The Unionist Party and the Rest... Treason, Family-Sized (Part 1)

For decades, we have wondered what the 'Unionist Party' meant—union with whom, why, and how? Is this union like the Four Freedoms, only one-sided? Why is there no unionist party in Egypt that raises a slogan like the one written in iron letters on the gate of Ismail al-Azhari's house: 'Union, Order, and Work'? This is our slogan, yet the Egyptians during the days of the World War were closer to Hitler. There was communication between Arabs in general and Jordan in particular, via the Mufti. 1/ We said the biggest catastrophe in central and northern Sudan is sectarianism. Sectarianism is the highest level of voluntary slavery, like slaves who spent their entire lives building pyramids for the benefit of the Pharaoh, who was the 'Great Lord.' Sectarianism is where humans abandon their minds, dignity, and potential, practicing what contradicts the true Islamic religion. It is a crime to deify some humans and surrender one's will to them, raising children to be submissive and broken. Sectarianism does not care what happens or will happen; it only cares about staying in power, either from behind the veil or directly. To it, the people are sheep led to slaughter, sacrificing everything precious and sacred. Sectarianism is the manifestation of military dictatorships just to remain in control of the sheep they lead. They shear them, milk them, slaughter them, and profit from their meat and hides. Get rid of sectarianism, and you will solve 50% of Sudan's misfortunes. The remaining fifty percent is our own ineptitude, dullness, and negligence. One of the greatest disasters in Sudan is the Nyala Conference, led by Muhammad Ahmed Mahjoub, a product of sectarianism that brought him to the premiership more than once! Like many people of Sudan, Mahjoub, with his African features, wanted to be accepted by the Arabs as an Arab; he did not accept being expelled from the 'Arab Club.' He cried, recited poetry, climbed the highest mountains, and declared his Arabism. At the Nyala Conference, he wanted to give a bribe to the Arabs, so he declared war on everything that was not Arab-Islamic in the entire region. The first victim was the first president of Chad, Tombalbaye, who was from the Sara people—the 'Zurqa'—and he was a Christian. This was in 1975, and thus the misery of Chad began, and stability in Chad vanished. Today, the outputs of the Nyala Conference are the Janjaweed in the entire region and the war between the 'Arabs and the Zurqa.' These wars, since 1955, are the result of that pathological state in Sudan and its neighborhood. Why don't we just settle for our Sudanese identity? 2/ The First World War was due to competition over colonies and markets. The Second World War was due to the uprising of those deprived of markets and colonies, such as Japan, Italy, Germany, and other countries like Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, and Spain, etc. Japan attacked America in 1941 despite America's neutrality for three years. America entered on the side of the Allies, who had tasted the worst defeats in Europe and East Asia at the hands of Japan. The Newfoundland Conference took place, laying the first brick for NATO. America conditioned the liberation of all colonies after the war, opening markets, and overthrowing monopolies. America promised to help the Allies and even the Soviet Union, which lost 29 million people. 3/ The parties and the masters of sectarianism continue to lie, and the Sudanese people believe them because they think with their ears, as the Sudanese thinker, Ambassador and Minister Jamal Muhammad Ahmed, wrote. Monarchies, dictatorships, and some right-wing governments fell, the Soviet Union was formed after the Second World War, and the Socialists took power in Britain and fired 'Churchill,' the son of the Lords, from power. The British announced publicly in Sudan that they would leave—forced by the Russian Yalta Agreement, which included Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt—within 10 years, and the Sudanese would govern themselves. Independence was not brought by any party, person, or demon. They deceived you, and you chanted: 'You freed the people, O Ismail! You, who were slaves, O Ismail!' Ismail al-Azhari, the Bargawi, became an agent for Arab Egypt. And they couldn't even maintain what the Socialists left behind. Where does this compare to the tyranny, oppression, looting, killing, dragging, and the 'House of Ghosts' of the Islamists?! 4/ Said Pasha, the ruler of Egypt and Sudan, decided to leave Sudan and settle for Egypt, and the Egyptian people were submissive and surrendered as usual to all conquerors. Due to the death of Said Pasha's soldiers in the endless wars of Sudan, his financial losses, and the death of his brother, nicknamed 'Abu al-Suqour,' in Sudan, he wanted to leave Sudan and withdraw the rest of his armies. There was a proverb that means fear of chaos: 'The coming of Said Pasha's departure.' In the 1860s, Said Pasha announced he would leave Sudan. He threw the cannons and ledgers into the Nile. The Sudanese were afraid and rushed to Said Pasha, pleading with him to stay, because his sudden departure would give the Sudanese the chance to kill each other. They asked Said Pasha to stop, and the Sudanese leaders, along with the army, would rule Sudan and send a beautiful tribute to Said Pasha. Abu Sin became a ruler in Khartoum, with him being al-Shallali, al-Zubayr Pasha, Abu Nakhra, al-Nour Angara, and Elias Umberir Abu Daql. 5/ When the Sudanese heard that the British would leave Sudan according to the binding Newfoundland Agreement—without which America would not help the Allies—what happened to the Sudanese was similar to the case of Said Pasha! The most beautiful comment was that of the uncle, member of the Socialist Republican Party, Ibrahim Musa Madibo—whose father, Musa Madibo, and his relative, al-Ajayl al-Janqawi, were killed by the Mahdiyya—to his friend, the British Balfour, the last British official to leave Sudan: 'You didn't put us in a lorry; there are no lights, no brakes, and no horn.' Uncle Azraq, a friend of Ismail al-Azhari, formed a party after paying a large sum for registration, 50 pounds, equivalent to 150 dollars. Thus, the Sudan Progress Party was formed, demanding the British remain. Many Sudanese shared this sentiment. The truth remains that the best period of governance in Sudan was the British administration period, then the Aboud dictatorship. There was a good economy moving at a wonderful pace. Prices were stable, inflation was so low that it was not worth mentioning. Security was maintained. Education and treatment were available, free of charge for the majority who could not afford to pay. We had the best penal code, which was only corrupted by Nimeiri, who separated the security law to protect his dictatorial regime. We were not subordinate to the Ministry of Colonies, which was led by right-wingers, conservatives, and army/police intelligence, as in other colonized countries. The unionist system was established by the British. Meetings for the Farmers' Union were managed in the office of the socialist General Manager of the Gezira Scheme, Mr. Gaitskell, who would leave them the offices and withdraw. He started his work in 1923 before the project opened in 1925 and worked until 1950, when the socialist government was formed, which was against colonialism, called for fighting capitalism, and supported the independence of peoples. After nationalization, the Gezira Scheme was presented as a gift to the government of Sudan, with the participation of farmers. The Sudanese thinker and member of the Socialist Republican Party, Mekki Abbas, became the governor of the Gezira, which had its own newspaper with full freedom. The first foundations were laid for the Managil Extension, which equals the Gezira in area, and the total area became 2 million feddans. Egypt was angry because at that time, agricultural lands in Egypt had not reached 4 million feddans. The British Sergeant, Ward, at the Burri camp, and communist British were explaining to the Sudanese the socialist theory: eliminating colonialism and capitalism, building democratic socialism, human rights, etc. The conditions lived by the workers and the rural proletariat were so good that the state of the Sudanese citizen in terms of housing, treatment, and wages was better than much of the proletariat in Britain and especially Eastern Europe, who lived in horrible conditions of hunger, displacement, disease, and housing unfit for human habitation. The people of Scandinavia, who are wealthy today, lived until the 1950s as slaves on the farms of nobles, decimated by tuberculosis and addiction to alcohol made in primitive ways. Nothing saved them but socialism. 6/ The rules of Fabian socialism were set in Sudan, represented by the policy of the British socialist government and the Socialist Republican Party. Here, there is a difference with communism, which does not believe in the right of freedom of opinion and expression; accessing power is only through the ballot box. Democracy is one vote for every citizen, and the transition of power is through the ballot box. Abdullah Khalil, the founder of the Umma Party and raiser of the slogan 'Sudan for the Sudanese' with the Kaimakam Hassan al-Zein and a third person, became its leader before Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi stole the Umma Party with the help of Professor Abd al-Rahman Ali Taha. And this is what Muhammad al-Mirghani did with the Unionist Party!! Abdullah Khalil became the minister of the most important ministry in Sudan: the Ministry of Agriculture. Dr. Ali Badri received the Ministry of Health, and Professor Abd al-Rahman Ali Taha became the minister of the Ministry of Education. These were not just decorative decisions; it was a full-fledged handover. The budget for the Ministry of Health and Education became 25%. Schools expanded so quickly that the British bureaucratic agent of the Ministry of Education did not understand that the world after the Second World War had changed and development does not wait; he began to call for slowing down. Abd al-Rahman Ali Taha fired the British agent and asked Dr. Ali Badri to fire the 'Khawaja' (the foreigner). However, Ali Badri, like many others, believed in benefiting from the expertise of the British. That is why, after independence, contracts were made with the British in universities, institutes, and hospitals. Agriculture developed, and hundreds of civil and government agricultural projects were formed. Most of the means of production were in the hands of the people. Factories, railways, river and sea ships, ports, airports, shipping and airline lines, hotels, most secondary schools, universities, institutes, and most schools that enjoyed high capabilities, hospitals, massive agricultural projects, and livelihood projects in weak areas. The Ministry of Finance's control over payment and receipt of money was only through 'Form 15'. The army, police, fire department, etc., were under the control of the state. This did not please the sectarianism that dreamed of full control over Sudan's resources after the British left. They owned huge latifundias where tens of thousands worked as serfs receiving only crumbs and promises of entering paradise. At the head of all these were agents and lovers of Egypt and those deluded by Nasserism and the Arab nationalist Ba'ath, which held the slogan: 'One Arab nation with a timeless mission' in a country where the majority of its population, 63% according to the first census, do not speak Arabic as their mother tongue!! Some languages in Sudan are spoken only by tens of thousands of people, including Avokaya, Liri, Baya, and Bongo, etc. Collaboration with Egypt for paid wages started from the twenties. In that period, the fact of Egypt's need for a High Dam to feed the people became clear, as Muhammad Naguib—the son of Omdurmani Zahra Muhammad Osman, who was born and raised and studied up to the college level in Sudan—warned the Sudanese: 'O Uncle Babiker Badri, do not unite with Egypt; they are the lowest people.' From the book 'Memories of a Minister', Uncle Badawi Mustafa, Minister of Education in the sixties and member of the Unionist Party, wrote on pages 93 and 94. The book was published by the minister's son, Muhammad Badawi Mustafa, through Dar Badawi Publishing. Quote: 'Ismail al-Azhari and Yahya al-Fadhli were on a tour around the Arab countries between 1946 and 1951. Yahya al-Fadhli mentioned about that trip that he, al-Azhari, and Mubarak Zarrouq went to meet King Farouk... Notice the movements; even to the UN, it was after the independence decision... Shawqi. They were met by the King's secretary, named Hosni, who published his memoirs later at Dar Al-Shorouk. Yahya al-Fadhli was noble and brave and did not fear the blame of any critic for the sake of God. They came to the palace and met Hosni, and he invited them to sit in the VIP salon. They were talking with Hosni about various matters, and in the middle of the conversation, Yahya stood up, saying: 'O Mr. Hosni, if you have anything you want to bring to us in Sudan, do not bring it through the commander of the Sudanese army. We do not trust him.' Hosni answered in a loud voice, stern and angry: 'How, Yahya, can you say something like that? Do you know what you are saying? I will bring the palace police now to investigate you.' Yahya al-Fadhli did not stutter in answering Secretary Hosni; he answered him in a voice louder than his, with the anger of a Sudanese: 'O Excellency, Bukhari, the commander of the Egyptian army forces in Sudan, is a thief and a crook.' Yahya al-Fadhli was firm in the truth. Hosni leaned back from the shock on the chair, astonished by the courage of this Sudanese man who did not care about the palace police, then saying: 'O Yahya, you mean you consider me a thief too, because the things come through me?' Yahya answered: 'No, I did not say that.' Yahya was very bold and did not fear the blame of any critic for the sake of God, may God have mercy on them all.' End of quote. I do not understand why the saying 'does not fear the blame of any critic for the sake of God' is used. The matter is nothing more than weeping over the bribe money that King Farouk was providing to the agents of Egypt in Sudan, and the recipients were Azhari, Mubarak Zarrouq, Yahya al-Fadhli, and others. Yahya al-Fadhli, despite being known as the 'dynamo' because he moved everything, was deprived of the ministry, and Azhari appointed the head of the first Muslim Brotherhood organization, Ibrahim al-Mufti, instead of Yahya al-Fadhli!! It was infighting for money, power, and status. Yahya al-Fadhli did not stop at being kicked out of the ministry; he would place a chair in front of parliament and lecture people, threatening Azhari while he was going up to the chair, saying: 'This idol, I built it and I will destroy it.' Azhari was afraid because Yahya al-Fadhli, as they said, was a brave and courageous man and held a lot over everyone. Azhari had to start the first corruption and tampering with the fate of the Sudanese people. They cut the Social Affairs department from the Ministry of Interior and made it a ministry to satisfy Yahya al-Fadhli. After the Khatmiyya split, Abu Sin became Minister of Social Affairs... We did not work for the world; we worked for democracy!! 7/ The British who worked in Sudan were from 'Oxbridge,' graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, graduates of the humanities. They knew the meanness and baseness of the Egyptian governments that treated their citizens with 'contempt,' and they still do. The British tried in every way to protect the Sudanese because of their good and generous nature from the encroachment of the Egyptians. They praised the Sudanese very highly in their books, such as 'Sudanese Canterbury Tales' and 'Shadows on the Sand,' etc. They protected our nationality and lands for us. No foreigner was allowed to own more than one residential plot. Babiker Badri bought land in the Gezira area, and because he was not a resident of Gezira, they refused to register the land in his name. Foreigners who bought gardens in Tuti were forced to return them to their owners for fear of foreign control over Tuti Island due to the availability of money and the poverty of the people of the island. When the British tried to plan the Gezira, the residents refused. During the discussion, the Nazir (leader) Tayeb al-Asma became heated and slapped the inspector. He was only sentenced to 6 months in prison according to the law and the article on assault against a public servant during the performance of duty. He was not deprived of his livelihood, and he continued as a headmaster of a school in Khartoum. 8/ The people of northern and central Sudan are the cause of the evils. Throughout our lives, we have asked our people to exit the swamp of Arab sectarianism and the control of charlatans like Muhammad Ahmed Abdullah Wad al-Fahl and the other charlatan, al-Mirghani, and some small charlatans from exploiting the Sudanese in the name of fake Arabism and the Islamic religion forged by deceit. We deserve what is happening to us today from the Arabs and Egyptians. Did the Arabs stand with us when Egypt killed our soldiers and stole Halayeb? Did they condemn what happened to our gold-seeking youth? Did that hag, 'Bint al-Tawil,' the Egyptian intelligence agent for whom they lay out the red carpet in Sudan, address what happened to our youth? We, gentlemen, deserve to be slapped. One of the biggest international newspapers, the New York Times, published satellite images determining the bombing area before and after the massacre. It internationally identified the area as 40 kilometers south of the Egyptian border. If the crime had been inside Egypt, the wounded and survivors would have been detained, investigation reports would have been opened, and they would have been presented to court, and there would have been military and police reports, weapons would have been seized as exhibits, and the bodies would have been buried after examination and identification, etc. The war was 40 kilometers inside Sudan. The Egyptian army admits and talks about the 'third cooking.' And the Sanaa Burhan and the 'Sanabrish' army of the Islamists are looking for their lost things. Now, after the massacre, the generous Sawiris is asking for the delivery of the lands he bought, even in the Khartoum forest, which is registered in UNESCO and it is not allowed to cut it!! May God have mercy on the uncle and our teacher in Malakal, Luigi Adwok, the honorable man; he submitted his resignation from the Sovereignty Council when the playing with the Sudanese people continued and they changed the constitution to make Azhari a permanent president for Sudan instead of rotating the presidency. The honorable man and educator, Luigi Adwok, with the greatness of our southern people, said: 'If the constitution is changed once, the assault on the constitution will not stop.' May God have mercy on our teacher and our president, Luigi Adwok. Postscript: My brother Ismat, the son of our teacher and mentor, the journalist Minister, is the first one who sent me the videos and images that exceeded what we saw during the visit to Hitler's concentration camps and his treatment of communists, Roma, Jews, and prisoners of war. What Egypt is doing today and tomorrow is the product of the submission and cowardice that started with the Unionist Party and was developed by Egypt's greatest servant, Jaafar Wad Amina, who handed over Sudan on a platter to Egypt. And we will return to this. And I may tell you about another 'Sawiris,' through a shotgun for hunting, cut off the hand of a Sudanese citizen and caused the death of another Sudanese citizen, and he did not go to prison, and this was inside Sudan.
