Al-Fashir is Sacrificed to America's Plan to Separate Darfur
The News:
Amid the rapidly deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in Al-Fashir, a member of the Presidential Council of the Establishment Government, Al-Tahir Hajar, and the Governor of the Darfur Region, Al-Hadi Idris, issued an urgent appeal to the city's residents, calling on them to leave immediately and head to the Qarni area, located northwest of Al-Fashir, where the forces of the Establishment Alliance are deployed, which announced its full readiness to secure civilians and their basic services.

Comment:
This statement comes at a time when the city of Al-Fashir has been under a complete siege for more than a year and a half, amid intermittent clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and hindered the arrival of aid to the local population. Al Jazeera Net reported on 7/29/2025: The hunger crisis and the lack of supplies have escalated, leading to the spread of famine and its transformation into a weapon of war used against civilians, according to local testimonies described by observers as slow genocide in light of the near disappearance of food and basic goods. Activists described the situation as the worst wave of systematic starvation Sudan has witnessed in decades, amid international neglect of what is happening on the ground.
In his statement to Al Jazeera Net, the Governor of North Darfur State, Hafez Bakheit, said that the living situation inside the city of Al-Fashir is collapsing almost completely, to the point that some residents are feeding on animal feed known as (al-Umbaz) in a scene that reveals the depth of the disaster. In a joint statement, political forces and resistance committees condemned the brutal siege of Al-Fashir and considered what is happening a war crime and a crime against humanity.
It is known that Al-Tahir Hajar and Al-Hadi Idris are followers of America, and emptying Al-Fashir of residents is in the interest of the Rapid Support Forces so that it will be easier for them to seize it and remove the embarrassment about the suffering of civilians.
Last Monday night, at a press conference in Port Sudan, Minni Arko Minawi, the governor of the Darfur region, criticized the official Sudanese handling of the Al-Fashir crisis. He said that there is a clear coldness in the way official bodies and multiple organizations are dealing with the ongoing crisis in Al-Fashir, stressing that this laxity came after the recovery of the capital, Khartoum, and Al-Jazeera from the Rapid Support Forces. Minawi also expressed that he has no objection to communicating with the Rapid Support Forces and the Civil Democratic Forces Alliance of the Forces of Revolution (Sumud). Also, former minister Muhammad Bashir Abu Numu, who belongs to the Minawi movement, released hot air when he said on his Facebook page under the title "A Final Cry for Al-Fashir Before the 'Sunset'..." At the same time, an entire government with its armed forces, joint forces, affiliated battalions, and mobilized forces cannot arrange an airlift of supplies to save the people of Al-Fashir, and it also fails, for months, to move part of the forces massed in the Kordofan axis...
These statements by Minawi and Abu Numu are a sense of danger, considering that the fall of Al-Fashir means the end of their political careers, as the fall of Al-Fashir means that all of Darfur is in the hands of the Rapid Support Forces, and therefore the Minawi and Jibril movements and other Darfuri movements lose their political incubator, and the men of Britain from civilians and armed movements are in an unenviable situation, and the men of America from the leaders of the army, the Rapid Support Forces, and the movements allied with them tighten their grip on the reins of power in Sudan.
It is truly unfortunate that people in Al-Fashir and other places are dying of hunger or by bullets in implementation of America's plans to fragment Sudan with the support of some of its sons from the military and civilians for the sake of fleeting power and dilapidated chairs. It is the duty of the sincere people of Sudan to work with Hizb ut-Tahrir to unite Sudan, and indeed all Muslim countries, in the second rightly-guided caliphate according to the method of Prophethood, which will cut off the hand of America and other colonizing infidels from tampering with our country and our resources.
