US plans to invade Sudan

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِِ

 

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِيـنَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُم مِّن بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَن كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُون

 

“Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that of a certainty, He will cause them to accede to power on earth, as He granted it to those before them, that He will establish in authority their Deen which he has chosen for them, and that He will change (their state) after the fear in which they lived, to one of security and peace: They will worship Me (alone) and not ascribe powers to any beside Me” [TMQ 24: 55].

US plans to invade Sudan

 

Reports in the Emirates newspapers ‘Al-Khaleej’ on 1/05/2004, and ‘Al-Wifaq’ on 2/05/2004 indicate that the US is mulling over plans to send a 75,000-strong force to Sudan.

 

‘Al-Wifaq’ stated that ”the Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage told the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee that the US needs a 75,000-member peacekeeping force to intervene in various countries like Sudan”. Armitage added, “this program will cost about $100 million for the first year and $660 million over the five-year life of the program”.

 

In supporting this initiative, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz mentioned, ”this force could intervene in countries like Sudan, where civil war has led to the displacement of thousands of people”.

 

Clearly, such an announcement at this moment in time is primarily aimed at the Sudanese government ― pressing them to further compromise and withdraw ― during the so-called peaceful (or rather, treacherous) negotiations in Nifasha, where the government has already conceded ground on numerous points. Ultimately, the result will be more division of the land and further exploitation of the resources.

 

The actions by both the government and the opposition in order to appease the US are nothing but treachery towards Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) and His Messenger (salallahu alayhi wasallam) and the subjugation of the country and the people’s rights.

 

While the American envoys are traversing the land from east to west, acting as if they are the real rulers of the country, they are, in reality, preparing for the invasion of Sudan. The outcome will be just as it was in Iraq where they spread corruption, tortured and frightened away thousands of Muslims, exploited the resources, disgraced mosques, destroyed houses, and abused prisoners with the most horrific and disgraceful physical treatment, and continue to do so.

 

This is due to their blind crusade of hatred regarding which Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) said:

 

وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

"They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand" [TMQ 3: 118].

 

Oh Muslims of Sudan!

 

Following this press release, is it possible for any believer or sane person amongst you to accept this reality and keep silent over this blatant American and Western interference in our affairs?

 

By Allah! if we remain indifferent and consent to what is happening we will be allowing the Kuffar to do in Sudan exactly what they are doing to our brothers in Iraq.

 

The work obliged upon us, in order to secure our land form the danger of American invasion, is to strive to make Islam the foundation of our life and ruling system through the re-establishment of the righteous Khilafah State, which will reinvigorate the Muslim forces so that they decisively confront the US and other disbelieving Western countries, thereby protecting our blood and safeguarding our honour.

 

The Messenger of Allah (salallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

 

إنّمَا الإِمَامُ جُنّةٌ. يُقَاتَلُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ. وَيُتّقَىَ بِهِ

“Indeed, the Imam is a shield behind whom the Muslims fight and protect themselves.” [Muslim]
