The Government of Sudan Makes the Country a Functional State that Serves the Interests of America for Free

(Translated)

The US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, visited Sudan and met with the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Finance, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, representatives of the Ministry of the Interior and the National Security and Intelligence Service, as well as the Chargé d'affaires at the Sudan Embassy in America. He also met a number of Religious leaders in a closed session, and then gave a lecture at the Martyr Hall of the University of the Holy Quran and Islamic Sciences, speaking about the American policy towards Sudan, where the most important points that he focused on were two things: the first one is, to submit a plan to promote religious freedom in Sudan, proposing a round table to discuss issues of religious communities. And the second point, to sever relations with Korea. This is in addition to the old American directives called the five tracks; which the United States has requested the Sudanese government to implement: peace in Sudan, continuing efforts to combat terrorism, facilitating humanitarian access to areas controlled by arms holders (South Kordofan and Blue Nile), contribution to peace in southern Sudan and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) issue.

The visitor has clearly come with new instructions to be implemented by the Government of Sudan, and it is clear that the list is long and will not end, as America has made Sudan one of its states or a functional state with a task of serving American interests in the region without regard to the sovereignty of the state. The Government of Sudan, had implemented all America’s requests, on the illusion of lifting Sudan from the so-called list of countries sponsoring terrorism, but here is the Deputy Secretary of State of the United States carrying in his visit these new requests, in addition to the previous ones!

Perhaps we should ask: what is the interest of the people of Sudan in these files, in which the Government of Sudan offers great services to America? What do the people of Sudan have to do with the Korean issue? Or fighting the LRA? Or helping America in the failed state?

The situation has proved, by irrefutable evidence from reality and history that the people of Sudan have nothing to do with the relations of the regime in Sudan with America or the implementation of its agenda; Here it is, the pound collapses after the lifting of US economic sanctions directly and reaches the point of thirty pounds per dollar, and here is the Minister of Finance threatens to lift subsidies on bread, and the Minister of Health threatens to be unable to provide money for importing medicine, so what good has the people of Sudan have gained from lifting of the US embargo while the situation is getting worse?!

We in Hizb ut Tahrir (Wilayah of Sudan) spare no effort in showing the facts, asserting that America is a colonial state that cares only for its interests. We have shown this repeatedly before the secession of the South, and we continue to show this, but the Government of Sudan is defiant in implementing America's plans, to tear down the country, impoverish its people, loot its wealth, and then the exclusion of Islam from the rule and legislation. This confirms that the government is unable to provide an authentic alternative to the rule that would remove America’s control and solve the problems of the people of Sudan. We offer the people of Sudan this authentic alternative; it is Islam by its provisions and its state, the Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate on the method of the Prophethood, and the people of Sudan must work to establish it to attain the happiness of this World and the Hereafter. The Almighty says: )وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هُوَ قُلْ عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبًا(“And they say, "When is that?" Say, Perhaps it will be soon.” [Al-Isra: 51[
