Press Release
Liberation of Palestine Requires a Sincere Political Will that Binds Statements with Actions.... O President Bashir
(Translated)

President Al-Bashir, in a mass speech to the northern Sudanese city of Al-Golid, said on Sunday 17/12/2017: "All young men and women in Sudan are ready to defend the Palestinian issue". Directing his speech to US President Donald Trump, he wondered: "We say to Trump who gave you the right to give al Quds to the Jews?” In the same context, the Director of the Sudanese Security and Intelligence, Mohammed Atta al-Mawla, declared "the readiness of his forces to implement the decision of President Omar al-Bashir to protect al Quds and support of the Arab and Islamic peoples."

Since the occupation of Palestine by Jews in 1948, the Ummah has been hearing such empty speeches uttered when the sanctuaries of the Ummah are violated, its sanctities are desecrated, and its lands are occupied without seeing from the rulers of the Muslims what pleases Allah and His Messenger. The Ummah has been bored by these empty statements. If President Bashir is serious about his words, then why is he so late? And here is the head of the security agency removing doubt with certainty by stating the readiness of his soldiers. So, what prevents the decision now? Why do we hear cracking but see no grinding?! And why talk about the opening of training camps, and we have an army actively participating in the war in Yemen?! So, what is worthier and truer: training our sons to send them to defend the whole land of Palestine, or sending the army that is already prepared and trained? Which war is it obligatory to participate in; the war in Yemen, or the liberation of the land of Palestine, the land of Jihad and Ribat (protection)?

The president knows very well that he cannot move a single soldier except by a decision of the United Nations or the United States. So, Palestine has been abandoned, and the spirit of weakness, humiliation and despair spread in the hearts of the Muslims, with the weak and meagre positions of the rulers; the strongest of which are condemnation, rejection and denunciation!!!

The position of the Caliphs of the Muslims in the era of the Khilafah State were strong, clear and immediate in responding to the Ummah’s cries for their help. There he is, Al-Mu'tasim Billah, the Khaleefah (Caliph) of the Muslims, who said to the King of Rum when he captured woman, and she shouted! O Mu'tasim, O Islam! When the news reached Al-Mu'tasim, he said in his Council: Labaik, Labaik (at your service!), and he rose immediately and shouted to his attendants: Move forth! Move forth! Harun al-Rashid also wrote to the king of the Rome, Nicephorus, “from Harun, the Ameer of the believers to Nicephorus, dog of the Romans, I have read your letter, you shall behold my answer, before you hear it. Greetings.” Then here he is, the Khaleefah Abdul Hamid II, telling the Jews when they tried to bribe him with huge amount of money to sell Palestine for them, he said: “Let the Jews keep their millions. If the Islamic Caliphate is one day destroyed, then they will be able to take Palestine without a price. But while I am alive, I would rather push a sword into my body than see the land of Palestine cut and given away from the Islamic State. This will not be. I will not start cutting our bodies while we are alive.”

We in Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Sudan hold you responsible, O President, and hold you accountable based on your statement; enjoining the good and urging the establishment of the Truth. So, if you are sincere in your words, then affirm your words with deeds. You can support the blessed land of Palestine by a decision if you deny the national borders which the colonizer has set up to divide the Ummah and tear it apart, and you can support the land Blessed Palestine and if you renounce the deceptions of the colonizers America and its collaborators, and if you disbelieved their colonial institutions, the United Nations and the like, which have restricted and enchained Muslims countries. You can also support the blessed land of Palestine if you declare Khilafah Rashidah (righteous Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, that unites the Ummah and gathers it, and to achieve through it the glad tidings of the Prophet (saw). Without this your words would be just for eye wash, and part of a series of empty statements, pursued by Muslim rulers in all the fundamental issues of the Ummah after the demolition of the Ottoman Khilafah. The Ummah is waiting to see an act from you. Allah (swt) says:

﴿قُلِ انتَظِرُواْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ﴾

“Say, "Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting...” [ِAl-An’am: 158]
