediate end to the worst political unrest of his decade in power.

Lebanon, Sudan and Others..!!

Lebanon: a Brain-Dead country

The Lebanese “superiority syndrome” may push them to believe that they are the smartest people on the face on this planet. It may even push them to fall victims to the anecdote that God has been so generous with them to make them the perfect country on the face of this earth, but since nothing is perfect, God gave them the worst neighbors, which is why they ended up in this worthless situation.
http://lebaneseexpatriate.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/lebanon-a-braindead-country/

 


Superiority Syndrome is not limited to Lebanon, but to most Arab Countries.. This comes in various terms, published or hidden.. Only Oman, Bahrain, Libya and Morocco had abandoned the hysterical competition.. Otherwise; all are Unique, Ideal, Mighty, Smart, Attractive, Historical, Prosperous or Rich.. This is why Arabic Spring falls apart, unable to sustain any meaningfulness..!!!

Moonfleet Eldai In Lebanon for sure there is this thing. I have experienced the condescension of their superiority so much.

As a Sudanese however do you think we suffer from this syndrome too ? Like you know our reputation as humble and simple people place as somewhere further away from Superiority Syndrome and I agree, the closest I have seen to us are teh Omanis.


Sorry my Friend.. We "unspeakingly" believe that we know better, think better, much smarter, more religious and more brave.. We care less for any social or behavioral or protocol or fashion trends if not ours.. We ignore and never try to understand why a husband and wife should walk shoulder to shoulder.. We have our choice of colors (sharp), Arabic tongue (non-understandable by native Arabs), destinations (always do prayers to the east) and definitions (Marxism doesn't violate Islam)..

We nomad-alike hide our ego and contradictions under thick layers of good village-manners and un-urban faithfulness.. When Urbanity stormed our lives in 1980th, an illiterate money broker married a lawyer-daughter of Chief Justice..!! When politics ruled, a proud Janjaweed Leader sold his daughter to Dibi of Chad for $24 mln.. Yet we claim manly, honorable and non-materialistic..

However, Malaysians and Sudanese behave alike, never tell the other what we truly think or feel; therefore we both are always decent, lovable and trustworthy.. yet hardly innovative or reliable for progressive accomplishments..!!!
We are resistant to integral and comprehensive change..
Sorry buddy; you had just triggered my heartache, and others' curses...!!


If Robert Fisk had described Lebanon as a Rolls Royce with "Square" tires.. Sudan is another with no tires..!!

Moonfleet Eldai Hahahaha uncle Adil, that heartache, not at all. I see that most of the folks from my generation and perhaps even including myself, we are not very nationalistic or particularly proud of Sudan at this time, but perhaps rather more fond of the times the elder generations are reminiscent of. Today the Sudanese diaspora is widely spread around, my inquisitive mind shows me patterns of behavior and value systems that are very distinct between inland and offshore Sudanese. That was striking when I was doing my studies, the folks coming from Sudan were kind of totally different than us in their approach to life and studies.

It will be great to see a comparative dialog/research done in Sudanese migration and integration world-wide.

If we don't tell the others what we truly think or feel that doesn't put us on the same wagon, remember, you have to utter it in order to be incriminated or exonerated, if it was kept within yourself that doesn't


Jehad Makhoul Despite all statistics Lebanon remains the most intriguing country in the whole of the middle east. With limited resources and huge differences among its people, Lebanese manage their way to dazzle worldwide! No other country in the whole world with such limited resources could have endured thirty five years of civil war, occupation by Palestinians, Syrians and Israelis and remained intact. With a barely equipped army and police force, limited financial resources and many differences, Lebanon stands and the Lebanese create their own opportunities and mostly excel! Yes it is intriguing.

Most of the people of my generation and the older, were simply noisy.. Big mouths and words rather than deeds.. Twisted concepts, imaginary patriotism, paradoxical practices and great schizophrenia.. The contradictions between our factual national chronicles and the idealistic national struggles, as given in historical and geopolitics tales..

Yet, my generation had managed to make bigger banners and appealing slogans, as if they had done and achieved the unthinkable; while they had done nothing in any decent analysis..!!

The development we had delivered were product of industrialization rather than planning.. The high ratings were resultant of humble demands, cheap resources, and non-stressfulness.. Regretfully, across the 3rd world (including Sudan and other Arabs) no fair assessment was made to critic the baseless claims of achievement..
By definition; Achievement is confrontation against seizure or stress.. We had got our independence by a signature of Nasser, not by our blood.. This is where our own patriotic history is fake and false.. yet, nice songs to repeat..!!

Both Generation Z and Millennia are not nationalistic by definition; while strive in their endeavor for quality and recognition to upgrade their nations are 1st intakes.. Patriotism has now different meaning and taste all together.. This is not Sudanese, but inevitably global..

I had called, and subsequentially abandoned political activism, for practical code of politics rather than demonstration and publications (which by definition trigger great enthusiasm by playing hide & seek with authorities).. Predicting the Diaspora to be the password for the future and the good governance..

Therefore, I fully feel, understand and endorse your words.. Good Luck

Moonfleet Eldai Your words put things in a excellent luminance.

The brilliance of Lebanese culture and people is notable, except for who are more affectionate with the Lebanese downtown-girls.. Maybe our shallow chronicles had only traced some few media and entertainment persons.. The great bloc of Lebanese pioneer technology, academics and management; with exceptional professionalism and efficiency..

Challenges of resources, war and politics had created a culture of opportunists, which had put the normal wrongdoings on loudspeakers.. Regional and global politics had turned the atmosphere into hatred and bigotry, deepening cult and sectarian differences and divides..

The Lantern of Levant lost most of its candles.. Yet; Lebanese are unique, with a distinct heritage of their own; which only became a bloody burden when affiliated to the others..!!

It was my dream to retire some where; overlooking the Lebanese Mediterranean..

21st October 2012


21st October 2012:
A myth of few that hinders true existence of our people..
A cocktail of strength and weakness of Arabs, Africans and Nilo’s..
A failed and false patronage for both unity and culture..
A controversial Nation on controversial Land, driven by controversial History..
A peaceful revolution; whereas No Peace in any true Revolution..!
An elevated spiral of Hypocrisies, Paradoxes and Favoritism..
A nurturer for our Don Quixote’s, Joe McCarthy’s and Amitabh Bachchan’s
October 2012, should be the last anaesthetizer of the Sudanese Public..!

Com’n Guys: Wake up it is 2012..!!

Certainly I disagree with the majority on celebrating October.. For more than 30 years, my stand stills the same.. It was not the event to build a nation, but to mark an intellectual dream..!

None of the reasons for the protest were mature enough to kick off true change.. Even so, the change was only on the surface, replacing a peaceful Junta with a bloody Assembly.. Across the 4,000 miles borders; the surrounding bloods and bullets had ignited the imagination of many Students, Leftists and Artists.. As correctly said: “Revolutions are Contagious.. but not necessarily Legitimate..”

An overwhelmingly overrated and overvalued event..!

Hysterically, we had rejected the Military, while comfortably paid blood-moneys for the Politicians.. Are we scene..?? If not mistaken: Abood executed no body, Naimiri executed less than 10, while post-Naimiri had poured blood in every household.. Yet, we still hysterically reject the Junta, despite we have no more.. Are we scene..??

Looking back after those decades, we still with no Identity, No Freedom, No Progress.. Adding to them; No secured Land, Losing respect worldwide and Occupying the bottom of any listing.. Sudanese Territories are declining from all borders; some had already gone, while others are on the way..!!

No facts are honored, no brains or substances, but the colorful flags of Al-Sayed, Al-Sadah, and outdated fictions.. Sudanese Academia lost its virginity, Bureaucracy lost its integrity and military lost its masculinity.. Subscribers to Cyber Media are nothing compared with unnumbered users of Super Bango..!!

October was a myth, and we pay for such a mistaken belief..!
Therefore, we are unable to change..!!

Taha on Sudan's MB..


 The people of Sudan will have to experience the rule of Muslim Brotherhood, which will eventually expose how their slogans are fake and unreal..
They will forcibly dominate economy and politics..
They will force the people for the times of bitterness..
They will ignite chaos and frauds, which will end up among themselves..
Only then they will be permanently uprooted..
Mahmoud Mohamed Taha

Sudan had experienced the Muslims Brotherhood since late 1979th..
Since then, we try to get rid of them, with no success..
No other Arab or Muslim knew or shared this epidemic; while they blindly march the same path..
Regretfully; It is a dark future for all..

Pity..!!

Rohingya, a Complex Story..


They have been persecuted and discriminated against for decades but few can even pronounce their name let alone know their plight. The UN describes them as one of the most persecuted minorities, yet the suffering of Myanmar's Rohingya population increases. So are the world's democracies ignoring their plight?


It is a complex story and heartbreaking developments..

All players, including the famous Aung San Suu Kyi; had closed eyes and ears on the atrocities, in a global gamble for trade and minerals..

History, Geography and Resources set the practical borders for both sensible understanding and effective intervention..

When Senior Politicians speak history and geography, it means opening the doors for doing nothing.. it means accepting Butchering, Cleansing and Forcible Migration..

It is more than Muslims are slaughtered, but the humanity at crossroads..!

Sudan 2012




This post synchronizes the planned protests (Friday; 6 July) across Sudanese cities, against AlBasheer regime.. It was precisely meant for this venue, and prior to any results or developments.. It addresses the protest from a remote point of view, which assesses both pros and cons in a static stat..!

So, why euphoria in Sudan did not reach the public boiling point..?

Despite how AlBasheer regime had various scandals, atrocities and suppressions; the public response is almost cooling down, with less appetite for revolt and change. Despite the heat-up exercised by various fictions, and enthusiastic youth, people do not leave their homes and workplaces to protest and bring the forcible changes, as done earlier in Sudan and elsewhere.. What is the missing chip in this puzzle..?

Among the regime and the opponents, there are many principle issues to note..

Certainly, Security Forces had proven smart enough to avoid any bloodshed and serious causalities or fatalities during the days of protest. Number of detainees is limited compared to campaigns and demographics. They had learned the lessons of Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, and accordingly set their response plans. On the contrary, opponents were confused by this lean responses, unable to change tactics (which was built on provoking security till they violently respond), or to elevate the public support (which is usually triggered by bilateral violence). Security was also successful to disconnect the protests, disenable any large streams to be formed, while no on-ground opposition coordination was effectively active..

Obviously, Political and Operational Leadership of protest had serious miscarriages, despite the fierce campaigns on social media (which is reachable for no more than 10,000 activists), or the international campaigns across the globe (which have serious creditability quest to the national public). Political parties, opponent fictions and rebel groups are short to develop any reliable leadership. Therefore, slogans are beyond the public demand, roadmaps are extremely eloquent and public mode is notably calm rather than excited. Using the repeated slogans of Arabic Spring shakes the foundations of the protest, as those were products of Muslims Brotherhood bloc, who already rules Sudan..!

International Support for political change in Sudan is shy rather than busy. Activists disagree on how fundamental the international role is, in order to materialize national political changes. Syrian chronicles prove the same, as well as Libyan, Yemeni and Bahraini. Sudanese activists (and many others) are obsessed with the Egyptian Drama (which was in fact well orchestrated scenarios; with various players, advisors and observers) aiming at its advocated political changes. The likelihood to repeat this drama is greatly doubtful; considering the amount of uncertainties it had created. However, despite the enthusiastic voices, the Sudanese Quest is much simpler, defined and regulated than the Egyptian one..

Finally; the Epistemic Structure of Sudanese Politics is still immature; despite 3 public revolutions, 4 political regimes and uncounted numbers of military coups. Certainly, the low Human Development Stat justifies uprooted attempts to created mature, democratic and coherent systems. On the contrary, Sudan is partitioned and expected to witness more serious divides, rather than building up any form of sociopolitical governance. Deterioration of identity, declining of probabilities and uncertainty of approaches had collectively created stat of anarchy that supports the current opportunitists, frustrates the change activists and exhausts any helping hands, and certainly bore the public..!

The City of 333 Saints


Al-Qaeda linked Islamists in northern Mali went on the rampage in Timbuktu
AFP - Saturday,

Destroying ancient tombs of Muslim saints just after UNESCO listed the fabled city as an endangered world heritage site.
The onslaught by armed militants from the fundamentalist Ansar Dine was launched amid the unrest in Mali's vast desert north that erupted in the chaotic aftermath of a March 22 coup in Bamako.

"They have raped Timbuktu today. It is a crime," said a source close to a local imam in Timbuktu, known as the "City of 333 Saints".

Witnesses told AFP the Islamists, holding parts of northern Mali, have so far destroyed three ancient shrines.
"The tombs of Sidi Mahmoud, Sidi Moctar and Alpha Moya in Timbuktu were destroyed Saturday by the Islamists... who are heading towards other tombs," said one witness, whose report was confirmed by the source close to the imam.
In addition to three historic mosques, Timbuktu is home to 16 cemeteries and mausoleums, according to the UNESCO website.
"This is tragic news for us all," Alissandra Cummins, chair of UNESCO's executive committee, said in a statement to AFP in Russia, where the body is meeting this week, describing the attacks as "wanton damage".
"I appeal to all those engaged in the conflict in Timbuktu to exercise their responsibility -- for the sake of future generations, spare the legacy of their past," she pleaded.
Ansar Dine, one of the armed Islamist groups which has seized control in northern Mali, has said no site would be safe in Timbuktu.
"Ansar Dine will today destroy every mausoleum in the city. All of them, without exception," spokesman Sanda Ould Boumama told AFP through an interpreter from the city.
The Ansar Dine spokesman suggested Saturday's action was in retaliation for the UNESCO decision on Thursday to put the World Heritage site, a cradle of Islamic learning founded in the fifth century, on its endangered list.
"God is unique. All of this is haram (or forbidden in Islam). We are all Muslims. UNESCO is what?" he said, declaring that Ansar Dine -- which wants to impose sharia law in the region -- was acting "in the name of God."
Witnesses in Timbuktu said the gangs had destroyed the mausoleum of a saint whose 15th century tomb was already desecrated in May by members of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM), another of the groups in control in the north.

The destruction in Mali is reminiscent of the Taliban blowing up the giant Buddhas of the Bamiyan valley in Afghanistan -- an ancient Buddhist and world heritage site on the Silk Road -- in March 2001 after branding them un-Islamic.

UNESCO said its decision to place both the town and the nearby Tomb of Askia in Gao on its List of World Heritage in Danger "aims to raise cooperation and support for the sites threatened by the armed conflict in the region."
Mali has been gripped by chaos since disgruntled troops swarmed the capital Bamako in the south in March and ousted the elected president of what had been seen as one of Africa's model democracies.
Islamist and tribal Tuareg groups seized on the power vacuum and pushed government forces out of northern Mali, an area the size of France and Belgium, including Timbuktu and the cities of Gao and Kidal.
Mali's neighbours in west Africa have held several crisis meetings on the situation.
But on Friday, another Islamist militant group in the lawless north, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), threatened any countries which join a military intervention force to end the crisis.
UNESCO, the world's main watchdog over protecting some of history's greatest treasures and most threatened cultural exhibits, first designated Timbuktu a heritage site in 1988.

Besides its monuments, the city houses nearly 100,000 ancient manuscripts, some dating back to the 12th century, preserved in family homes and private libraries under the care of religious scholars.

At its height in the 1500s, the city, a Niger River port at the edge of the Sahara 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) north of Bamako, was the key intersection for salt traders travelling from the north and gold traders from the south.

Sudan Spring


لست أود أن أكون مصدر احباط لمن تملؤهم الحماسة ، أو مغرداً خارج سرب اللامعقول بين الأعراب والمستعربين ، أو متشبساً بمفردات صار يسأم منها ولا يفهمها الكثيرين. لست من الجيل الذي مارس السياسة كفرض كفاية ، فعمل على اقتباس وسمنستر ، ورسم على مياة النيل أحلام مراهقة أو موأمرة سياسية ، والنتيجة سيل من الافتراضات القومية بشأن المهدية والاستقلال وأكتوبر والثروة والجنسية. أعترف بانتمائي الى من تخبطوا بين جدليات الفلسفات السياسية ومارسوا "الونسة السياسية" بدلاً من النضج الفكري. أعترف بانتمائي الى ذاك الجيل الذي فشل في ادارة المنافسة مع الجماعات الاسلامية أبان نشأتها ، ومن ثم يتحمل الوزر في ما آلت إليه الأحداث ، أعترف بأنني لا أقو على تغييب الفكر والعقل عند نقد الحال في السودان: بغير قيادة لا توجد إرادة أو قوة للتغيير. بغير وعي ، ذاك الذي يصعب حقنه في الشرايين الممتلئة حنقاً وغضباً ، لا يمكن الحديث حول نجاح حقيقي أو فشل حقيقي. لابد من الاقرار بعدم أهلية القوى السياسية والمظاهرات العفوية والمطالبات الشاعرية وعبثية القيادة الجماهيرية. حوا لم تعد والدة ، فتكاد أن تكون عاقراً بأيدينا نحن. وعازة تحولت من النوم الى الغيبوبة بفعلنا نحن ، ومهيرة اغتربت الى بلاد الفرنجة.. يجب تغيير تلك المسلمات التى عفا عليها الزمن ، وصارت ضرباً مؤلماً من ضروب وأد الذات.. يجب أن نلد ونعد قيادتنا الأكثر رشداً ووعياً ومقدرةً من بين هؤلاء من كادوا أن يسأموا العيش في السودان.. وفي المقابل ، فريق ممن باعوا الوطن والأهل والمستقبل بدراهم معدودات ، وتعلموا فنون الحكم والإلهاء والتغييب ، وربطوا أطرافهم مع دولاب عالمي لا ينقصه التمويل أو الجشع.. فبأي آلاء يمكن لبضعة مئات التغيير..!

Egypt on Cross Roads..


توقعاتي للانتخابات المصرية قبل اعلانها
ظهر الأحد سوف يعلن تقدم أحمد شفيق بحوالي 1% من الأصوات. لن يتصادم سياسيو الاسلام مع الآخرين ، بل سوف يألبون روافض نظام مبارك على الخروج على نحو كثيف. على أية حال ، خلال أسبوع سوف يعود الهدوء ، بينما تفتح دعاوى قضائية لاثارة الشغب والتزوير والتأمر. بالتوازي سوف يشتعل قطاع غزة على نحو غير مسبوق ، بينما تتدهور العملة والأسهم المصرية. سقوط الأخوان في مصر سوف يتبعه سقوطهم في كل مكان ، ولعل هذه هى المعادلة التي غفل عنها الكثيرين. الناطقون بالضاد لديهم سنة من الاضطراب.. للأسف


الثورة هي علم التغيير للأصلح ، وليس مجرد التغيير
ما يهم هو الفهم والادراك السليم ، وليس الاضطرابات والمظاهرات
الثورة ، كما هى الأخلاق والدين ، تبدأ بالنفس وداخل البيت ، وليس بالشارع

لا ثورة بدون قيادة وقائد ، وإلا أصبحت مثل بركان يفور لبعض الوقت ثم يخبو
وأخيراً ، السياسة تتناقض مع الأخلاق
 
الثورة هي علم ، مثلها مثل أي شئ أخر في الحياة ، هناك نماذج لحساب حركة الجماهير التي قد تبدو عشوائية ، لذا ، فليس كل من قال أدري ، فهو يدري ، ومثل هؤلاء في مصر وفي العالم العربي كثر ، ولذلك يتقلص الأمل في التغيير الحقيقي ، في عالم يتسابق نحو العلم والثروة والسلطة

لعل أول ما يحب عمله في مصر ، وكذا بين العرب ، إلغاء مهنة الصحافة ، وفرض الخدمة الوطنية ، وتدريس اللغة الانجليزية
  للأسف ، لا يوجد الكثير من الكتابات الجديرة بالثقة باللغة العربية ، شخصياً اتجنب استخدامها ، ليس فقط لتفادي المحسنات البلاغية ولكن أيضاً لتفادي الجدل العقيم

علمياً يصعب تصنيف ما يحدث في مصر كثورة ، فهي لم تفرز قيادة بعد 18 شهر من الاضطراب والعنف والترفيه الاعلامي ، وطالما ليست هناك قيادة ، فليست هناك أية برامج علمية أو أهداف حقيقية للوصول إليها
الأمر يمتد لكافة الانتفاضات العربية ، والتي يؤججها كثيرون ممن يدعون العلم وقطعان من أنصاف المتعلمين

Sudan Revolts..


Despite how many Sudanese people value themselves as more intellectual than their Egyptian neighbors, the chronicles prove how trends and phenomenon are created in Egypt, then migrate over time to Sudan.. It is very much like our mutual border trade, which comes in special currency value named the compensation for the High Dam damages, which many Sudanese call to open that file, while all Government were embarrassed to publicly admit that Sudan is already compensated..!

Since 1850th, Egypt had build and supported schools and one university, which in total enrollment represent 15% of our trinity education and 20% of the higher one.. AlBasheer Government had taken over the Egyptian institutions in dramatic and disgraceful manner.. Yet, the public had cheered the move.. Now, Egypt moves its education support and facilities towards South Sudan..

Egypt is the 1st trade partner for Sudan, with almost $175 million worth of exchange, in addition to informal border trading, smuggling and unpublished deals.. Egypt had already established an investment portfolio of $ one billion with South Sudan; which will certainly readdress the Jongli Canal project to generate more Nile waters, providing Egypt with more 8 million cm..

There are about 5 million Sudanese residents in Egypt, in a status neither refugee nor residence, benefiting from the Egyptian Patriarch policy towards Sudan.. More than 7 million Sudanese have ancestors, kinship's and relatives in Egypt.. Despite both countries were formally a political unit, exiling the Sudanese Revolts to Egypt had continued in bizarre contradicting sovereignty..

These unpopular facts had jumped into my mind when I wanted to comment on the fierce protests, violence and unrest in Sudan’s streets for the last five days.. We are just imitating the Egyptian happenings, on both government and opponents’ sides..!!

The only critical difference, which would defuse the whole enthusiastic revolt, is the nature of the government.. Since the Muslim Brotherhood had acquired Sudan in their enterprise since 1985, tactics of opponent political fictions did not change, nor realized how outdated they became.. Spearheading by students and pupils will not kneel down the government, but will sharpen and intensifying its crack down on protesters.. This is already happening..

Governments are swift learners when it comes to maintain law and order.. Worldwide, cooperation among security agencies has nothing to do with political competition or standoff.. Sudanese political Parties did not only proven barren to deliver leadership, but also false in structuring their own views and implementations.. This is the greatest betrayal  to the Sudanese Public, as ignoring growing leadership is far fatal to the public future and wellbeing than any atrocities..

Same; media propaganda, widespread facebook campaigns, extra-hot tweets among the youngsters, cursing and naming names, exaggerations of cyber news, stripping security personnel from citizenship, questioning loyalty of armed forces, hilarious debates of disqualified, everyone is a noisy commander, etc., are just few of the daily routines of Egypt..
All the noise significantly contradicts the visual documentations coming from a country of 32 million..!

Heating up the peoples' sentiments will develop nothing but a swift depression if no leader stands out to guide, units and cheers the commons..
So far no martyrs, or serious causalities..
So far, 70% of Revolution Indicators are still idle..!!

Again, we imitate the Egyptian chaos.. denouncing a regime without having any appropriate substitute in a world with no vacancy for the unfit..

Muslim Candidates


Across their endeavor to advise on political and government issues, the foreign political advisors (or mentors, collaborators, etc; as per your views) use intellectual tips to understand the sociopolitical dynamics in any country. Think-Tankers, Academics, Media Entrepreneurs and NGOs are data mining tools to enable correct analysis and adequate proposals. Apparently, most of them had gone wrong in predicting and understanding the 2010/2012 Muslims Uprisings.

Why..?

Three generations had shaped the local culture within today’s Muslim communities during the last 50 years. They were not that much different from their global rivals; apart from some critical elaborations and affiliations.

To start with; let’s define the main misalignment among Muslim, Latin, Buddhist and Dark peoples; (The author is a Black). These are political grouping rather than ethnic or religious ones, addressing the main domains. The following simple definitions will point respectively to political, economic and social classifications:
  • Muslim are mostly fanatic ruled by Dictators, in rural states and generally illiterate.
  • Latin are mostly pragmatic ruled by Democracies, in industrialized urban and generally literate.
  • Buddhist are mostly coded ruled by Politicians, in dense estates and generally illiterate.
  • Dark are mostly mythical ruled by Autocracies, in nomadic style and generally illiterate.
Certainly, both perceptions and expectations are products of confronting and meeting thresholds; namely; governance, habitat and social order. This triangle draws communication visions, protocols and channels. The same triangle defines individuals and their communities, their openness and protectiveness, and their ethical models and penal morals.

Now, it is almost clear why both perceptions and predictions differ among those human groups. Why commentators and analysts would go wrong despite academic and professional referrals. Why people can’t truly align despite identical slogans and clichés. Why terminology mysteriously vary between contents and results.

Going back to the generations of last 50 years; there are dramatic glitches in the Muslim epistemic structures, despite the influx of degree holders, passionate writers and outspoken advocates.
  • To defeat the Fantasies; most historical and folkloric legacies had to be scrutinized. 
  • To defeat the Autocracy; efforts are required to seed and grow dominating intellectualism.
  • To defeat the Ruralness; admission of improper social divides will create cohesive social reconciliation.
  • To defeat the Illiteracy; religious education has to be revolutionized rather than fought.
In complacent life styles, an adult generation had witnessed and fueled the political transformations during 1950th and 1960th. Their children had grown, driven by both epistemic mutiny and wishful expectations of peoples’ powers in 1970th and 1980th. Their 2010th Millennia grandchildren had amazing technology tools and opportunistic approaches, simplified in the famous slogan: Go-Get.

So far, this no different from the happenings across the globe; yet results are not the same: media anarchy, political irrationalism and social fantasies.

Why..?

Commentators had united in defining the three generations, but they disconnected them from their epistemic referrals. Therefore; Muslim’s secular elites had failed:
  • Despite London riot-alike, they included literates who could not defy their inherited Fantasies.
  • Despite Moscow campaigns-alike, they ridiculously confused Autocracy with Statesmanship.
  • Despite Paris unrest-alike, they could not establish a debate on social reconciliation and reform.
  • Despite Wall Street protest-alike, they could not develop vision or code for advocacy..!
Therefore, majority of Gazans, Tunisian, Moroccan, Egyptian voters had casted for the Muslim Candidates; and will continue to do so..!

People are not choosing the religious slogans, but they are hesitant and uncertain to choose otherwise. In the back of their minds, religion is deep rooted, with lots of confusing Fatwa’s and precautions. It is easy to stimulate the religious subconscious rather than the literate conscious. A historical formula most politicians had failed to deal with, leading to all calls for Secular States.

Simply, this is an urban dialogue; while most Muslims live in villages and slums



عبر سعيهم لتقديم المشورة بشأن القضايا السياسية والحكومة ، فان المستشارين السياسيين الأجانب (أو الموجهين ، أو المتعاونين ، وما إلى ذلك ؛ حسب وجهات نظركم) يستخدمون النصائح الفكرية لفهم الديناميات الاجتماعية والسياسية في أي بلد. يشمل ذك معاهد الفكر والأكاديميين ورجال الأعمال ووسائل الإعلام والمنظمات غير الحكومية ، فهي أدوات للتنقيب في البيانات وللتمكين من التحليل الصحيح والمقترحات المناسبة. على ما يبدو ، لقد كان معظمهم يعاني من اختلال التوقعات والفهم لانتفاضات المسلمون في 2010/2012

لماذا ..؟

خلال السنوات ال 50 الماضية ، كان هناك ثلاثة أجيال قد شكلت الثقافة المحلية في المجتمعات المسلمة اليوم. وبصرف النظر عن بعض التوضيحات والانتماءات الهامة ، فهي ليست مختلفة كثيرا من مثيلاتها على الصعيد العالمي
لكي نبدأ ، دعونا نحدد الاختلال الرئيسي بين شعوب المسلمين واللاتين والبوذيين والزنوج ، والكاتب يِعد من الزنوج ، وهذه هي تعاريف سياسية وليست عرقية أو دينية ، وتتعلق بالسمات الرئيسية. وعلى التوالي ، فان التعاريف التالية بسيطة وتشير إلى التصنيفات السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية

المسلمون معظمهم متعصبون ويحكمون من قبل طغاة ، وغالبيتهم ريفيين وأميين

اللاتين معظمهم واقعيون وتحكمهم ديمقراطيات ، وغالبيتهم في المدن الصناعية ويجيدون القراءة والكتابة

البوذيون معظمهم يؤمنون بالمواثيق الاجتماعية ويحكمهم سياسيون ، وغالبيتهم يعانون من الزحام والأمية

الزنوج معظمهم أسطوريون يخضعون لأنظمة استبدادية ، وغالبيتهم من الرحل الأميين


 
بالتأكيد ، وعلى حد سواء ، فان كافة التصورات والتوقعات تتفق وتلبية الحدود الدنيا ، وتحديداً الحوكمة ، والموئل ، والنظام الاجتماعي. هذا المثلث يرسم الاتصالات بين الرؤى والبروتوكولات والقنوات. وكما أن المثلث يُعرف الأفراد ومجتمعاتهم ، فانه يصنَف الانفتاح والحمائية ، والنماذج الأخلاقية ، والآداب العامة الجزائية

الآن ، من الواضح تقريباً ، لماذا كل التصورات والتوقعات تختلف بين تلك الجماعات البشرية. لماذا يخفق المعلقين والمحللين على الرغم من المساهمات الأكاديمية والمهنية. لماذا لا يستطيع الناس حقاً ، وعلى الرغم من تماثل الشعارات والكليشيهات. لماذا تختلف المصطلحات على نحو غامض بين المحتويات والنتائج

عوداً إلى أجيال السنوات الـ 50 الماضية ، حيث هناك اخطاء كبيرة في البنى المعرفية للمسلمين ، وعلى الرغم من تدفق حاملي الشهادات ، والكتاب ذوي العاطفة ، والدعاة ذوي الصراحة

لهزيمة التخيلات ؛ لا بد من تمحيص معظم الموروثات التاريخية والفولكلورية

للتغلب على الحكم المطلق ، فمن الضروري بذل الجهود لوضع بذور نمو الهيمنة العقلانية

لهزيمة الريفًية ، يجب الاعتراف بعدم لياقة النظام اجتماعي ، مما يؤدي الى خلق مصالحة اجتماعية أكثر تماسكاً

للتغلب على الأمية ، لابد من تثوير التعليم الديني بدلا من محاربته



في أنماط الحياة المفعمة بالرضا عن الذات ، فان جيل الكبار قد شهد التحولات السياسية خلال 1950 و 1960. وقد نما أطفالهم ، يقودهم تمرد المعرفي وتوقعات تبشر بقوى الشعوب خلال 1970 و 1980. ومن ثمَ أحفادهم ، جيل الميلينيا 2010 ، الذي تمتع بأدوات تكنولوجية مذهلة ومناهج الانتهازية ، مبسطة في الشعار الشهير: أذهب لتحصل عليه

حتى الآن ، وهذا لا يختلف عن ما يحدث في جميع أنحاء العالم ، رغم ان النتائج لم تكن هي نفسها: فوضى وسائل الإعلام ، اللاعقلانية السياسية ، والمتخيلات الاجتماعية

لماذا ..؟

فلقد كان المعلقون متحدون في تعريف الأجيال الثلاثة ، ولكنهم قطعوا الصلات المعرفية. لذلك ، ولو أن النخب العلمانية المسلمة قد فشلت

على الرغم من استنساخ الشغب في لندن ، فلم يتمكن المتعلمين من تحدي المتخيلات المورثة

على الرغم من استنساخ الحملات في موسكو ، فقد تم الخلط بين الاستبداد والحنكة على نحو ساخر

على الرغم من استنساخ الاضطرابات في باريس ، لم يتمكنوا من مناقشة المصالحة الاجتماعية والإصلاح

على الرغم من استنساخ احتجاجات وول ستريت ، لم يتمكنوا من وضع رؤية أو أطر للتغيير



لذلك ، غالبية الناخبون من سكان قطاع غزة ، والتونسيون والمغاربة والمصريون ، قد اختاروا المرشحين المسلمون ، وسيواصلوا القيام بذلك مرات عديدة

الناس لم يختاروا الشعارات الدينية ، ولكنهم مترددون وغير متأكدين لاختيار غير ذلك. في عقولهم الباطنة ، فان الدين عميق الجذور ، ومع الكثير من الخلط في الفتوى والاحترازيات ، فمن السهل أن تحفز العقل الباطن الديني بدلاً من العقل الواعي. هذه هى المعادلة التاريخية التي فشل معظم السياسيين في التعامل معها ، مما أدى إلى كافة الدعوات العلمانية

ببساطة ، وهذا هو حوار حضري ، في حين أن معظم المسلمين يعيشون في القرى أوالمخيمات
