My Sudanese brothers and sisters

Why Sudan?

Our brothers and sisters

Our fathers and mothers

Could not find peace in their own country

In the same way, your country too

Your neighbors

Ethiopia today

Is under the hell of the Horn of Africa

region And the peoples of the Horn of Africa region

Forces far away from us

Thousands of kilometers

Export wars

And at the same time they also want to profit from peace

They burn our homes

And create peace organizations Samdo

is A local product of the Horn of Africa

Samdo is a construction

A psychology that the peoples of the Horn of Africa

The secondary contradiction that exists between them

We can solve it without any external interference

They export wars

And at the same time

They create peace organizations, how wonderful

They create and even buy

Or they steal our educated children

In order to create peace organizations

And they give them a bit of

Money for“ crisis prevention”

But they want to profit twice,

to profit from war and to profit from peace

We are peoples who have customs and traditions that are very old,

and we have lived in this region

Samdo is ours

We want a truly popular dialogue

We want to stand together among ourselves

So we can build our homeland

Raise our sons and our daughters

And create peace

I respect and stand with the great Sudanese people

The war that they exported from abroad

And they created strife between peoples and families

We must know where this war is coming from

Samdo are new medicines to solve

Our local problems,

we discuss among ourselves and our brothers and our sisters, our mothers,

in our homes

And we must not open any window

To the distant enemy, ten thousand kilometers away, who thinks

Plots and plots in order to

Steal our money

And our resources

That is why I ask

The Sudanese intellectuals

They must enter into a discussion with us

We, the peoples of the Horn of Africa

We have lived thousands of years in this region

And we have a solution

I will give you one example, I am a Somali man

Somalia, all the components

Of unity that it has

One language,

one religion

Unified customs and traditions

They live in unified geography

Why did we not solve the internal problem

For about thirty- five years

The enemy that broke Somalia

Also wants to welcome peace

To this day, millions

Of euros are being paid

The peace army was brought from abroad

and there is no peace in Somalia.

They did not let us, the sons of this country,

sit and talk in our own customs and traditions,

our own psychology and our own history.

I wish for the Sudanese people,

and for our oppressed Ethiopian brothers,

that Ethiopia today, which exists

at the very end of the line,

whose people are neglected and whose lands are stolen,

whose Prosperity system dragged Ethiopia into hell,

and the Ethiopian peoples who today are at the last

level in their history,

that for this reason we must

bring about a solution,

a local solution among us.

And this solution is Somdo.

So we, the intellectuals

of the Horn of Africa,

must sit together,

talk together,

in friendship and with a very long- term vision.

Somdo is Sudanese.

Somdo is Eritrean.

Somdo is Ethiopian and[ of] the Horn of Africa.

So I hope you will all be with us, stand together as one man and one woman.

Our different languages, these languages are our wealth.

We teach the masses,

our sons and our daughters.

And I wish for the great Sudanese people

that victory is near and the unity of Sudan is sacred.

For us as Somdo, we are very grateful.

In all of your names,

many thanks to Professor Mohammed Hassan.
