Arab Spring in Sudan?

Old Dog, Old Trick: US, Saudis, Qatar Attempt "Arab Spring" Retread in Sudan

Protests are smokescreen for unfolding US-Saudi-Qatari backed violence seeking regime change in Sudan.

September 28, 2013 (Tony Cartalucci) - The Associated Press reveals that recent and ongoing "Arab Spring-style" unrest in Sudan's capital of Khartoum is led by Sudan's Western-backed opposition, the National Umma Party, and the various faux-NGO's and "independent media" organizations created by the West to prop it up. This reveals yet another Western-engineered uprising designed for regime change in favor of a new, Western friendly client regime.

The AP article, "Sudanese protesters demand the regime's ouster," first claims:
Activists acknowledge they have no unified leadership or support from political parties but express hope the spontaneous nature of the current round of protests means they're gaining momentum. However, AP then admits [emphasis added]:
One of Sudan's most prominent opposition leaders, Sadiq al-Mahdi of the National Umma Party, told worshippers at a mosque in the district of Omdurman that al-Bashir has been spending the state's budget on "consolidating power" and failed "to lift the agony off the citizens' shoulders."

After the sermon, protesters marched through the district, a longtime opposition stronghold, chanting "the people want the downfall of the regime," the slogan heard in Arab Spring uprisings that began in late 2010 and have led to the ouster of the leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Clearly, the "activists" indeed have a leader - Sadiq al-Mahdi of the National Umma Party who was literally leading the protesters out into the streets. And while comparisons to the "Arab Spring" invokes images of peaceful "pro-democracy" protests - AP admits that the protesters are already turning to violence:
Angry protesters torched police and dozens of gas stations and government buildings, and students marched chanting for al-Bashir's ouster. AP, perhaps hoping readers would not bother researching the matter further, also quotes "local blogger and journalist Reem Shawka" to bolster their narrative. Shawka is a columnist at Sudan's 500 Words Magazine. While 500 Words maintains that it is "a Sudanese independent online magazine," it proudly advertises in the right column of its website an upcoming US Institute of Peace "Sudanese and South Sudanese Youth Leaders Program." Like Thailand's deceitful US-funded propaganda front Prachatai, 500 Words is most likely directly funded by the US government, and is most certainly in tune with the US State Department's agenda and talking points regarding Sudan.

....

Indeed 500 Words' editor-in-chief, Moez Ali, has his own page on "Open Democracy" - funded by convicted criminal George Soros' Open Society Institute, the Oak Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, TIDES, and many others.

It should be mentioned that the US Institute of Peace - advertised for on 500 Words - has played an instrumental role in the Western-engineered "Arab Spring," where it literally crafts the constitutions and structure of proxy regimes the West plans to create once targeted nations have been overthrown.

Who is Opposition Leader Sadiq al-Mahdi?


Sadiq al-Mahdi, leader of Sudan's National Umma Party, is a member of the EU-US-Saudi-Qatari run Arab Democracy Foundation and the Club de Madrid which features former US President Bill Clinton as a "full member" amongst many others, and is backed by Wall Street and London's myriad of "international institutions" and foundations including the World Bank, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, Walmart, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Microsoft, and many others.

Al-Mahdi himself was Oxford educated, according to his official Club de Madrid biography, which also states [emphasis added]:
Al-Mahdi was elected president of the Umma party in November 1964, and led a campaign to promote political activity, develop political Islam, and reform the party by expanding its base and promoting democracy behavior. Despite his efforts towards a democratic government, there was another coup d´état in 1969 that led to a dictatorship referred to as the May Regime.

He was soon arrested by the military government, exiled to Egypt, and detained in Sudanese prisons repeatedly until 1974. Later that year, he traveled abroad and toured Arab and African Capitals where he delivered a number of lectures. While in exile, he formed the National Democratic Front (NDF), comprised of Umma, the Democratic Unionist Party, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Through his efforts, the NDF was able to make an accord of national reconciliation in 1977 with the May Regime that mandated democratic reform.
His direct association with the Muslim Brotherhood is important, as this is the organization that as far back as 2007, under then US President George Bush, began receiving US-Saudi-Israeli support to prepare the violent overthrow of several nations, including in particular, Syria. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his 2007 New Yorker article, "The Redireciton: Is the Administration’s new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism?" would reveal US-Saudi-Israeli support behind funding and arming the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria:

"the Saudi government, with Washington’s approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria. The Israelis believe that putting such pressure on the Assad government will make it more conciliatory and open to negotiations." Hersh also reported that a supporter of the Lebanese pro-US-Saudi Hariri faction had met dikk Cheney in Washington and relayed personally the importance of using the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria in any move against the ruling government:

"[Walid] Jumblatt then told me that he had met with Vice-President Cheney in Washington last fall to discuss, among other issues, the possibility of undermining Assad. He and his colleagues advised Cheney that, if the United States does try to move against Syria, members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood would be “the ones to talk to,” Jumblatt said." The article would continue by explaining how already in 2007 US and Saudi backing had begun benefiting the Brotherhood:

"There is evidence that the Administration’s redirection strategy has already benefitted the Brotherhood. The Syrian National Salvation Front is a coalition of opposition groups whose principal members are a faction led by Abdul Halim Khaddam, a former Syrian Vice-President who defected in 2005, and the Brotherhood. A former high-ranking C.I.A. officer told me, “The Americans have provided both political and financial support. The Saudis are taking the lead with financial support, but there is American involvement.” He said that Khaddam, who now lives in Paris, was getting money from Saudi Arabia, with the knowledge of the White House. (In 2005, a delegation of the Front’s members met with officials from the National Security Council, according to press reports.) A former White House official told me that the Saudis had provided members of the Front with travel documents." That al-Mahdi, whose coalition included the Muslim Brotherhood that's played an instrumental role executing recent Western designs in Syria and Egypt, and whose uprising and calls for faux-reform is echoed by the likes of Sudanese extremist leader Hassan al-Turabi (who had in fact invited Osama Bin Laden to Sudan), is now leading protesters through the streets of Sudan's capital, torching infrastructure, government buildings, and police stations (just as was done across Egypt and Syria), indicates another attempt by the West to overthrow the Sudanese government via proxy militancy.

That the West has once again "coincidentally" arrayed its vast resources behind al-Mahdi's "revolution," which includes Al Qaeda-linked leaders like al-Turabi, once again illustrates that so-called "Islamic" extremism is a geopolitical tool both created and intentionally perpetuated by the West, both as a pretext for direct military invasion and occupation (Mali, Afghanistan) and as an inexhaustible proxy mercenary force for overthrowing targeted nations (Libya, Egypt, Syria).

What to Watch For

Sudan shares borders with NATO-overthrown Libya, destabilized Egypt, and US military proxy Ethiopia. It is also across the Red Sea from Saudi Arabia itself. Both Libya and Egypt have sizable US-Saudi-Israeli-Qatari-backed terrorist organizations and their affiliated political arms - the Muslim Brotherhood being the most prominent. Sudan is a potential tinderbox made more volatile in recent years due to the Muslim Brotherhood's US-Saudi-Qatari-Israeli enabled rise, along with the Western-backed terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda, that form it's armed factions.

The West's interest in Sudan is not causal or spontaneous. It was listed as one of several nations the US had intended to violently overthrow and subjugate as a client regime since at least 2001, revealed in a speech given by US Army General Wesley Clark in 2007.


With a recent terrorist attack by US armed and backed Al Qaeda in Nairobi Kenya threatening to justify new joint African Union-US AFRICOM incursions into Somalia, and destabilizations ongoing in both Egypt and to a much greater extent in Syria, the words of General Wesley Clark are both prophetic and indicative of the true nature of both the so-called "Arab Spring" and the attempted violent regime changes being organized behind the smokescreen of "pro-democracy protesters."

While Sudan may not seem to have significance to most across the West, the geopolitical implications of an entire region from Mali to Pakistan under Western destabilization directly impacts oil, logistics, and stability across the globe. Nations like China which relies on African and Middle Eastern trade, are directly impacted by US attempts to destabilize and overthrow Sudan - and is in fact one of the driving motivations of the West's so-called "Arab Spring."

Following the "Arab Spring" playbook, we should expect attempts to justify the increased militarization of the so-called "opposition," who will at first be portrayed as "pro-democracy" moderates forced to "defend themselves," but will be fully revealed as Al Qaeda as full-scale proxy military operations get underway. The only way to avert a destructive military conflict is for the Sudanese government to swiftly and severely crush the opposition and secure the borders where NATO-backed militants and their equipment are most likely to flow.

Sudan's government must also make real attempts at reform, while exposing the foreign-backed nature of opposition leaders trying to divide and destroy the nation. By breaking the predictable "evil dictator" mold Sudan's leadership has been cast in by the Western media, it, and other nations targeted by Western regime change can even the odds leveled against them by the still formidable Western press and their partners in propaganda across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel.

Unprecedented amounts of resources have been committed to the geopolitical reordering of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. It would be a considerable mistake for any nation overtly listed by the US as "pending regime change" to underestimate any beginnings of unrest clearly backed by foreign interests. While some operations may be "testing the waters," the final push can come at any time with fully militarized proxies pre-positioned and prepared to sow the same genocidal destruction US-backed terrorists in Syria are carrying out.​

[Ritzy Sharon]

you know, the theory that the US-Saud-Qatar-Israel quartet from hell has (so far) successfully hijacked the tsunami of anger, dissatisfaction and revolt across the region is one I personally subscribe to.... but I have to say breh, there's something deeply racist/orientalist about these Arab Uprising "Truthers" that allege Arabs are some mindless, unevolved, half-beasts that prefer to live under the heel of these crooked kings and corrupt generals, that they would never fight for freedom, justice and liberty since they are alien concepts that clash with their unwavering, irrational and extreme religiosity.

Is there a more pathetic African country than Sudan? Black ass nikka running around pretending to be arabs. I'd love to hear the convos the Arabs have behind their backs. They prolly laughing they ass off at these c00ns.

 

[godkiller]

The Arabs colonized North Sudan.

Many of the Sudanese in the North are in fact mixed with Arab. They live right underneath Egypt and the more southern you go in Egypt, the darker the people become (ie. intermixing). Then in South Sudan the people become black and Nubian-like. The Northern Sudanese identify with Arabs and are responsible for genocides against the black population. But you are right the Arabs look down on them. Arabs look down on anyone affiliated with black.

Well, there was a lot of mixing cause clans from the Arabian peninsula crossed the Red Sea for centuries and married from local clans along the Nile.

Its not as simple as saying these nikkas are just flaunting to be Arabs. Being Arab isn't about skin color. There's dark skinned people in Yemen and Yemen is where the original Arabs come from. Plus, being Arab means more to do with linguistics i.e. speaking the language... and there's distinctive dialects in each region. Plus, Sudanese may be Arab but they identify themselves as belonging to the African continent. If you say to them that they are transplants from elsewhere they will get PO'd.

Arabs are a Eurasian population. Berbers are truly North African but we're not talkinga bout them. It's not clear Arabs hail from Yemen. Not all Sudanese are Arab. Some are mixed with Arab while others clearly aren't. You say that the Sudanese identify as black but clearly this is not true in some cases. Some Sudanese identify as Arab or as proto-Arab. These peoples are accused of crimes against the black population of Sudan and they receive material support from the Arabs themselves.

I spoke to a Southern Sudanese guy at my college a few weeks ago and he spelled it out. He said the reason the Sudanese President is who he is, is because the Egyptians colonized parts of Sudan and favor certain populations over others.

The South Sudan stuff is true. The British also fukked that shyt up too. However, I know plenty of Sudanese here in the DMV and they will proudly say they are Africans and are Arab. They also will say they are black too. I rarely have met Sudanese who are on that pedestal where they think they are some light skin Arab when they're blacker than the nikka on the block. I've met a couple girls who were really light skin and didn't have features of a typical Sudanese but more so someone from the Gulf or Sham. But those are very rare to find.

But Arabs are not really an ethnic group. And the original Arabs do come from Yemen and Yemeni have many that are darker than dudes in Sham (Syria, Lebanon), Iraq..

Arab identity is fluid for many people. I speak Arabic. A lot of my Arab friends sincerely believe I am Arab and that Somalis are Arab
I go along with it most of the time, but I enjoy messing with them. Whenever something happens in the news or something negative is done by Arabs, I shake my head and refer to "You Arabs"... they get annoyed and ask me "arent you arab as well, why insult yourself?"

I answer as if insulted, and tell them how dare you call me Arab??
I am a Somali, the most homogenuous people on the African continent... we have our own language and culture. I act all upset and pissed off.

Leaves them shocked and confused..quite entertaining really..
