As its Poisonous Plot in Sudan Matures, the United States Pursues a Policy of Proliferating Ceasefires and Hints at Prolonging the Duration of the Conflict
(Translated)

The official Saudi News Agency has published the full text of the short-term ceasefire agreement between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The agreement will come into effect starting from Monday’s night, May 22, 2023, and both parties have committed to its implementation for a period of one week. Additionally, the agreement guarantees freedom of movement for civilians and facilitates humanitarian work by facilitating the flow of humanitarian and relief aid, etc...

We, in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan, in light of the catastrophic situation in Sudan, the proliferation of ceasefires, and the insistence on not ending the war, emphasize the following facts:

First:  Despite the Arab League's statement that the situation in Sudan is an internal matter and external interference is not permissible, those who follow what is happening in Jeddah can see that it is the United States that is influencing the situation in Sudan and controlling the negotiations in Jeddah. The agreement signed by the two parties yesterday was confirmed by Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee during her meetings in Addis Ababa from May 14-16, 2023, where she provided information about the talks in Jeddah to secure a short-term ceasefire that allows for the delivery of humanitarian aid (Al-Hakim News, May 16, 2023), in addition to the contacts made by the US Secretary of State with the parties to the conflict.

Second: The United States wants to prolong the duration of the conflict through the multiplication of ceasefires. This is not the first ceasefire, and it will not be the last, as stated in the general provisions of this latest agreement (Clause D: "The parties may agree to renew or update this agreement for additional periods").

Third: The ultimate beneficiary of this conflict is America the kaferah (disbelieving), which through this futile war strengthens the position of its military personnel in governance, in contrast to the civilians (Britain’s men). The masses have turned towards the army, supporting and backing it, which is what America desires. In doing so, America ensures keeping the civilians away from real power or weakening their authority in the future.

In conclusion, the solution does not lie in ceasefires that prolong the duration of the war. The solution lies in immediately stopping this war, turning back to Allah in repentance, and implementing Islam by providing support to the Hizb ut Tahrir in establishing the magnificent edifice of Islam, the Khilafah Rashidah (rightly guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood. This Khilafah will utilize this power against the Kuffar enemies instead of allowing it to be used to serve the destructive colonial projects in our lands.
