00:02:42the most prominent, important, and latest security,
00:02:46political, and military developments related to Sudan, internally
00:02:49and externally. Welcome, and welcome to today's guest, Dr.
00:02:52Mohamed Youssef Ibrahim, academic and political analyst.
00:02:56Welcome, Dr., and good morning to you. Welcome, Professor Mayar.
00:03:00Good morning to you and the esteemed viewers. I am very happy
00:03:04with this hosting. In our first file, the head of the Sovereign
00:03:07Council receives the credentials of the ambassadors of Turkey,
00:03:10Egypt, Belarus, and Burundi.
00:03:13The head of the Transitional Sovereign Council, the Commander-in-Chief
00:03:17of the Armed Forces, General Abdel Fattah
00:03:20Al-Burhan, received yesterday at the Republican Palace
00:03:23the credentials of the ambassadors of Turkey, Egypt, Belarus, and Burundi,
00:03:27in the presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation,
00:03:30Ambassador Mohamedin Salem. Al-Burhan welcomed
00:03:33the new ambassadors, emphasizing Sudan's commitment
00:03:36to developing its foreign relations and enhancing joint
00:03:40cooperation with their countries in various
00:03:42African Union. So, what is required and gives it the opportunity to break free from fields to serve common interests and strengthen
00:03:45regional security
00:03:48from this and stability. For their part, the ambassadors expressed their happiness to work in
00:03:51Sudan, affirming their countries' aspiration to develop
00:03:56politics itself. Therefore, this partnership with Khartoum and coordination in regional and international forums.
00:04:00Dr. Mohamed Youssef, welcome again. The submission of four
00:04:04ambassadors' credentials to the head
00:04:08and have relied on of the Transitional Sovereign Council, Commander
00:04:09have a problem with Al-Burhan, at this time has very
00:04:12significant and strong implications at this
00:04:15a large part stage. Of course, these are ambassadors
00:04:20And I repeat that this of very important these laws and overseeing countries, indeed,
00:04:23and they push
00:04:27the new direction of Sudanese foreign policy.
00:04:31And if we talk about Turkey,
00:04:35Now the state is suffering Turkey is a major from what country, an economic power,
00:04:37and it has
00:04:40They should ease the burden on these great relations,
00:04:40benefit from very great relations with Sudan. I believe
00:04:43that the accreditation of the ambassador's
00:04:45about a bread credentials the crisis,
00:04:47at this stage by the President
00:04:50with the same old mentality, I believe of the Sovereign Council has very significant implications. There are
00:04:54extended relations in various
00:04:57aspects. Turkey has always supported
00:05:01many positions Sudan in all crises and in all hardships.
00:05:04It has always provided Sudan with everything it needs, whether in
00:05:07the humanitarian field, in the political field, and there is
00:05:11congruence in opinions and positions as well.
00:05:14In addition to Egypt, Egypt is a sister
00:05:18country to Sudan and has never abandoned
00:05:21Sudan. The Egyptian ambassador
00:05:24has been present throughout the war. He was
00:05:27there, and now his credentials are being accredited
00:05:30because the old ambassador has left, and a new
00:05:33ambassador has arrived, and his credentials have been accredited
00:05:37by the head of the Sovereign Council. Egypt,
00:05:40of course, talking about it would take a long time.
00:05:44Its positions are very clear, and it has always
00:05:48adopted all of Sudan's issues in all international forums.
00:05:51Burundi is
00:05:53also a sister country to Sudan,
00:05:56and its positions are balanced towards the Sudanese
00:05:59issue. Burundi has always talked
00:06:03a lot about Sudan, and it presides over the African Union, of course, in this session.
00:06:07Its president also stated at one point
00:06:11that he is with Sudan and with
00:06:14the existing Sudanese legitimacy and the existing Sudanese institutions
00:06:18now. I believe that
00:06:21Belarus, which is from Eastern Asia,
00:06:25also has relations with Sudan, and there were bilateral
00:06:28agreements signed last year
00:06:32between the two countries. I believe that
00:06:35these four countries are a very great addition
00:06:39to the new direction of Sudanese foreign policy.
00:06:44There is a direction that diversifies axes. In addition
00:06:47to that, it creates a new balance. So, I believe
00:06:51that this is a major shift in Sudanese
00:06:54foreign policy. The submission of credentials by these countries
00:06:58that have international and regional weight, does
00:07:01it reflect a breakthrough in Sudanese
00:07:04the outside and a change in the regional
00:07:08and international community's view of what is happening inside Sudan, and increased
00:07:11trust in the transitional government of Sudan?
00:07:14Yes, that's true. This is an additional asset
00:07:18for Sudanese foreign policy. In addition to that,
00:07:24least excellent recovery now in
00:07:27Sudan. Therefore, I believe that
00:07:30many of Sudan's enemies are trying
00:07:33to isolate Sudan internationally.
00:07:36Therefore, I believe that such accreditations
00:07:39break any attempt to isolate Sudan in
00:07:43a diplomatic framework, in its external framework, in the framework of foreign
00:07:46policy. And also, it gives
00:07:49a new perspective for others to
00:07:52adopt new positions because Sudan is
00:07:56a sovereign state and has extended
00:07:58relations. And it has its
00:08:01own vision, even in adopting policies
00:08:05that are consistent with its overall vision. Therefore, I believe
00:08:08that the accreditation of these four countries' ambassadors
00:08:12to Sudan will, I believe, give new momentum
00:08:15to Sudanese foreign policy. Well, Dr. Mohamed Youssef,
00:08:17the presence of Egypt and Turkey
00:08:21side by side, and on the other hand, Belarus
00:08:24and Burundi. How can Sudan be seen
00:08:28from two perspectives? One is relations
00:08:31or an Arab Islamic regional axis, and on the other hand,
00:08:34an Eastern European African axis. How can
00:08:37these partnerships and
00:08:40this openness to these countries
00:08:42in different axes be utilized? Yes, of course, this is
00:08:46a very great partnership. First, as I mentioned, it enables
00:08:49Sudan to move in multiple axes
00:08:55Western hegemony. Sudan, like
00:08:58other countries, was part of
00:09:01the Western sphere that dominates many foreign policies
00:09:05and global
00:09:08mix between Eastern European
00:09:12countries, and between countries
00:09:16in Asia, and between countries in Africa,
00:09:20and between Arab and Islamic countries, I believe this is a diversification
00:09:23of axes, and it will certainly create a new balance.
00:09:27Egypt has a very great and well-known weight. Turkey also,
00:09:31with its economic presence, its military presence in the region,
00:09:34to these relations.
00:09:38Belarus is an important country in Eastern
00:09:41Asia. And the country has very long experience in the field of industries,
00:09:45defense industries, in the field of agriculture,
00:09:49in the field of iron industry, in many fields, and I believe
00:09:53that Burundi, as an African country, also an African
00:09:57country like other Asian countries,
00:10:00adopts balanced positions that respect
00:10:04the sovereignty of states and do not interfere in the internal affairs
00:10:08of states. Therefore, after that,
00:10:11there will be
00:10:14in international forums that align in goals
00:10:17and visions. Therefore, I believe that this is
00:10:20the desired benefit from this diversification
00:10:23of axes: the African axis, the Arab-Islamic axis,
00:10:27and also the Asian axis. Well, these diplomatic
00:10:30openings and these partnerships come concurrently with the successive
00:10:34and continuous victories achieved
00:10:37by the Sudanese Armed Forces and the joint forces
00:10:41and the regular forces supporting the Sudanese
00:10:44Armed Forces on the ground. How do you view
00:10:47this progress in both the diplomatic and military
00:10:51aspects on the ground, and how does it serve Sudan?
00:10:56Yes, I believe that this creates internal balance
00:10:59for Sudan
00:11:03openness, and breaking the back of the rebellion in Sudan
00:11:06and the defeat of the rebellious militia and expelling
00:11:09the mercenaries and the great victories that you
00:11:13mentioned now are all in favor of
00:11:16liberating Sudanese territory from the usurpers
00:11:19and from this rebellious militia. This is certainly consistent with Sudan's
00:11:23overall policy. It is also consistent with Sudan's
00:11:28the major diplomatic struggle that Sudan is now waging
00:11:32in all forums, in all axes, and many victories
00:11:35have been achieved. The latest of which is the technical extension
00:11:39of Resolution 1591.
00:11:42I believe that this is also a very great
00:11:49There are diplomatic and political victories, and there
00:11:52are battlefield victories that go hand
00:11:55in hand. I believe that all of these solidify the pillars of the country,
00:11:58solidify the existing legitimacy in the state,
00:12:02the legitimacy of the Sovereign Council, and the legitimacy
00:12:05of the Hope Government, and the legitimacy of all existing institutions
00:12:09now. Therefore, I believe
00:12:13victories in the fighting axes,
00:12:16and adopt
00:12:21approach in diplomatic dealings with foreign
00:12:24policy. The two complement each other. In addition to that,
00:12:27there is another stage, which is also that Sudan,
00:12:31while dealing with the war file, and the diplomacy file, and
00:12:34the peace file, all of these files are now moving hand in hand,
00:12:38and all of them will achieve great victories for Sudan. So, if
00:12:41we talk about Sudan's relations and Sudan's
00:12:45position in Africa, there were some African countries that supported
00:12:48the Sudanese government and the Sudanese
00:12:52April 15, 2023.
00:12:55And there were countries that supported the militia
00:12:59or supported the political arm of the militia.
00:13:02And there were countries that were neutralized.
00:13:05The accreditation of Burundi's ambassador
00:13:08and Burundi's current presidency of the African Union,
00:13:11especially after Sudan's membership was suspended for a long
00:13:15time in the African Union. How
00:13:17do these diplomatic partnerships serve Sudan's
00:13:21regional position, especially in light of this war?
00:13:25Yes, these partnerships will serve Sudan regionally, internationally,
00:13:28and
00:13:30specifically, Africa. Of course,
00:13:34they will contribute, and there was a statement by the Burundian President
00:13:38at one stage that Sudan will soon
00:13:41return to the African home, considering that
00:13:44Sudan's membership was suspended in the African
00:13:48Union for a very long time. And now Sudan
00:13:52has responded to all the requirements for its return to
00:13:55the African Union. And Burundi
00:13:58is now the ambassador whose credentials are being accredited. I believe this is
00:14:02a very great openness for a country that presides over the
00:14:07from Sudan and what is required from Sudanese diplomacy is to benefit
00:14:13direction
00:14:16and the positive stance of the Burundian President and the country
00:14:19of Burundi to push this
00:14:23file so that Sudan returns to the African
00:14:27home. Also, there are other friendly countries to Sudan
00:14:30that support all Sudanese positions,
00:14:34regardless of the countries that are hostile to Sudan and bring mercenaries
00:14:38and support the rebellious militia. This is true, but those
00:14:41who stand with Sudan or are neutral, all of them now
00:14:45will, through the new direction of foreign
00:14:48policy, all of them
00:14:51will support Sudan's position because what happened in Sudan,
00:14:55other countries are not immune
00:14:59happened. All the countries that opposed Sudan
00:15:02and supported this rebellious militia
00:15:04may be consumed by
00:15:08these fires themselves. Therefore, I believe that the regional and international
00:15:11situation has improved. Now, let's move directly, Dr.
00:15:15Mohamed, to the second file of today's episode of "Axis of Events."
00:15:18The Hope Government is studying the features of a plan
00:15:21for austerity and reducing government spending and easing
00:15:25the cost of living for citizens. The Prime Minister,
00:15:28Dr. Kamal Idris, held an emergency meeting with the members
00:15:32of the Hope Government, with the participation of ministers, state ministers,
00:15:36and a number of undersecretaries. This was after the conclusion
00:15:39of the Strategic Hope Forum, which was hosted by
00:15:42Khartoum over the past three days and concluded
00:15:46its work on Sunday. The meeting discussed
00:15:49a number of important issues and files,
00:15:53foremost among them was studying the features of an urgent
00:15:56plan in the coming days to adopt an austerity
00:16:00policy and reduce government spending, in addition to discussing
00:16:03economic measures aimed at easing the cost of living for
00:16:09citizens and improving it. In the same context,
00:16:13the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Trade announced
00:16:15that the ministry had established eight reduced-price
00:16:19sales outlets in Khartoum State, indicating that work is underway
00:16:23to launch a project to sell bread at reduced prices.
00:16:26It is scheduled to start soon in Khartoum
00:16:30and a number of states, as part of efforts to ease
00:16:33the cost of living for citizens in various Sudanese states.
00:16:36The meeting also discussed sending an aid convoy
00:16:40to North Kordofan State to support those affected
00:16:43by the war and provide essential needs for those affected
00:16:47by the humanitarian situation. In the context of foreign relations,
00:16:50the Minister of Foreign Affairs gave a briefing on Sudan's
00:16:53participation in the United Nations and the course of Sudanese
00:16:56relations and related files through communication with
00:17:00regional and global countries to achieve the state's
00:17:03official vision and preserve national
00:17:07sovereignty. Also,
00:17:09the Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation spoke about water
00:17:13services and the efforts made by his ministry
00:17:16to deliver renewable water stations and expand the scope
00:17:19of water delivery and include
00:17:22citizens in the networks, pointing out that a new percentage
00:17:25of beneficiaries, about 25%, has been reached
00:17:29in a number of cities and villages in various
00:17:33Sudanese states. The Minister of Agriculture
00:17:35and Irrigation also indicated his ministry's cooperation with
00:17:39the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Kingdom
00:17:43of Saudi Arabia in the framework of efforts aimed at
00:17:46supporting water projects and improving water
00:17:49supply services for citizens. In the same context,
00:17:52the Minister of Culture, Information, Antiquities, and Tourism
00:17:55gave a briefing on his ministry's plan to restart
00:17:59the remaining institutions that were damaged due
00:18:02to the war and repair the destruction caused by the
00:18:06militias. This was within the framework of the ministry's efforts
00:18:10to restore the activity of cultural, media,
00:18:13and tourism institutions, rehabilitate damaged facilities,
00:18:17and resume their role in serving society. The Hope
00:18:20Government is studying a plan for austerity and reducing spending
00:18:23and easing the cost of living through reduced-price sales outlets
00:18:27and the bread project. A number of ministers presented,
00:18:31Dr. Mohamed Youssef, the vision and the work they have
00:18:34implemented during the past period. However,
00:18:38in your opinion, are these efforts, which are certainly
00:18:42appreciated, sufficient in light of these difficult economic conditions
00:18:45faced by Sudanese citizens in all states of
00:18:48Sudan? Or is it required of
00:18:52ministers and government institutions and the Hope
00:18:55Government to exert a lot of effort quickly
00:18:58to alleviate the burden of living for Sudanese citizens who have been suffering
00:19:02from the ravages of war for years?
00:19:05Yes, of course, there have been efforts
00:19:09made, yes, but the suffering
00:19:12is still present and increasing,
00:19:15and increasing. Also,
00:19:18this suffering has its reasons, of course, because
00:19:21all conditions now are exceptional conditions.
00:19:24This accursed war,
00:19:27imposed on the Sudanese
00:19:31people, has first destroyed all infrastructure.
00:19:33Now, the Hope Government
00:19:37is making great efforts,
00:19:41sometimes working to rebuild what the war has destroyed, especially
00:19:44the infrastructure that is essentially linked to providing
00:19:48services. For example, if we talk about electricity now,
00:19:53of it has been severely damaged.
00:19:56Also, the health sector, although it is now in a recovery
00:20:00phase and much better than it was in the early
00:20:03days. Water supplies also have a big
00:20:07problem. The decline in revenues.
00:20:12from the economy as a whole. There is an economic problem
00:20:16now, and this has directly affected people's
00:20:20livelihoods. People are now talking
00:20:23crisis, which is a big problem.
00:20:25And certainly, the Hope Government
00:20:29is required to think about preparing a strategic
00:20:32plan that is short-term
00:20:36and quick to implement with great speed.
00:20:40In your opinion, will this plan succeed in easing the cost of living
00:20:43for Sudanese citizens? I believe they have started now, but
00:20:47these solutions, I believe, are objective
00:20:50solutions. Reduced sales and so on. I believe
00:20:54that there must be support for urgent
00:20:57production policies. There must
00:21:00be support for basic suppliers.
00:21:03Agriculture now needs very great
00:21:07support. Also,
00:21:09the mining sector also needs great support
00:21:12because the financial return for both sectors
00:21:16can be very quick. After that, they can cover
00:21:20all the deficits in
00:21:22easing the cost of living for Sudanese people.
00:21:26Because citizens now are truly suffering. They suffer in transportation,
00:21:29they suffer from water scarcity, they suffer from
00:21:33the lack of bread sometimes, or high prices. All of these
00:21:36are problems. Yes, the Sudanese people understand
00:21:40these circumstances, and they know very well that all of this
00:21:44is a result of the effects of the devastating
00:21:47war,
00:21:50of course. But this patience also needs to have limits, and the Hope
00:21:54Government must strive and exert its utmost
00:21:57effort, especially with economic inflation and rising
00:22:01services and everything Sudanese citizens need every day in
00:22:04all states of Sudan. Indeed, and this matter, its repercussions are not only in
00:22:08Khartoum State. Khartoum is only in the spotlight, in the media, and so on,
00:22:12but these same problems are now
00:22:16states, and perhaps even more. Therefore, it is required
00:22:19to immediately move to find urgent solutions.
00:22:22First, support
00:22:25production, especially
00:22:28greatly emphasized. In addition
00:22:31to that, control
00:22:34mining, because it is also a quick return.
00:22:40of the problems that face the livelihood
00:22:43of Sudanese people can be covered. It is not acceptable for citizens
00:22:46now, in these circumstances, to talk about
00:22:50not having bread, for example. True, there may be food
00:22:53alternatives and so on, but our food culture
00:22:56is based on bread and millet
00:23:00and some of these things. But also,
00:23:03we need to introduce food alternatives, such as rice
00:23:06and others, so that schools will open
00:23:09in the coming days.
00:23:13Children need bread, they need breakfast, many things.
00:23:17Well, Dr. Mohamed, the ministerial meeting discussed a number
00:23:20of important topics: the "Light and Water" project, providing
00:23:24water with solar energy, and opening reduced-price sales outlets
00:23:29A number of ministers spoke about their future
00:23:32programs and what has been implemented. In your opinion, what
00:23:35are the priorities that
00:23:39the Hope Government should start with now and immediately
00:23:42to alleviate these living burdens for
00:23:45citizens? People's livelihoods are a priority.
00:23:49After that, I believe that
00:23:52the political discourse and the emotional
00:23:55discourse are now exhausted.
00:23:58There must be immediate action to put
00:24:01a plan that is quick to implement and implementable
00:24:05with great speed, because as we mentioned, citizens
00:24:09are ultimately looking for their daily bread, they are looking
00:24:12for a decent life. Therefore, I believe
00:24:16that supporting - we cannot
00:24:20say that the government should subsidize, for example,
00:24:23some goods. No. But providing these goods
00:24:26should be within reach at prices
00:24:29that citizens can
00:24:33afford. And this requires action at the level of all states.
00:24:36If you want to set up, for example,
00:24:40reduced-price sales outlets, you need
00:24:43an urgent study of the type
00:24:47of goods you need to offer to citizens at reduced prices. What
00:24:50are they? Okay, there is another important point, Doctor, which is the issue
00:24:54of market and shop oversight. We may not
00:24:59the laws, but we have a problem with the mechanism
00:25:02for implementing these laws on the ground and monitoring
00:25:07the officials responsible for people's livelihoods in the states of Sudan. How
00:25:11do you view this issue and how can it alleviate the severity
00:25:14of citizens' suffering? Yes, the role of oversight is very important,
00:25:18of course. And I wonder,
00:25:22why haven't we benefited from the war so far? On the contrary,
00:25:26greed has emerged greatly. We should
00:25:32benefit from the war. If we do not emerge
00:25:35from the war with new lessons and then come back and proceed
00:25:40it's over. Therefore, I do not expect or believe that
00:25:44the Sudanese people, whether in the public sector or the private
00:25:48sector, need oversight.
00:25:50They should oversee themselves, because this is
00:25:54the exceptional situation. Why this greed?
00:25:57Why this monopolization? Why this
00:26:01trading in these things, which opens up a lot
00:26:04of corruption, unfortunately? We hope
00:26:07that God will be kind to all
00:26:11Sudanese people and alleviate this suffering. It is a stage that truly
00:26:15requires the concerted efforts of all official and popular sectors to reach
00:26:20file, and move on to the third file.
00:26:23Prime Minister: The hope and will of the Sudanese people
00:26:27constitute an impregnable fortress against undermining their
00:26:30gains and capabilities.
00:26:33The Prime Minister, Dr. Kamal Idris, saluted the sacrifices of the valiant
00:26:36Armed Forces and their supporting forces, and everyone who
00:26:40contributed with their effort, weapon, idea, or
00:26:43pen in the battles of eternal dignity.
00:26:46His Excellency congratulated all Sudanese people
00:26:49on the successive victories that
00:26:53the valiant Sudanese Armed Forces have been achieving in
00:26:56various fighting axes against the rebellious
00:27:00terrorist Rapid Support Militia. This came
00:27:03during his address in Khartoum at the opening
00:27:07of the Strategic Hope Forum, which is held under
00:27:10the slogan "Clear Vision, Unified Strategy,
00:27:13Disciplined Implementation." This was in the presence of the Attorney
00:27:16General, Counselor Intisar Ahmed Abdel Aal, and the ministers,
00:27:20state governors, secretaries general, undersecretaries,
00:27:23directors of institutions, bodies, the private sector,
00:27:27and a number of experts and specialists. The Prime Minister offered
00:27:31condolences for the souls of the martyrs of the battle of dignity,
00:27:35whose martyrdom remained a victory, a blessing,
00:27:37and a grace for the state and the Sudanese nation.
00:27:41His Excellency affirmed that the Strategic Hope Forum, in its implications,
00:27:44carries what the Hope Government seeks to achieve
00:27:48the aspirations of the Sudanese people for balanced
00:27:51and sustainable development in the country. The Prime Minister explained that the country
00:27:55is going through exceptional circumstances and a very important, strategic,
00:27:59and critical stage, which requires the concerted
00:28:02efforts of all official and popular sectors, especially scientists, specialists,
00:28:06and the private sector. His Excellency stated that the hope
00:28:10and will of the Sudanese people, in addition to their patience
00:28:13and struggle, and Sudan's strategic location, and its capabilities
00:28:17and multiple resources, constitute
00:28:19an impregnable fortress against undermining their
00:28:22gains and capabilities, pointing out in this regard
00:28:26that Sudan possesses the most fertile lands, the most valuable minerals,
00:28:29and the greatest animal resources, and the longest
00:28:33rivers, in addition to its major agricultural projects, which
00:28:36collectively represent a strategic reserve
00:28:39for global food security. The Prime Minister said
00:28:43that the hope and will of the Sudanese people, and its location
00:28:46and resources, constitute an impregnable fortress against undermining
00:28:49its gains. Dr. Mohamed Youssef, this
00:28:52is very important, but
00:28:55how can this optimistic
00:28:58discourse of Dr. Kamal Idris,
00:29:01the Prime Minister, be translated into
00:29:05concrete actions on the ground? Citizens need urgent
00:29:09measures to solve these successive
00:29:12crises since the beginning of the war in
00:29:152023, which have now increased after the return
00:29:18of citizens from their displacement areas and from the countries to which
00:29:22they were displaced due to the war?
00:29:25Of course, there is great hope that embraces
00:29:29all Sudanese people, and the speech of the Prime Minister,
00:29:33the government of security, Prime Minister Kamel Idris,
00:29:37a speech in which there was longing and a future
00:29:40vision for Sudan. Yes,
00:29:42and it is true that the vision needs
00:29:46to be gradually implemented in the comprehensive
00:29:49plan.
00:29:51However, the current economic conditions necessarily require
00:29:55urgent interventions
00:29:57to accommodate these conditions
00:30:00that the Sudanese people are experiencing. It is true,
00:30:04as we mentioned, that the Sudanese people have remained silent
00:30:07and patient,
00:30:10reliance. But now the circumstances have completely changed,
00:30:14and the recovery phase will certainly be followed by stages
00:30:17and its needs and requirements are completely different.
00:30:22scene, its repercussions are not only in Khartoum
00:30:25state, but also in other states.
00:30:28Therefore, the current government is required
00:30:33to take urgent measures to alleviate this
00:30:36severity in living conditions that the Sudanese people
00:30:39are experiencing.
00:30:42Sudanese people from many burdens that they are
00:30:46currently suffering from and carrying on
00:30:48their backs. For example, the costs of treatment, the costs
00:30:52of education, health, electricity,
00:30:55water, even those who are sitting
00:30:59themselves.
