Rhino: Khartoum –  Political activist Alnoor Hamad has fired fiery statements about Sudan’s post-independence era, describing it as a “black era” characterized by injustice, failure, political clowning, and continuous decline in everything.

Hamad warned of the potential for eras of failure to persist for long periods in the lives of peoples, emphasizing that they eventually collide with a wall of rejection that brings them to an end.

Hamad predicted that war may be the passage that leads peoples who have lost their compass to the desired state of recovery, pointing out that this war is the bitter labor pains of the birth of a new nation different from the one we have known since independence.

Hamad stressed the need for the military and political elites who managed the post-independence era to acknowledge their responsibility for the failure, emphasizing that this is the only way to shorten the painful labor that Sudan is experiencing.

In another context, Hamad considered this war to be the last bullet in the quiver of the Islamic movement and its officers, who have become business tycoons, in keeping power in their hands.

Hamad described the army as no longer an army, but rather a partisan militia controlled by Islamists, the majority of whom are extremists, emphasizing that they do not use rationality in their calculations as professional military leaders do, but rather mix military work with expected divine support.

Hamad’s statements come amid widespread popular protests against the transitional government and growing demands for radical change in the political system.
