The duplicity of Sudanese diaspora

What is like arguing for Sudanese government overthrow holing up abroad, far away from rallies and protests? As it turns out, it is normal for Sudanese politicians. Being close to western agents such people hold their own protests while their compatriots are suffering from provocateurs.

The Sudanese diaspora in the US has 50 000 people. The majority of them has extremely opposing views and membership in different associations: the Association of the University of Khartoum graduates in the USA, Sudan-American Association of Physicians, etc. Some of these organisations has a long history, but other ones had more recently begun operations, just before the protests in Sudan.

Thus, Sudanese American Physicians Association emerged in the US on 18 January 2019. The purpose was to unite Sudanese doctors. However, in reality, its participants carry out political demonstrations in favour of Sudanese government overthrow.

Nevertheless, not only associations determine the fate of the country abroad. In addition, there are individuals, like American with Sudanese origin Sully El-Atta. She has been taking benefit from a difficult situation in the country for her own ends for a long time. Business women is working in a business consulting company in Nebraska. When protests started, she joint rallies organised by Sudanese diaspora.

At the one of the forums Sudanese American Public Affairs Association Sully El-Atta stated that the Sudanese people had to fight for the rights of African Americans in order to improve their lives in the US. In doing so, she is passionately arguing for the idea that the Sudanese people should take root in the US. June 8, 2019, standing in front of the Washington Monument, she advertised her organisation Sudan NextGen. She did it while the protests were taking place in her home country. This was neither the time nor the place for such an agitation.

It should be noted that Sully is responsible for consulting of American officials of financial sector. She is running a business by the American rules, but will these rules that she is imposing on the Sudanese people be suitable for Sudanese business model? Because the US live by absolutely different rules affected by the factors like climate, territory, economy, etc. Does she not understand this by herself or can her actions be intentional?

This rally is notable for one more detail. Demonstrators that you can see in the frame are holding some posters with notes in English on the opposite side. This can be explained by two reasons: Sudanese people living in the US forget their native language or these posters were prepared by the organisers of the rally before the demonstrations. If we consider the second option, the organisers might be some non-commercial organisations.

At the same time, the most likely the rally was supported by the Enough Project, which is based a mile and a half from the Washington Memorial at 1420 K Street NW. This organisation has already been mentioned in our publication as non-commercial organisation with the support of oppositionists in Sudan.

Along with Sully, Ali Bakri stands out among the leaders of the Sudanese protests in the United States. At one of the meetings, he spoke about the importance of carrying out his opposition policy through social networks and the need to develop his Facebook account.

This symposium was held at Georgetown University and organised by Association of Sudanese-American professionals in America. There is a remarkable thing that the account of this organization was registered on February 7, 2019. The organization itself emerged on the basis of information from the FB page, on January 27 of this year. At the same meeting, there were such political activists as Marwa Babiker and Sully Al-Atta, who was already familiar to us.

As you can see, the Sudanese opposition members living in the US, like all of them, have a similar agenda for Sudan, their activity has the same frequency, and they work with foreign agents. At the same time, over the years of life in a foreign country, they have lost touch with reality and no longer know how their relatives live, and their performance is a solid self-advertisement. However, they persistently try to impose on them Western politics, without even realizing that it is not suitable for the Republic torn by protests.
