1. A saying attributed to Saint-Juste: “Those who make revolutions by halves do nothing but dig their own tombs.“ What applies to Egypt and Syrian, applies to Sudan.
2. The call by two Sudanese trade unions for a general strike must be supported.
3. The general strike must go beyond stopping the economic machine and challenging the military; it must create organs of power. A crucial revolutionary action the revolting Sudanese did not create two years ago.
4. The compromise with the military was a plunder.
5. No trust in the foreign powers that call for the release of “the civilian leaders.” They are for a compromise and ‘peaceful’ arrangement. They are the same powers supporting the Egyptian dictatorship and supported the recent coup in Bolivia. The same powers that talk about ‘civilian rule”, send the IMF and the World Bank to prolong the life of the current regimes and perpetuate the conditions that breed social conflicts, uprisings, migration, etc.
My comment from July 2019:
The deal with the military means that the uprising has stopped short from becoming a revolution; it means that the balance of forces has tilted more than ever since the begining of the uprising towards the military leadership and genocidal militia; it means a win for the regional reactionary forces such as the Egyptian regime and the monarchies of Saudi Arabia and the UAE; it means that the opposition has not been able to split the army, produce a revolutionary figure and create revolutionary organisations that could continue the struggle.
