Al-Radar: The Juba Agreement is a Heinous Quota System and an Encouragement to Rebel Against the State's Authority
By Professor Ghada Abdel-Jabbar (Um Awab)
The Governor of Central Darfur State, Mustafa Tambour, responded to the statements made by the chief negotiator of the Juba Agreement for Peace in Sudan, Muhammad Bashir Abu Numu; the former Minister of Minerals, regarding the percentages of power-sharing, stressing that what Abu Numu said "confirms his ignorance of the texts of the agreement," as he put it. Tambour said: "We affirm that we did not ask for a gift from anyone, and we never ran after power. Our covenant with the people is to end the rebellion and triumph for their will."
This statement comes in the wake of an article published by Abu Numu, in which he refuted what he described as "misconceptions" about the Juba Agreement, pointing out that the armed movements that were later attached to the agreement, including Tambour's movement, do not deserve a share of the specified percentage (25%) for power-sharing, because they were not among the original signatories or active military actors before the signing.

Conflicts in Sudan are renewed, formed, and transformed. Since the alleged independence, the country has gone through sectarian, regional, and ethnic conflicts, some of which were wars under the banners of holy jihad, before ending with the separation of Sudan's treasure, a third of which is rich in resources and wealth. Then came the post-Salvation government conflict between America's agents and Britain's agents, including the current war, where these bloody conflicts have destroyed everything, and wasted many capabilities and wealth, not to mention the destruction and devastation that befell facilities and the country's infrastructure. But the greatest loss is the lives and sanctities of Muslims that were violated, for no reason except to implement the agenda of the disbelieving colonial countries coveting our country, and what is more bitter is that the conflict occurs at the hands of our sons!
After being nominated to become a food basket for the world, it has become a burden on the disbelieving colonizer whose interests drive him and who does not respect any bond or covenant with the Muslims of Sudan. Rather, the disbelieving colonizer who usurped the authority of the Ummah through his agents in the Muslim countries, has turned the issue of authority and usurped sultanate into an international arena of conflict, so the circles of the disbelieving colonizer came out creating rebellion after rebellion, using the rulers of the Muslims, and the agent neighboring countries, and thus the most popular industries in our country was the industry of agents, who multiply and reproduce in a sequential manner, wear suits and elegant ties, and come out talking about demands for the right of the marginalized and the oppressed! They lie and believe their lies, they are managed by embassies, and they feed on the failure of the agent rulers, and all of them thereby turn the usurped authority of the Ummah into an international arena of conflict that leaves no sanctity for the people of the country, in order to consolidate the influence of their masters; America and Europe.
Thus, the usurped authority of the Ummah has turned into an arena of quotas and conflict over revenue-generating ministries, and they are corrupt and thieves, demanding to be entrusted with the state's revenues while they are fighting over it, threatening, and raising Othman's shirt; the rights of the marginalized!
Here are the armed movements brandishing their swords in the face of Al-Burhan and his Prime Minister Kamel Idris, and threatening to withdraw from their alliance with him in his war with the Rapid Support Forces unless they have a share in the cake of power, which they acquired as stipulated in the Juba Agreement!
Quotas in power and wealth are the basis of the Juba Agreement, in order to satisfy the rebels, and behind them their masters, by involving them in the government. Therefore, they gave them 25% of the ministries; that is, five ministers, three members of the Sovereignty Council, and representation of 25% of the Legislative Council, which is 75 seats out of a total of 300 parliamentary seats.
Therefore, the Juba Agreement brought armed movements to ministries such as the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Minerals, so their armies swelled, their equipment increased, and they were paid hefty salaries paid from the blood of the people of Sudan.
One of the most important clauses that have been implemented from the Juba Agreement is the assumption of positions by leaders of the armed movements in the Sovereignty and Ministerial Councils, and in the executive state apparatus. As for the rights of the marginalized, they did not reach their owners, but the mass of the marginalized swelled, so most of the people of Sudan became in displacement and refugee camps, while they are fighting over power and wealth!
A sinister agreement like the Juba Agreement must be repealed because of the calamity and terrible evil that has befallen the country and its people. Rather, the sincere people of power and strength must restore the Ummah's usurped authority, to establish the rule of Islam; the Rightly Guided Caliphate according to the method of Prophethood, which puts the correct concepts of governance into application and implementation, ends quotas in governance, and uproots the influence of the disbelieving colonizers from the Muslim countries.
