Press Release
On the Footstep of the Former Regime, the Security Services of the Military Council Arrest Shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir
(Translated)

On the background of the distribution of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan of a leaflet issued by the Hizb entitled (Agreement between the two Parties of the Crisis is a Reproduction of the Former Regime with New Faces. There is no Solution Except with Islam Applied by the Khilafah), the security services arrested the two honorable brothers:

1. Mohammed Amin Daf’allah - Khartoum, was taken from Jackson Square.

2. Ali Hassan Ali - Wad Madani was taken from Al Amjad parking station.

The leaflet with the above-mentioned title was distributed in the capital and its localities, and in some other cities of Sudan in mosques, markets, public places etc., where the Hizb explained facts about the agreement between the Military Council and the Forces for Freedom and Change. The following was stated in some of its points: (The people of Sudan have been extensively misled to choose between two systems; either a military regime that is an extension of the defunct regime, or a civil regime that constitutes change! In fact, both systems are two sides of a single coin: namely secularism, the separation of religion from life, where religion is excluded, and the regulation of life systems and legislation is by majority, and this is what the defunct military regime was, and it is the same as what the civil system that this agreement establishes is going to be. Thus, the secular system that governs the country has not changed, but what has changed is the head of the regime and some of its symbols, so the people of Sudan will only reap more injustice and hardship of living, the Almighty says:

(وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكاً وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى)

“And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind.” [Ta-Ha: 124]).

Also stated within it: (The two parties to the agreement are the Military Council; the extension of the former regime, which seeks to preserve America’s interests. At a time when America supports the Military Council, where on Sunday 14/04/2019, two days after the fall of the head of the regime, the United States Chargé d'affaires (Koutsis) met with the deputy head of the Military Council (Daglo), where the statement said that: “US Chargé d'affaires welcomed the role of the Sudanese military council in achieving stability and security”. In his interview with Al-Hayat Newspaper on 27/6/2019, the American envoy to Sudan, Donald Booth, said, “US charge d'affaires here is in daily contact with the parties”. On Monday, April 15, 2019, the British ambassador in Khartoum (Irfan Siddiq) met with the deputy head of the Military Council, and the ambassador published on his Twitter page the details of the meeting, saying: “I met Daglo, not to endorse or confer legitimacy, but to stress steps (that the) UK wants to see taken to improve the situation in Sudan.”

Therefore, the reality of this conflict is that it is an international conflict between America and Britain over influence in Sudan, where America seeks to strengthen its influence, and Britain is trying to return again, and this explains the re-appointment of US envoy to Sudan, and the intensity of the intervention of the two embassies, American and British, in every detail of life in the country, and the frequent of visits of officials and politicians to them!!)

The leaflet concluded with the following: (Let us raise our voices and call for the establishment of the Khilafah to bring about a real change by the great ideology of Islam. This alone is what makes us the best nation that has been brought out to humankind as it made the Companions who were prosperous, glorious and carried the goodness to the worlds.)

We in Hizb ut Tahrir/ Wilayah of Sudan warn the Military Council and its security services not to go further in falsehood; to practice injustice as the former regime, and to arrest the Dawah carriers who the good for the Ummah. The Council and its security services should release the two brothers immediately and apologize to them.
