Khartoum - Al Jazeera Net
A sad day has been resolved for many Sudanese, wrapped in a dark mourning dress. Instead of receiving congratulations by Eid al-Fitr, Khartoum continues to receive news of rising numbers of people killed in the sit-in.
The Sudanese people were divided between those who celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday and the union of professionals. Others celebrate it Wednesday, according to the official Fiqh Academy.
According to activists of the Freedom and Change Declaration, the Fiqh Academy is one of the state's deepest institutions. Therefore, it issued a "political fatwa" stating that the crescent of the month of Shawwal was not proven to suggest the independence of the decisions of the Transitional Military Council.
This position led the opposition forces to consider the fatwa as not binding on them, and therefore they broke and performed the absent prayer on the lives of their comrades in many areas of the capital Khartoum and the cities of the regions.
For its part, the "rapid support" forces broke up crowds of worshipers in different parts of the capital.
The Eid prayer was confined to the majority of the population of Khartoum in gatherings close to the houses. Some of them were keen to meet on the morning of Eid to pray in famous squares such as the fields of birth and mosques of the capital, such as the Khatmiyah mosque in Khartoum and the Ansar mosque in Wadi Noubaoui.
The Sudanese holiday this time came with blood and "without flowers," as Mughnin puts it in terms of the life of the Sudanese in the past.
It was a glorious festival in which the joy of the Sudanese society disappeared, but the gloom of the Eid this year was not the first in the era of the symbols of the regime of Omar al-Bashir. It reminds the fifteenth teacher Haidar Muhammad Ali of the tragedy of similar days when the rescue system executed dozens of officers participating in the The coup of Ramadan in 1990.

Barricades
"This is not the first time that Eid and Eid have come to us," Haydar Ali said. "Those who lived in the first days of the rescue remember that the execution of the Ramadan officers is very similar to the Janjaweed's taking of the blood of the fasting people on the 29th of Ramadan, which left a deep wound in the hearts of the Sudanese."
Haidar, a resident of the famous neighborhood of Shambat, contrasts his garden with what he used to do in the days of holidays and holidays, and the sadness and anger that appears on the faces of this holiday.
"The holiday was a celebration of sadness without smiles or visits like those we had on previous holidays, because the barriers that angry youths put on the roads made the movement almost impossible between neighborhoods of the capital," he said.
Nasr al-Din al-Tayeb, one of the stranded people, like a large number of people who used to travel for the Eid holiday with their families in the provinces, feels Eid holiday as a "prison" because the barricades in the streets cut off the capital from the provinces and forbade him to travel. .
A mixture of eloquence and determination seems to be on the eyes of the children of Sudan, who we thought were unaware of what had happened, but you heard their intermittent screams in the streets demanding revenge and civil rule, while their parents watched television as if they were practically entering the civil disobedience called for by the revolutionary forces and strengthened by the authority of the Council Military action by deliberately cutting off the Internet for all of Sudan.
Surprised by the military leaders' escalation of the crisis during the Eid, political analyst Omar Abu Harraz said that "breaking the sit-in with violence has disappointed many in the army's position on the revolution."
He added that the violence against the peaceful protesters was a serious mistake that will push the youth of change to more perseverance for the real overthrow of the regime, because the removal of the sit in front of the streets of the General Command made him move to Sudan's provinces.
