After obstructing all efforts of civilian democratic transition in Sudan and igniting the April 15 war, the movement in Sudan is working these days on an escalation of another kind in the direction of blocking attempts to stop the war and dragging the country into dangerous divisions. The so-called “Broad Islamic Movement” has reinvented itself, choosing Ali Karti, the secretary general of the Islamic Movement organization, as its president.
Components and bodies:
The Islamic Movement consists of the Islamic Movement, the Just Peace Platform, the Reform Now Movement, two factions of the Muslim Brotherhood, the State of Law and Development Party, the National Justice Alliance, the Renaissance Movement, and the Row Unity Initiative.
The choice of Karti indicates a split within the Islamic Movement organization, especially between the wing led by Karti and the wing led by Ibrahim Ghandour and a number of his allies with links to the dissolved National Congress Party, a group that is trying to save the Brotherhood from the predicament of the war, while Karti is leading the current opposing the cessation of the war.
Conflict of currents:
Perhaps the miscalculations to ignite the war and the unexpected results that faced the Islamic movement as it fought the war of power made the divisions surface, and the Islamic movement dispersed into groups, despite their presence in the war scene as a single bloc working to mobilize and mobilize, but in fact they are not on one heart, fighting among themselves whenever they feel the danger approaching their interests, including the most extreme of these groups led by Ali Karti, former foreign minister during the rule of “Al-Bashir”, who represents the group that controls the army leadership and puts obstacles to it in front of any of its interests.
Karti’s group is described as representing the security and military current within the Islamists, and has remained influential in the governing apparatus throughout the 33 years of their rule in Sudan.
Karti’s group is described as representing the security and military current within the Islamists, and has remained influential in the governing apparatus throughout the 33 years of their rule over Sudan, and its voice has been the loudest.
Another group led by National Congress leader Ibrahim Ghandour is the group that seeks a way out of the war after the Islamic movement lost a number of its leaders and money, and even lost control over more than 70% of Sudanese territory. Ghandour had talked about stopping the war in a moderate speech in which he focused on the need to search for the roots of the issue, and called for an investigation by a national committee to find out how the war started, who was the initiator and what are its causes? He emphasized in a tweet on X website, saying: “In the history of Sudan, there are many ways to stop wars and fighting, but we must solve the issue from its roots, and in this context I am talking to everyone.” He continued: “No to war if it has not occurred, but it has occurred and there is an obligatory defense, the war must be stopped, but it must be stopped, and there are “ten lines” under it, so that all the reasons for its outbreak no longer exist.”
The third group is led by Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, a leader in the Islamic Movement, supported by Abdullah Idris, a leader in the Popular Security Forces. According to SBC’s information, the group receives political, financial and media support from a group of Islamic leaders in Turkey.
Radicalization of the Islamist movement:
Mohamed al-Amin Abdelnabi, a leader in the Umma Party, believes that the choice of Karti to head the Broad Islamic Movement is a routine and normal step within the framework of the process of rotation and exchange of roles between the components of the movement. However, Karti’s presidency in this session will make the movement more radical and will bring it more discontent and isolation and will increase the intensity of polarization between the Islamic movement and the National Congress, especially since the broad Islamic movement presented itself at the expense of the National Congress after the October 25 coup as an incubator and political backing for the coup in an attempt to counter-revolution, after which the Islamic movement and the broad Islamic current adopted solid force, engaging in the war and working to continue it, influencing the army and its decisions in the war and refusing any negotiation, harnessing the media machine to support the war, and leading political and diplomatic work in the war. war predicament:
In a statement to Rhino, Abdelnabi points out that Ali Karti’s presidency will inevitably have new roles on behalf of the Islamic Movement and influence the course of the war, and in calculations of profit and loss, the broad Islamic Movement will lose with this step by implicating the movement more in the war, totalitarianism, violence and excess, and will highlight the contradictions within the movement because it is still in the process of coordination.
According to Muhammad al-Amin Abdelnabi, the conflict within the Islamist movement has become open, and these differences will abort all attempts by moderate Islamists to reform.
“Instead of evaluating the experience and offering deep intellectual and political reviews that make the Islamic Movement part of peace, stop the war, open up to civilian forces and contribute to national construction, we find it premeditatedly choosing the wrong path and repeating its old method of supporting coups, wars, totalitarianism and dividing the country, which will bring more destruction and devastation to the country.
Ambiguous alliance:
For his part, journalist and political analyst “Al-Jameel Al-Fadil” says that Ali Karti’s presidency of the mysterious alliance, called the “Broad Islamic Current”, which was headed before the war by the ISIS leader “Mohammed Ali Al-Jazouli”, raises many questions about the breadth of this alliance, and whether its membership is limited to Sudanese components, not crossing borders.
“Al-Fadil” adds that the presidency of ‘Al-Jazouli’, the Sudanese leader who pledged allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State ‘Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’, could cast doubts about the nature of this alliance and the type of its components, and the importance and significance of combining the Secretary General of the Islamic Movement ‘Karti’, between the presidency of the ‘broad Islamic current’ and his leadership of the Islamic Movement at this dangerous historical juncture, which the country is going through in a war, disasters and intertwined and overlapping crises.
The fact that Karti, who is believed to be the one actually managing the current war, is holding the reins of the coalition at this time gives the impression that this development will reflect in one way or another on the pace and nature of the war itself, as the war that has been imposed on the Sudanese seems to have united the Islamists by choice or by necessity.
