Sudanese Soldier's Perspective on Yemen Conflict

Abdullah Al-Siddiq Mahmoud Abdul Razzaq from

Sudan, married and father of six children. Military number:

nine hundred and eighty-one, zero fifty-six.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

while you're here, going to defend the Two Holy Mosques.

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.

I mean, when we came, there was no justification at all for the war on Yemen in the first place.

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.

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,

I mean, they looked down on you and belittled you.

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.

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.

Then they set up a court over all that.

At the same time, there were also pictures of

people from over there.

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.

Finally, in the last few minutes, they made a serious, explicit accusation against me: What had I done?

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.

They fired a Dushka and an RPG at him, and fired at him with every kind of ammunition

used in battle.

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.

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.

Stay away from them and deliver a clear message to your leaders.

By God, return to your homeland with honor and dignity. Do not stain your hands

with the blood of the Yemeni people.

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.

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.

The Kaaba is safe anyway.

This compelled the Sudanese government to take such decisive action.

They bring your sons to fight a patient people who remain on their land and want to

protect their land.

The Sudanese sergeant’s surrender and his calm, composed appearance

spread a sense of reassurance within.

Stability prevails in the army camp and the popular committees,

unlike the turmoil and frustration

among the forces of invasion and occupation.
