French newspapers: Sudanese army kills hope of democratic transition

Some French newspapers expressed the disappointment of the Sudanese and the world about a democratic and peaceful transitional period after the military disbanded the sit-in of the army's violent leadership, killing dozens and injuring more than 100.

The French newspaper Liberation said masks had fallen into a peaceful transition of power. It appeared that the generals who had ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir from power were neither serious nor willing to hand over power to civilians despite negotiations.

She added that the commander of the rapid support forces, Muhammad Hamdan Duklu (Hamidati) did not intend to protect the protesters, despite his promise, but all of them contributed to the killing of some of the protesters and resolved any solution to the political crisis in the foreseeable future.

Khartoum yesterday appeared to be a besieged city, patrolled by vehicles of fast-support forces forming an army within the army, where they were firing into the air in deserted streets to intimidate people.

Internet disconnected
Access to the Internet has been blocked across the country, while activists have been able to bypass censorship and post videos on social networks, and some residents have been rushing to build new barriers or burn tires in their neighborhoods, according to Liberation.

"It is one of the strangest paradoxes of the Arab Spring that the ballot boxes become the weapon of choice for dictators, as in Sudan and Algeria, because the people know very well that The vote organized by the old regime will inevitably lead to the confiscation of power.

The newspaper Le Monde said that the head of the military council, General Abdel Fattah Burhan, dropped his mask in the early hours of Tuesday, when he canceled on national television all the negotiations with the civil opposition regarding the transfer of power and the organization of a transitional period of three years and replace them With elections in the coming months.

Divisions
Le Monde points out that civilians appeared divided in exchange for the military, and that although they hoped to continue negotiations with the junta to reach an agreement on a transition capable of removing Sudan from its destructive triangle (the military, Islamists and businessmen), the dismantling of the sit-in closed the door. There are negotiations, but a spiral of violence.

It concluded that the current movement reflected the restoration of the old regime with a slight change in the country's head, although in the end it was related to the success of the military junta in imposing its will on all units of the Sudanese armed forces.

The newspaper pointed out that there are two obstacles to this attempt, namely the internal rivalry between the armed forces, including within the army, and the readiness of the civil movement to follow up what the Sudanese Congress Party leader Omar al-Saghir expressed the beginning of "a new episode of the Sudanese people's revolution" "He said.

Le Monde says sources close to the protest movement warn that these events will increase extremism among the population. "We will start from scratch, but this time it will be very difficult," Le Monde said.

The MediaBart website said that the Sudanese army - boycotted by the sit-in and any negotiations on the transfer of power - revealed his plan to keep it and put an end to this new popular revolution that worries his mother in the Gulf.

Break the sit-in
The site pointed out that the method of dismantling the sit-in appeared in front of the cameras violent and without justification, according to British Ambassador Irfan Siddiqui, who saw a heavy bullet at his residence in Khartoum.

He said that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE had pushed some Sudanese opposition leaders to think that these three countries were behind the generals' "counterrevolution", especially since none of these countries wanted to see a democratic transition prevail in the region.

The site provided evidence of what Anwar Gargash, the UAE's deputy foreign minister, said when he said last month, "We wish Sudan a systematic transition ... We have a whole mess experience in the region.

He asked the site at the end of his article, is (disbanding the sit-in) is the advice or the command received by the Sudanese military officials who rotated last month to visit the Gulf ?, in reference to the visit of Hamidati to Saudi Arabia and visit the proof to Egypt and the UAE after.
