00:02:21.240
forward when you come to london please please be our guest to come to the studio but let's get into
00:02:25.320
something more serious inshallah um which is what's going on in sudan um i'll tell you firstly from my
00:02:31.680
perspective as a public figure and i'm sure you're a public figure as well yourself um people have been
00:02:36.480
telling me why you're not talking about it why you're not talking about it please talk about it
00:02:39.620
and i don't know if you feel like this and you can give me some advice as well about
00:02:43.380
you know from this from a different perspective because genuinely i'll be honest with you
00:02:47.040
sometimes you know i when jumping on certain stuff it's it's sometimes i ask myself a question
00:02:54.140
ali why are you doing what you're doing yeah and i really get stuck sometimes where i'm like okay
00:03:00.340
am i jumping on this because i'm a public figure and i have to talk about it and which is there's truth
00:03:06.380
to that which i have to but sometimes i question my sincerity why am i doing this or i'm being
00:03:12.660
encouraged to do it am i doing it because people are telling me to do it or of course we should all
00:03:16.820
talk about that's that's a given but sometimes i really i'm in this moral sincerity like i really
00:03:23.360
i don't know if it's from shaitan i don't know if it's shaitan making making me overthink this
00:03:26.600
more than it is but i genuinely sometimes you know these things become fashion you know i see people i'm
00:03:32.600
not trying to blame anyone i'm not saying it's blameworthy like people um making dua for them
00:03:37.600
with a camera on etc like and i accept that i i believe it's a very honorable thing to do
00:03:43.240
i just feel like sometimes i don't know i don't know i'm a bit lost for words but what i'm just
00:03:47.480
saying is in a nutshell is that when things like this happen people jump on it becomes like a fashion
00:03:52.460
it becomes like a trend and i feel like it's sometimes it's sad because this human life that's
00:03:59.300
been lost you know and sometimes i don't know if you have that yeah but i've been feeling a bit like
00:04:04.920
that like and and what advice would you give me because i get stuck i'm like should i do a video
00:04:08.920
or should i hate it in my heart and be like make dua again sincerely do i have to see it on camera
00:04:13.320
do you get do you get what i'm trying to say no no i understand what you're saying 100 and i think
00:04:17.480
what it is is that the fear is is that you're jumping on the bandwagon yes because you're trying
00:04:21.680
to get clicks and likes thank you to watch the video because everybody's talking about it and you
00:04:25.820
feel the need but i think ali like you're like you mentioned you are a public figure you have
00:04:30.240
alhamdulillah a very big uh subscriber base and uh social media footprint and it's important that
00:04:36.640
we learn and we explain about these topics to muslims because otherwise if we're not explaining
00:04:42.080
it unfortunately what tends to happen is then you get non-muslims that then try to present the false
00:04:47.400
picture of what's actually occurring so for instance there are many people out there many christians
00:04:51.920
many you know far-right individuals that try to give this as though this is a civil war this is a
00:04:57.560
genocide against christians in darfur uh or in sudan which is completely false and this has been
00:05:04.820
done by you know quote-unquote islamists or people who are islamic and that's completely far from the
00:05:11.180
truth and unfortunately if we don't challenge these stereotypes we don't challenge these misconceptions
00:05:16.260
these lies these propaganda then unfortunately they start to stick in the minds of a lot of people
00:05:21.320
and and i think you know you're right to a certain extent which is that we can't be experts in
00:05:25.920
everything so that's where you know inshallah whether it's myself or other brothers we try to go out to
00:05:32.000
those people that we know who are experts who may understand the top topic area you know better that
00:05:37.220
we go to them and we ask them questions and that's what i've certainly been doing regards to what
00:05:41.580
the current situation of sudan is yeah same i mean allah says in the quran if you don't know ask
00:05:46.120
somebody that knows that's the reason i've come to you i mean let's get straight into it and that
00:05:49.720
was a beautiful reminder because some of the shaitan comes to us you know we do want to do the
00:05:53.080
right thing in the right way you know and i guess you're right it is a responsibility upon me to talk
00:05:57.480
about because i do have a platform so yeah maybe it's from shaitan but i just genuinely want to
00:06:01.420
sincerely do this you know and i ask allah that all of us all of us in the public sphere that we do
00:06:06.320
this for the right reason inshallah and allah accepts it from us but it's not something that's
00:06:09.320
a trend or a fashion for the clicks or the views so getting straight into it what is going on in
00:06:14.360
sudan where is this started from like if i'm not mistaken this has been going on for quite a good
00:06:19.200
couple of years that's right so it's look whenever we talk about civil war of any country it's always
00:06:25.780
complex there's going to be various complex factors that have resulted in you know population of the
00:06:32.060
same country starting to fight each other now when it comes to the issue of the current civil war in
00:06:36.540
sudan it started in the current situation in april 2023 so there was between two groups one's called
00:06:44.800
saf or the sudanese armed forces and the other group is called the rsf also known as the rapid
00:06:50.840
support forces the one who led the saf or the sudanese armed forces is a person called abdul fatah
00:06:56.860
al-burhan and the one who leads the rsf is somebody who's properly known as hamatti yeah or muhammad hamdan
00:07:04.320
so these are two individuals now what's interesting is that both of them were actually part of the
00:07:10.460
leadership in the government of sudan so abdul fatah al-burhan he was the the leader of sudan
00:07:17.300
in an interim military government and hamatti he was vice president or vice leader of the country
00:07:24.560
and so i think really the question is why why did they fight each other what's what's this war
00:07:30.600
really about and like i said there's a lot of complex factors that requires a bit of knowledge about
00:07:35.480
history and about what's going on but fundamentally we need to look at maybe of very briefly we need
00:07:42.340
to look at 2019 so in sudan in 2019 there was popular uprisings popular protests not violent
00:07:50.860
there were peaceful protests that took place across sudan in which they called for the removal of umar
00:07:56.920
al-bashir who was the leader of sudan and he'd been the leader since 1989 and these protesters didn't
00:08:04.080
just demand the removal of umar al-bashir who was seen as this autocratic oppressive ruler but also the
00:08:10.700
military regime that he represented so they were trying to call for the end of the military regime
00:08:16.100
and so after the protest umar al-bashir was removed and then an interim process took place where they had
00:08:24.160
military leaders people like abdul fatah al-burhan and also civilian rulers or civilian politicians
00:08:32.680
and they came together in 2019 2020 and then in 2021 so about a year or 18 months later there was
00:08:41.060
meant to be a full transition of power so there was meant to be transition from this interim military
00:08:46.180
civilian government to a fully civilian government then what happened is that abdul fatah al-burhan the
00:08:51.660
head of the sudanese armed forces then did a coup against the civilian government or the civilian
00:08:57.640
part of the interim government and he removed uh the prime minister and all the civilian politicians
00:09:03.880
from power and took complete leadership and that's when he became the leader and hamedti the head of
00:09:09.340
the rsf became his vice leader and then after about another year or 18 months they said they'll have a
00:09:15.580
fully transitional government to a civilian government and that was meant to take place in
00:09:20.280
april 2023 the same month that suddenly this fighting took place which then delayed and has
00:09:28.100
therefore been delaying this transitional government to a civilian government ever since so that's that's
00:09:34.020
just a very brief background there's even more details regarding this interesting so they uh were
00:09:40.500
uh joint forces they were joined in the beginning in the beginning that's right so what went wrong
00:09:48.660
so okay so maybe his question is who is the rsf and who is the sudanese enforcement what's their
00:09:55.680
relationship so like i said omar bashir when he was leader from 1989 to 2019 he was basically
00:10:02.660
effectively the face or the ruler of this military regime and unfortunately many of our countries have
00:10:08.900
military regimes like egypt is another example of this so when the protests took place they were calling
00:10:15.440
for the removal of omar bashir and the military regime now omar bashir what he did is that he used
00:10:23.160
people like the saf the sudanese armed forces and also the rsf as people that would support his
00:10:30.080
military rule now they betrayed him and did the coup against him now the real question is who is the
00:10:35.540
rsf because the rsf if you remember i don't know ali if you remember uh the janjaweed in the early
00:10:42.000
2000s and no uh during that period and the darfur crisis that took place i've heard of the name
00:10:48.260
janjaweed but i don't know what what's yeah so in the early 2000s there was basically rebellion that
00:10:54.360
took place in darfur and there's a whole background as to why this rebellion took place and a lot of it
00:10:59.960
comes down to the british colonial rule because britain colonized sudan and ruled over the country
00:11:06.060
and they created a system where they favored certain tribes in darfur over other tribes and
00:11:12.680
they excluded a lot of the arab uh or the ethnically arab tribes within the darfur region and this
00:11:19.360
created a lot of you know uh tribalism and uh you know tensions amongst these various groups and so
00:11:26.260
that and in addition to that there was a lot of gold mines and umar bashir who was the head of the
00:11:31.700
government basically didn't distribute the wealth and so therefore a large proportion of these people
00:11:36.360
were in poverty so you've got a lot of poverty you've got the military rule which is trying to
00:11:41.740
you know usurp all the wealth and also at the same time you've got this tensions this tribal tensions
00:11:47.900
that's taking place so rebellions started taking place so what umar bashir did is that he gathered
00:11:54.200
certain tribes namely mainly that the ethnically arab tribes and by the way these are not islamic
00:12:00.560
these people were not islamic whatsoever in fact if you go to the wikipedia article about the rsf
00:12:06.620
they call themselves anti-islamists yeah these are jahil people yeah these are jahil people yeah
00:12:13.800
and we can see what they did so throughout the 2000s they were supported by umar bashir
00:12:18.300
to put down these rebellions and they would go to villages after villages raise the village
00:12:24.440
kill the men and unfortunately dishonor the women and these by the way these are
00:12:30.400
muslims yeah so the people the african daforian tribes that they were doing this against the
00:12:37.280
people who rebelled against umar bashir they were muslims they weren't non-muslims they weren't
00:12:41.860
christians they were muslims yeah and so they were going around dishonoring and the word by the way
00:12:47.520
ali the word gingerweed it comes from two words and it means jinn on horseback so these gingerweeds
00:12:55.440
basically were calling themselves devils on horseback oh so this is this is the rsf right
00:13:02.420
this is this so later the gingerweed then got incorporated by umar bashir and were called the
00:13:07.640
rsf so the other so the other party was called what they are called sudanese armed forces so are they
00:13:14.960
are they like muslims and well i know they're both muslims but are they um not as yeah so they're
00:13:21.680
muslims so sudanese armed forces you know generally muslims and but unfortunately they benefited by
00:13:29.600
continuing the military rule because the military would then monopolize on a lot of the wealth a lot
00:13:35.360
of the gold resources uh the limited amount of oil resources that they had they had a lot of oil
00:13:40.860
resources but when the south of sudan which is now a christ which was a uh majority christian area
00:13:46.880
when they rebelled basically and they were supported by america and other western states
00:13:52.420
then they basically created their own country now that country is called the south sudan so you've
00:13:58.280
got sudan which is one country and south sudan as another country and that only was created in 2011
00:14:03.960
so this is the case so basically sudan the sudan and south south sudan are christians
00:14:09.460
south sudan is now like christian majority country yeah so the war is part of sudan the war is
00:14:14.880
happening there or not happening there no no that's now completely out of it they're no longer
00:14:18.960
involved they have their own problems yeah okay perfect so this firstly dispels because if it if
00:14:24.760
the issue is sudan which they the fire is trying to use against christians or whatever it is for that
00:14:29.040
matter they're calling they would have attacked south sudan right that's right that's right so it's
00:14:33.760
got enough to do with christian muslim yeah so there are some christians in in regular sudan now that
00:14:39.520
we see today but they're like a couple of percent two three percent maybe uh they're not that many
00:14:44.740
in sudan and that area of darfur is predominantly islamic and i'll show you a map regards to that so
00:14:51.060
that you can show to the audience the demographics the religious demographics of the areas and you can
00:14:56.780
see very clearly from the map that the area of darfur the area of khartoum and sudan they're predominantly
00:15:02.840
muslim yeah while you're doing that i want to share a video with i want to quickly just go to one
00:15:06.800
video just to react to it uh one second one second let me just show you i want you to watch this is a
00:15:16.340
a woman um in a hijab rsf forces or whatever like literally um commanding to the the great rape of um
00:15:26.360
woman um let me just send it to you yeah there she is i want you to just watch this with me inshallah
00:15:31.480
i'm just going to send it to you on your whatsapp and just quickly watch it let's let's just quickly
00:16:10.240
okay so here you have a woman in hijab who is saying go there and cleanse their lineage
00:16:16.240
which is basically talking about raping women and other muslims so you what you said about rsf it
00:16:23.280
they are they sound like these satans on horses with all due respect or jinns whatever you want
00:16:28.000
to call them um how does this make you feel like looking at this seeing a muslim woman in hijab
00:16:34.800
commanding i don't know what her duties i don't know if she's a commander i don't know what she's for
00:16:38.000
that matter commanding um subhanallah the rape of other muslim women i know it's absolutely disgusting and
00:16:43.760
this is the problem of tribalism this is a problem of the lack of islam this is ignorance and jahlia
00:16:49.360
yeah complete absolutely utter jahlia and you know is it's very hard for us to understand how muslims
00:16:57.040
can act this way but i think what we have to realize is that you know these people are completely you know
00:17:03.920
away from islam and the actions are completely you know utterly reprehensible something that you know
00:17:09.760
you know we all condemn absolutely and utterly um you know and so you know this is it's very clear
00:17:17.680
regards to the complete you know disgusting nature and unfortunately this is this is the reality of
00:17:24.480
unfortunately of how the governments of our lands have been using these types of individuals and these
00:17:30.080
types of groups and militias to create this type of chaos within the muslim world so yeah
00:17:36.160
subhanallah it's it's really really sad um you said uh the british once again has its hands in
00:17:42.960
um uh you know this chaos and unrest and you did say that there were south sudan there's christians
00:17:48.240
what they're free percent uh population free so is the christian population of south sudan obviously
00:17:54.000
they're the majority in that new country called south sudan and obviously like i said the the british
00:17:59.920
themselves they've they've had the role see when the british came they colonized sudan so it was in the late
00:18:05.360
19th century early 20th century sudan only got its independence in 1956 from the british who were
00:18:11.760
effectively the rulers of that country it was like a so they were effectively the rulers but what they
00:18:17.040
did in place like darfur darfur used to have like a system where the under the darfur sultanate they
00:18:24.080
before the british they would allocate lands to various tribes but it wasn't a permanent allocation
00:18:29.280
but rather it was simply a way to decentralize the collection of taxes and administer you know
00:18:35.200
any disputes etc but what the british did is they created something called native administration
00:18:40.320
where they gifted lands to loyal tribes or loyal clans that were loyal to the british and because
00:18:47.360
of that they created a system where they created tribalism and tension amongst the various tribes and
00:18:53.600
that lasted for generations and so what we're now seeing is some of the fruits of that in the same way
00:18:58.960
we saw the fruits of south sudan breaking away because what the british did because the british allowed
00:19:04.880
christian missionaries to go into south sudan to convert like the the local population who weren't muslim
00:19:11.520
they were following various local african religions they allowed them to go into south sudan convert the christian
00:19:17.840
convert them into a christian population but also prevented muslims from going and spreading the islamic doubt in this region
00:19:24.800
so this is when the british were in charge because they wanted to create a loyal population of christian
00:19:30.720
sudanese that therefore they could use to secure their interest that would be more loyal to them than to the
00:19:36.960
wider majority muslim population of sudan interesting so can i so we've made it clear so the way the
00:19:44.080
reason why these people are so ruthless like you know the other parties so you've got the um sudanese
00:19:49.440
defense defense was sudanese armed forces yeah sudanese armed forces yeah so are they moving because
00:19:55.680
all i'm seeing is the rsf are committing all these atrocities and this is this ethnic cleansing i
00:20:01.600
think we can even call it a genocide if i'm not mistaken yeah that's right yeah yes it's and i mean
00:20:05.440
that's what it is and we are hamdulillah morally consistent in this matter and we are you know we're
00:20:08.720
not we're not you know we don't um you know just we're not um strategically consistent we're morally
00:20:13.600
consistent as muslims and the west has exposed itself with the whole zionism and what's going on and i'm
00:20:18.080
always surprised if zionists have a hand in this as well so with the um sudanese armed forces have
00:20:22.880
they been doing committing atrocities like this or are they like because i don't know what's going
00:20:26.400
on is this only happening from the rsf and if so what's what differentiates them because they're
00:20:31.280
both tribal is one following the correct way of islam and the other one's whooped idea of tribalism
00:20:36.400
what so yeah yeah so like i say it's a complex situation because when the janjaweed were being used
00:20:45.040
by umar bashir who was the ruler and he was therefore he was the ruler of the saf they're not
00:20:50.720
a tribe they're like the sudanese armed forces yeah and he would also be the ruler over the janjaweed
00:20:55.760
and he was directing them or the rsf as they later became known then he was using both the rsf
00:21:01.680
or the janjaweed with the sudanese armed forces so both of them were committing atrocities they were
00:21:06.640
supporting the atrocities that were taking place now the reason why he needed the janjaweed or the rsf is
00:21:11.760
because they were also busy with the civil war that was taking place in south sudan and so therefore
00:21:16.560
they needed uh like a local militia and this is how they used the janjaweed or the rsf you know abdul
00:21:23.200
fatah al-burhan who's now the head of the sudanese armed forces was actually a commander of the sudanese armed
00:21:28.960
forces in darfur and worked with the rsf so while the rsf was doing this this is before april 23rd i'm
00:21:36.240
talking about before the 2019 protests that took place before that he was the commander of the
00:21:42.640
armed forces in darfur so it's very hard to differentiate between the the the crimes that
00:21:49.200
the rsf did with the crimes of omar bashir who was in power and also the crimes of the sudanese armed
00:21:54.640
forces now at the moment you know the reality is is that the only people that are likely to protect
00:22:01.200
the muslims in the whole region are the sudanese armed forces but this is where the problem gets
00:22:07.600
you know even more complex because a lot of outside powers that are influencing and prolonging the civil
00:22:14.960
war so as an example of this this city al-fashir which is the main city of darfur and it's the reason
00:22:24.080
why this is becoming the media to recently in the last week or so is because it got taken by the rsf for
00:22:30.720
for 500 days it withstood many of the local rebel militias joined with the saf joined with saf
00:22:37.840
sudanese armed forces and fought against the rsf and they actually prevented them from entering the
00:22:43.840
country the rs but what happened was that there was a conference between four countries america sudan
00:22:52.480
egypt and the uae and then two days later after this conference the sudanese armed forces
00:22:59.680
withdrew its troops from defending al-fashir this is something that even abdul fatah al-burhan the head
00:23:06.320
of the armed forces of sudanese armed forces he admits to he said that yeah we did this because
00:23:11.440
in his words we thought we were going to protect the civilians by removing them but what happened it left
00:23:18.080
the city defenseless and as a result the rsf came in murdered and killed many of the men forced them
00:23:25.680
to dig their own graves and then crawl into these graves while they were being buried now the bill
00:23:30.240
yeah astaghfirullah al-adhim and then raped unfortunately or you know um assaulted the women
00:23:37.920
en masse you know so it's quite disgusting so so it seems like there's the head of the armed forces
00:23:43.440
sorry come there is no islamic like i'm looking at this and i'm thinking you know i mean only the
00:23:47.680
far right and these maniacs would agree on what they're doing they both would i mean i think one
00:23:51.680
thing in common will be like your likes of you know tommy robinson and his cronies like liam tough and
00:23:58.000
whoever they are the only two people that would agree that what they're doing is islamic is
00:24:02.320
both the rsf and the far right there was a yeah this is islamic no even the rsf don't do you see
00:24:07.200
the rsf don't justify what they're doing is islamic they're not like you know some of these other
00:24:12.080
quote-unquote groups who try to justify it based so so so so they don't believe not that they don't
00:24:19.680
believe in islam they don't believe that they need to justify this in any way from any scripture or text
00:24:25.440
so they're just doing it basically they're basically saying yeah we're just doing it yeah yeah remember
00:24:30.000
like i said they consider themselves quote-unquote anti-islamist yeah wow wow subhanallah
00:24:39.280
so i think the problem is is regards to this situation is that the saf are the only group that
00:24:43.680
could manage to defeat this rsf but unfortunately the type of leadership are the leadership that was
00:24:49.680
actually working with the rsf right before this rebellion or this civil war took place and so
00:24:56.000
that's why it's a very complex picture and like i said because you've now got outside powers
00:25:00.880
unfortunately supporting the two different factions particularly you know and i know it's a bit
00:25:06.400
controversial but particularly the uae sadly who are supplying weapons and arms to the rsf something
00:25:13.680
which the united nations leak document has exposed something that is you know weapons that have been
00:25:19.520
taken taken by the saf have the names of abu dhabi of uae well i was gonna ask you the armored vehicles
00:25:26.080
of the armored vehicles designed by uae yeah i was gonna ask you what are the evidences like because
00:25:31.600
people saying these allegations some people saying that the planes were landing because of the gold
00:25:36.400
trade or something like that so you're actually saying the u.n has um come out and said this is actually the
00:25:41.600
case yeah it's it's now become open look the uae used they actually paid for services of the rsf
00:25:50.160
to go and fight under their banner the uae banner in yemen so there is a very strong relationship between
00:25:57.200
the uae and the rsf this this you know devils on horseback yeah the shayateen so there's a very close
00:26:04.240
relationship between them and also people are saying that the reason why you are doing this is because it's
00:26:09.520
helps you know with the gold and gold mines because all the gold mines are predominantly within
00:26:15.120
darfur region as well as securing agricultural crops and food security as they say but unfortunately
00:26:21.600
uae have been acting in a way where anytime there's a popular protest anytime there's something which is
00:26:27.760
perceived as potentially going towards an islamic type of governance they've stepped in to be what
00:26:34.080
they call counter-revolutionaries meaning they're trying to stop people from calling for revolution
00:26:39.440
or calling for a change and remember this all started in the recent in 2019 when there were
00:26:45.920
popular protests where muslims of sudan you know throughout the region throughout the country were
00:26:51.600
calling for the end of military rule and the implementation of you know civilian based government
00:26:57.520
now they weren't telling you what type of civilian based government but sudan believe it or not
00:27:02.400
apart from these certain individuals and militias is a highly islamic or highly you know you know
00:27:07.760
they hold on to islam strongly so any type of civilian government is always going to be rooted in islamic
00:27:12.880
sentiment that's what you know that's and that is a concern for people who are concerned about
00:27:18.800
popular revolutions where islamic governance comes in and that potentially could spread throughout the
00:27:24.160
region as we saw in 2010 during the arab spring when there was uh protests and revolutions that took place
00:27:30.320
in tunisia within weeks it spread to egypt to libya to syria you know to even the protests in algeria to
00:27:38.000
yemen you know even in bahrain as well you know so there was so therefore you and other some of these
00:27:44.400
countries are concerned about a second form of popular uprisings i don't know how much detail you want to
00:27:52.080
go into it but there's leaked cable reports you know wiki leaks which leaked out these american cables
00:27:58.480
these secret discussions that took place with leaders one of them was muhammad bin zaid who's now
00:28:05.040
the current leader of uae who actually said that you know the middle east is not like california you can't
00:28:11.760
just simply hold elections and free and fair elections because they'll vote in the islamists there's
00:28:17.280
leak cables the way he said that and he said that in 2007 so even before the arab spring
00:28:22.880
so there's been an agenda in terms of trying to support uh some of the what they quote unquote the
00:28:28.720
secularists uh within these regions and maintain the status quo which is military rule within these
00:28:34.080
regions as well interesting but you know just one thing special maybe a little bit off topic but um
00:28:41.040
you know rebellion don't you feel like rebellion what's happening isn't it causing more harm because we
00:28:47.040
see now what's going on in sudan yeah i don't know maybe your stance might be a bit different to this
00:28:50.720
but like do you not think this is the reason why rebellion it's i mean it's it's so dangerous because
00:28:56.720
the thing is now look how the country is now like what was before and he might be ruling under somebody
00:29:01.680
who may have not been like you know up to notch or whatever it is but don't you think the harm is
00:29:06.960
great enough because we have been told like i know some there is the extreme where people take
00:29:10.080
this out of context where you know you cannot rebel in any way shape or form or uh you know but do
00:29:15.680
you not think it brings more harm so yeah so what we have to understand is that in 2019 they weren't
00:29:21.600
rebelling per se they were protesting and there were peaceful protests that took place i remember
00:29:26.080
also this is a period where the omar bashir was sending in the janjuid so prior to this he was sending
00:29:33.600
in the janjuid to basically wipe out uh villages so i'm not talking about now 2023 i'm talking about in
00:29:42.080
the 2000s so even before you know all of these protests that took place in 2019 these types of
00:29:49.600
actions were being taking place so we have this situation where unfortunately we have leadership
00:29:57.440
which doesn't represent what the sentiments are of the muslims and the umar people protest peacefully and
00:30:05.280
they're shot at and killed and the question is well what do you do do you just perpetuate
00:30:10.560
the systemic oppression and abuse that's taking place or do you try to speak out against it
00:30:15.920
it is muslims and remember also by the way um when the abraham accords came in this normalization
00:30:22.880
process we talk about uh uae and we talk about other countries but sudan was one of the people that signed
00:30:30.640
the normalization with israel as well and so oh really okay in south sudan or sudan what's that
00:30:38.720
south sudan or sudan sudan sudan not south sudan so sudan so sudan signed a normalization deal with
00:30:46.480
israel that's right so one second which which which come rsf or the uh the sudanese army armed forces so
00:30:53.200
this is when you had the interim government with the rsf with the saf and with civilian uh uh leadership as
00:30:59.840
well with this interim government that took place so that so that government before they did the uh
00:31:06.240
the cube that government was trying to normalize relation with um israel yeah and remember although the
00:31:14.080
prime minister was somebody called abdullah hamdak and he was part of quote-unquote the civilian coalition
00:31:19.520
the chairman so the guy who sits above him was abdul fattah al-burhan the head of the
00:31:25.680
the sudan sudan sudan's armed forces he was the chairman and he was the one that enacted
00:31:29.760
the coup so it's that's why i'm saying it's a very complicated situation and it's a situation
00:31:34.960
unfortunately with regards to what's happened there and the other countries and thought that have been
00:31:42.880
fueling the the civil war is very sad and the head of all of that is then america because something
00:31:51.200
that is widely well known something that even umar bashir who was a leader previous leader before
00:31:57.360
the coup even he mentioned that america's plan was to separate sudan into five different parts
00:32:03.840
south sudan became one part and darfur was going to be another part and now if you again if you look
00:32:10.080
at this map i'll show you the map if you look at the map you will see that the rsf controlled pretty
00:32:15.920
much the whole of darfur and the saf which is basically the sudanese government they're meant
00:32:20.880
to be the official government and the people officially in charge they control khartoum the
00:32:25.280
north and the east yeah so it's basically split the country in two and the reason why is because sudan
00:32:32.640
prior to 2011 was rich in oil was rich in gas was rich in gold had massive amounts of agricultural
00:32:40.240
fertile lands place like darfur and also gold and it had its own deep sea port port sudan so it's a
00:32:48.000
it's a rich country it's a you know resource-based rich country it was the biggest country in the whole
00:32:53.040
of africa as well before south sudan you know split from sudan so it's not a uh it wasn't a weak
00:33:00.800
per se country even though people look at sudan as being poor just been poorly managed and this is the
00:33:06.560
problem that we have is that yeah we're not calling for rebellion and we're not calling for
00:33:10.160
violent overthrow and to be honest muslims didn't call for violent when when april 2023 took place
00:33:16.800
this wasn't a violent overthrow because sincere muslims or muslims misguided and sincere tried to
00:33:22.400
overthrow the government it was the vice president and the president or the leader and the vice leader
00:33:28.720
who went to war with each other not the ordinary sudanese sudanese have never supported this this
00:33:34.400
civil war but rather they themselves who are colleagues who apparently you know worked together
00:33:40.480
and were friends they took their forces and started fighting each other so subhanallah once again the
00:33:46.560
zionist hands are in this because to me i'm so bamboozled like sudan was trying to normalize relations
00:33:54.720
with israel so to me this this shows me like i mean i don't know what kind of islam is in there it
00:34:01.040
it shows me there is i mean trying to normalize relation with israel so to me it seems like a
00:34:08.400
an effort that's going on and number one i think they're using this also to take the attention away
00:34:12.960
from the genocide that's happened in gaza it has to be strategically yes this was i think this was
00:34:17.440
happening after you know the damage that's been caused by the uh public opinion um you know what's
00:34:24.080
happening on the ground against the resistance um you know they're losing this battle on all grounds you
00:34:28.960
know the public opinion changing in america uh you know people are waking up and i think this is
00:34:34.480
another strategic move to divert attention and not only that for them to see that the sudanese
00:34:40.240
government were trying to normalize relations with israel that that tells me a lot of what's
00:34:45.920
literally going on there you know spanner this is so messy it is messy it's a very messy situation
00:34:51.520
like i said whenever country goes to war with itself there's always going to be mess and there's always
00:34:56.480
going to be different competing interests that's taking place and what doesn't help is outside
00:35:00.800
forces that do this and obviously the the whole project of israel and the greatest you know the
00:35:06.560
greatest state of israel all that type of thing greater israel part of its project is to weaken
00:35:11.360
any potential rival countries within the region whether that's you know uh egypt or sudan or any
00:35:17.520
other countries syria as we're seeing today is to weaken them so that they are the only dominant
00:35:23.440
power within that region and it's also the same position regards to the west and america and
00:35:28.000
britain britain prior but america now which is to weaken the muslim world to divide it to create these
00:35:34.320
you know um tribalistic nationalistic lines that can't heal the hearts and i think this is maybe
00:35:41.280
where we can look at you know we had similar situation during the time of the prophet sallallahu
00:35:45.920
alayhi wasallam in yathrib where the banu aws and banu khazraj fought wars with each other
00:35:51.600
and it was only when the islam that they actually realized that actually islam is the unifying factor
00:35:56.640
is this bond that can bring them together yeah yeah and that's what they feared the most i think
00:36:01.600
islam is a sleeping giant and they genuinely fear it they genuinely fear and they do not want
00:36:07.440
uh the uh you know the khilafah to come back that's something that they can clearly do and they're
00:36:12.560
they're doing it through god knows so many other means and you've got munafiqeen and spies and god
00:36:18.000
knows what subhanallah i mean so where do you see the direction going now you know just like kind of
00:36:23.440
maybe slowly wrapping up if there's anything else you want to say where do you think the direction
00:36:26.800
is going what can we do obviously there's humanitarian aid and etc whatever we can do but where do you think
00:36:32.000
the direction is going where do you think this is going to finish because it's horrific like the
00:36:35.520
stuff that i'm seeing genuinely like it's affecting my mental health and this might sound selfish but i cannot
00:36:41.200
watch it i i genuinely cannot watch it because it's it's very very disturbing so where do you
00:36:47.680
think this is heading towards and what can we do as muslims to protect our you know sudanese brothers
00:36:51.680
and sisters be the christian muslim whatever faith they are it's horrific look there's no easy solution
00:36:58.880
unfortunately and there's only limited things that we can talk about and try to do uh from ourselves
00:37:04.560
yeah but i think unfortunately where it's leading towards is a split in the country it's gonna there's
00:37:09.760
probably going to be potentially negotiations a ceasefire and a split where the rsf controls
00:37:16.000
darfur region and the saf will control and then you have split within sudan that's unfortunately a sad
00:37:22.640
situation what we can do i think i know again it sounds controversial but what we need to do
00:37:29.760
honestly and sincerely we need to expose the external actors in this the external countries that are funding
00:37:36.880
yeah and that are supporting you know the the type of chaos that's taking place
00:37:42.880
and that means to a certain extent we have to expose the uae because the uae are not just doing
00:37:48.800
this in sudan they did this with muhammad morsi in egypt where they they actually funded and supported
00:37:56.160
protests and then funded and supported sisi when he came to power and got rid of muhammad morsi we talk
00:38:02.080
about rebellion being haram yeah well that was a rebellion against an elected leader and yet they
00:38:08.160
rebelled against him and not only that but then they executed him you know under trumped up charges
00:38:14.240
and when the west sanctioned egypt uae and saudi unfortunately both of them bankrolled sisi's
00:38:22.000
government to allow them to remain in power they were doing this in yemen where they've set up you know
00:38:27.360
death squads to american mercenaries they've actually hired american mercenaries and also they
00:38:32.480
use the rsf to go into yemen they're doing this with a general hafta of libya where they've supported
00:38:40.080
him against what they call islamist groups and islamist organizations and in this country and in
00:38:46.800
the west they've been sadly funding islamophobic narratives against the muslims here calling for the
00:38:54.880
banning of you know islamic relief that's considered a terrorist organization in the uae and they call
00:39:01.760
for their banning in america you have care and they've called for their banning as well you know
00:39:07.520
and their care was the organization that brought sami hamdi recently yeah to do a speaking tour and he's
00:39:13.120
in prison yeah so i was going to talk about that as well subhanallah like yeah i was supposed to do a
00:39:17.360
video about that as well um yeah he's subhanallah what's going on is he being released
00:39:23.520
unfortunately he's probably going to be there for another week or so uh he's in detention but he's
00:39:28.960
challenging that detention from what i understand uh inshallah and uh what's the reason for his arrest
00:39:34.240
you know obviously we pray to allah subhanallah but i mean you know what i'm saying is that the rsf and
00:39:39.600
the civil war in sudan would have been over quite in a short period of time if there weren't outside
00:39:45.120
funders and backers and unfortunately it's because of the outside forces that are backed that prolonged
00:39:51.040
this civil war and allowed the rsf militia to have the arms and the weapons to undertake the massacres
00:39:56.400
that they have so it's a difficult decision and i understand it can be seemed controversial but
00:40:01.840
reality is is that we have to expose some of these organizations some of these countries
00:40:06.160
that are promoting this and become aware of what's going on and then obviously from our perspective
00:40:12.000
we have to make dua to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala as best as we possibly can as sincerely as possibly can
00:40:17.120
for the people of sudan that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala heals their hearts and removes this civil war
00:40:22.560
and the the devils that are you know engaged in the massacres that have taken place there so you know
00:40:30.000
that's what i would say is learn about the situation understand what's going on in the world today
00:40:34.400
because we don't understand what's going on in the world today then we're just going to get played
00:40:38.160
yeah we're just going to get you know one crisis after another crisis and you know ali one of the
00:40:43.600
biggest factors that weakens or creates doubts that i've come across amongst muslims yeah isn't
00:40:50.640
necessarily some of the theological arguments it's because when they look at the muslim world they say
00:40:56.000
if islam is so true then why is the muslim world in such chaos yeah yeah and so if you don't understand
00:41:03.040
what's going on that it's not actually the muslims or islam that's the problem here yeah it's not
00:41:08.160
islam you've got the lack of islam you yeah lack of islam not only that you've got zionists the one
00:41:13.120
the the greatest that's right i'm so sorry but they're the greatest mischief makers who have their
00:41:18.000
hands everywhere you know usss liberty you know you could call it conspiracy you call it wherever you
00:41:22.720
like you know jfk uh you know disappears 9 11 i'll be honest with you call it the americans are waking up
00:41:28.400
to this they have their hands everywhere i mean i'm so much so i would even say charlie kirk i mean
00:41:32.000
i found it so shocking when someone told me that benjamin netanyahu the satan he actually went on tv
00:41:39.120
and had to say oh we didn't kill charlie kirk and i was like wow yeah the fact that first time in
00:41:44.160
history that you have to go to a tv station be invited by the way it's all set up and the woman
00:41:49.680
says not that we believe in it but they're saying that you was involved and for him to say oh
00:41:54.240
to even reply and entertain that shows how the public opinion has swifted so shockingly
00:42:01.360
that benjamin netanyahu has to come on tv and say we didn't kill him by the way yeah and and and uh
00:42:07.280
candace owens is doing a fantastic job exposing and this is what it is you you claim islam is the issue
00:42:12.880
of muslims with all due respect islam ruled the half of the earth yes for centuries and the muslims
00:42:19.200
the christians lived side by side in peace yes so to to to say that islam is the problem it's not
00:42:25.520
it's those outside sources forces um and the the the them invading countries for their resources for
00:42:32.000
their political gains or whatever is what's causing the um instability you know and and i think that's
00:42:37.360
clear i think people are not buying it anymore you know this thing of islam and this the the west has
00:42:41.760
genuinely woken up to this reality yeah yeah that's a hundred percent i agree with you in terms of that
00:42:48.080
that people are waking up in terms of the fact that western interference and you know uh people with
00:42:55.040
ulterior motives are interfering within the muslim world and like i said the seeds of the tribalism
00:43:01.280
and the tension that created issues with regards to south sudan or darfur originally comes from the
00:43:07.040
british colonial rule when they colonized this area and it's been perpetuated by a military
00:43:12.480
dictatorship that sadly hasn't really made islam the source now obviously sudan and umar bashir claimed
00:43:19.600
that he wanted to implement islam but on the practical rulings of islam apart from a few rules like
00:43:25.840
some of the hadud rules he didn't implement islam in that in that sense so islam is not to blame
00:43:31.760
unfortunately we're still suffering from this post-colonial you know hang up that we've had
00:43:36.960
yeah yeah inferiority complex yeah so you're going to be doing a video about this if i'm not
00:43:41.600
mistaken you're going to go into that's right inshallah okay so any last words and guys you can
00:43:45.440
inshallah check out political alchemy inshallah it's a youtube channel uh where brother sharif goes into
00:43:50.320
details about these issues you can keep up to date it's very enlightening to know what's going on
00:43:54.400
i've learned a lot today any last words bro uh for the viewers and any advice for them what they can do
00:43:58.880
yes like i said make dua to allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that allah subhanahu wa ta'ala helps the
00:44:03.680
people of sudan uh you know where we can in terms of charity we need to give charity but also just to
00:44:09.600
understand what's going on is an action in itself and and therefore with that when you understand
00:44:14.960
what's going on you can counteract the lies especially from the pro-zionist shills who try to
00:44:19.840
say that this is you know muslims and islamists and people who want sharia attacking and killing and
00:44:24.960
genociding and acting according to their faith and we know exactly it's the complete opposite
00:44:28.800
of that that's occurring it's not against christians christians christians nothing to do
00:44:33.600
with christians it's not a christian genocide this is against muslims themselves and unfortunately
00:44:38.960
these forces that have been supported by outside forces that have been created you know that the
00:44:45.200
tensions and the issues have been created from outside forces from western interference that created
00:44:51.040
the environment for this to take place so that's my final words inshallah upon that thank you
