Sudanese express their farewell to Bashir

On 25th January 2010, news agencies reported that a Sudanese unknown man has thrown his shoe at al Bashir, the president of Sudan

One of the most offensive and humiliated action in the Arabs and Muslim culture is to throw a shoe at someone, let alone that some one is a head of the country.

It was expected that “SUNA”, the Sudan official state news agency would announce the man as a mentally-ill.

This act, which is first of its kind in the history of Sudan, stresses several facts;

Khartoum regime has managed to plant couture of violence, disrespect and distrust among Sudanese. Long time ago political observers warns from the social and cultural consequences of Bashir political policies and its socio-economical attributes.

Fatima Ahmed Ibrahim, a Sudanese female politician has warned in a conference during the 90s in London about the spells of the regime attitude on the Sudanese society.

The wide spread corruption among the ruling elites and the escalating poverty lines have helped creating a sense of desperation among ordinary Sudanese coupled with clearly noticed withdrawal of ethics and morals.

Bashir used the religion to motivate Sudanese and organise Jihad groups planting a culture of hate towards non Muslims and non Arabs. This act very soon starts showing in the Sudanese communities by the records of attacks, abductions and killing of artists, journalists and politicians. All this has happened in the name of creating an Islamic society.

Many Muslim Scholars and institution starts distancing themselves from Bashir policies and some of them even criticised him publicly for using the Islamic fatwa to explain and promote some of the regime’s policies.

The regime in Sudan is now harvesting its plants and many observers fear that the upcoming elections shall bring wide spread violence if not wars.

By throwing his shoe at the head of the state that unknown man has expressed the mode of the ordinary Sudanese people.

It is about time that the Sudanese politicians and especially the Southern Sudan leader’s starts to move and form a collation with the rest of the opposition and with the help of the international community to force a fare and corruption free elections.

The repeated failure of the traditional parties since the independence of Sudan, has led the ordinary Sudanese to believe that the only hope lies in the coming movements of the Southern Sudan leaders.

Khartoum is pushing towards the independence of the South, so they can create their terror state. The geographic location of the North of Sudan makes it possible hot spot and source for troubles not only within the African horn but the whole of the Middle East.

It would, if they managed to create such a state, be a home for the international terror and the incidents of Sudan during the early 90s shall repeat itself in even a wider, bigger and more violent scale.

Many other factors help the plans of Khartoum of which is the involvement of China as a major investor in not only Sudan but most of Africa, which opens the doors widely for deals with other international powers. The loser at the end is the ordinary Sudanese
