Suspension of Jeddah Platform.. Absence of curriculum or will
Moatinoon - Al-Asmai Bashari
It is not the first time that Jeddah platform negotiations have been suspended; Between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, sponsored by Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, and with the participation of the African Union and the Governments IGAD. It has been suspended more than once since its inception last June with the aim of a ceasefire between the parties and entering humanitarian assistance as a preliminary phase before entering into a political process that ends the war and restores democratic civilian transformation.
In media leaks, carried by Arab agencies, it noted that negotiations had been hampered by a lack of agreement on certain items and the same items for which the Platform had previously been suspended, RSF exit from citizens homes and civilian objects and military redeployment and build-ups prior to 15 April, as requested by the Sudanese army delegation in return for the arrest of former regime elements fleeing prisons, Those who triggered the outbreak of war, according to the RSF delegations vision.
It seems that both parties lack the sensitivity of negotiation, and are deprived of any will that enables them to move forward to stop their absurd war, on the one hand, and on the other, mediation has not been able to provide a negotiating approach that accommodates the history of the warring parties, since the outbreak of the December Revolution in 2018.
Saudi media sources attributed the subsequent suspension of talks between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) owing to rapid support for the arrest of 27 wanted members of international and domestic justice for confidence-building measures in the current round. Adding that the army delegation, which agreed to arrest those wanted, later retracted the collapse of the talks amid the other sides adherence to the arrest of those wanted as an essential measure to continue to build confidence and reach a ceasefire agreement.
Political analysts were likely that the army delegation reversed its approval due to pressure exerted by the leaders of the al-Bashir regime on army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, withdrawing from fighting alongside him in the war if the Jeddah talks continued, pointing out that al-Burhan had issued a different letter in the city of Wade Madani (Sunday) About his predecessor in the city of Al-Qadarif by hours demonstrates intense pressure from Islamists refusing to stop the war and continue in the Jeddah talks.
For his part, the writer and political analyst, Alaa Mahmoud, said that the suspension of the Jeddah Platform was one heading, "Lack of will", whether by the military or support, both went to these negotiations in response to the desire of the community of nations, not to the desire of the people to stop the war, or to the accuracy of the desire of citizens in the affected areas, whether in Khartoum or Darfur, according to (citizens). The international community itself was creating negotiating platforms for war-affected countries because that was one of its duties, and it also had no real impetus in bringing the war to an absolute halt; But in his interests, he says, "It is an ambiguous reality that threatens the continuation of war, perhaps, for a long time, especially since there are no purely genuine civil efforts to stop war except for some truly biased civilian groupings of rapid support, and therefore their efforts are in the direction of supporting war despite the slogans" No to War ".
Mahmoud pointed out that the reality in Jeddahs negotiation, while important, would not lead in its final outcome to a genuine peace or cessation of war, and the negotiations might lead to a long truce, after which the war would inevitably break out because the negotiation of Jeddah would retain the perpetrators of the war, thereby preserving the same conditions that led to its outbreak. He considers that the real way out lies in the formation of a genuine, unbiased, broad front, which works to stop the war while at the same time continuing revolutionary work.
Saudi-American mediation appears to have concluded that the leaders of al-Bashirs regime will not allow the military to reach an agreement or stop the war. The warring parties cooperated in breaking up the general leaderships sit-in, in the most heinous human massacre, and subsequently participated in putting obstacles in the way of any development in the direction of a democratic civil transition, the latest of which was their agreement to cut off once and for all the Sudanese revolution with a bloody coup d état, for which they killed more than 120 young men and women.
They were the two parties that fought against the signing of the security and military reform workshop, within the requirements of the framework agreement, and pointed their guns at the people in Khartoum, Kordofan and Darfur, killing more than 10 thousands of civilians according to statistics from international organizations, displacing millions inside and outside the Sudan.
The suspension of negotiation, based on past experience, means further fighting and violation of civilians right to services by criminal laws, and the extension of war.
