Military number: nine hundred and eighty-one, zero fifty-six. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=12) A Sudanese sergeant wishing to surrender to the army and the Popular Committees on the Jizan front, fleeing the aggressiveness of the Saudi regime and its brutal treatment. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=22) No one can tell you like an expert about the tragedy of the Sudanese and the grim reality of freedoms throughout decades of Bashir's rule. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=31) By God, my life in Sudan, of course, I grew up in the area of South Kordofan State, which is, of course, known in Sudan. There is a Darfuri region where battles are still taking place. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=43) That is a phase that most of the brotherly Sudanese people lived through, and some of them found themselves forced to defend the Saudi army in the far south of the Kingdom, under the pretext of protecting the Two Holy Mosques. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=56) They passed through an area in Sudan as well, where the Sudanese forces were stationed and trained. There were morale-boosting teams that talked about the war in Yemen and Saudi Arabia They wear people out, and those people there are loyal to the Kaaba too, [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=72) while you're here, going to defend the Two Holy Mosques. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=75) A strange paradox, nothing is stranger than the shock these soldiers feel when they are sent into deadly battles to defend the American project. There is no justification for the aggression against Yemen or legitimacy in killing its women and children, Sergeant Al-Sadiq confirms. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=93) I mean, when we came, there was no justification at all for the war on Yemen in the first place. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=96) We found that the Houthis are Yemenis, Yemenis, and these are their areas, of course. I mean, as Muslims, the supplies we received on the front were all American supplies. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=107) The weapons were American, the ammunition was American. We thought we were involved in a Zionist project. Besides, the Saudis also made us serve them while they weren't convinced by us as Sudanese either. They weren't convinced by Sudanese soldiers at all, [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=120) I mean, they looked down on you and belittled you. [2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=123) The Sudanese army, on the Saudi army's front lines, fights on its behalf. The condescending looks continue its members, but also open prisons for anyone who expresses outrage at the killing of children and women, or even simply for browsing some media expressing the cause of the Yemeni people and their oppression. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=143) We joined Facebook groups and groups that were, I mean, unintended, but in the end, there were problems, and they took us to the limit because we had misused communications and such. [2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=155) Then they set up a court over all that. At the same time, there were also pictures of people from over there. [2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=165) Speeches by Sayyid Hussein بدر الدين الحوثي and pictures with footage of martyrs and things like that. They singled this out because those pictures did not provide any news. At the same time, they photographed those Sudanese children there with a camera. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=176) Finally, in the last few minutes, they made a serious, explicit accusation against me: What had I done? [3:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=181) I said, “Victory to those Houthis.” Because he decided to flee the camp of aggression in defense of his identity and allegiance, the Saudi army and its mercenaries tried to kill him, But their bullets missed him, and he managed to escape with his life. [3:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=196) They fired a Dushka and an RPG at him, and fired at him with every kind of ammunition used in battle. [3:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=201) The Sudanese sergeant's message was not limited to his family, but also to his comrades-in-arms: Keep your hands off the people of Yemen and stay away from the Saudi army and all that is associated with it in terms of humiliation and disgrace. [3:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=213) I tell them, thank God, I reached my brothers and my kinfolk, the kind people of Yemen, who had no problem and welcomed me with great warmth and open arms. I am now in safe, trustworthy hands, thank God. I am reassured and have no problems. Saudi brothers, stay away from them. [3:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=232) Stay away from them and deliver a clear message to your leaders. [3:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=235) By God, return to your homeland with honor and dignity. Do not stain your hands with the blood of the Yemeni people. [4:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=240) The truth that the people of Sudan have come to realize, and that this soldier has lived through, is that the aggression against Yemen is an American plan to tear the country apart and destroy it. It has nothing to do with religion, and Sudan has no stake in it. [4:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=255) This coalition project is backed by the U.S. In the first place. That’s why I tell them, brother, since we’re going to defend the Kaaba. [4:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=263) The Kaaba is safe anyway. [4:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=267) This compelled the Sudanese government to take such decisive action. [4:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=269) They bring your sons to fight a patient people who remain on their land and want to protect their land. [4:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=274) The Sudanese sergeant’s surrender and his calm, composed appearance spread a sense of reassurance within. [4:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6kbQJec6VdqK/en/sudanese-sergeant-recounts-defection-from-saudi-forces-in-jizan?t=281) Stability prevails in the army camp and the popular committees, unlike the turmoil and frustration among the forces of invasion and occupation.
