I've decided to participate and
interact with the hunger strike invitation “#Strike4Sudan, which was announced in the
period between 21-25 October 2013 in an attempt to draw and attract attention on
current crisis in Sudan with 3 key demands of the initiative, which are:
1- The release of all
political detainees;
2- Bringing those responsible
for the killing of protesters to justice and allowing people to demonstrate
without fear of detention or use of force;
3- Freedom of expression and
allowing journalists to resume their role and lift the bans on newspapers.
These are legitimate demands
of us as citizens dream of a better life with humanity and dignity for all
Sudanese in their homeland. But in addition to these three main demands I’ve
decided to join the initiative and go on hunger strike for the additional
reasons I'll write about in this blog.
In last September, more than
200 martyrs were murdered without any offense, but they went out, demanding
freedom. Up to the minute, the regime refused to take any responsibility for
killing theses victims, or even provided who the regime claimed that they
killed the martyrs of justice.
In addition to these martyrs,
Sudanese citizens and for a quarter of a century die every day for many
reasons, such as
Wars now in different parts
of the country
Malnutrition
The deterioration of healthcare
services
Daily accidents due to poor
road network and transportation
Corrupt and carcinogens goods
that have invaded the markets
And many others reasons which
kill the Sudanese on a daily basis. And he lucky citizen who survive all of
that will live the life of the dead due to the corruption that has plagued the
country, and ignorance, poverty and oppression and repression have become the
citizen’s best buddies.
The regime bargains about hundreds
of kilometers of roads they have constructed but in a miserable way that make
them roads to grave. They bargain about the hospital they have built, which are
so bad to be only a transit terminal to the afterlife. They bargain about the
freedom of expression that they have given to us according to the huge number
of newspapers and TV channels the allowed, but only to glorify the regime and
defame the people whenever they demand their rights. They also bargain about
the security they brought to Sudan as they have ended the longest civil war in Africa
at the same time they have stared another war in Darfur three years before that
and now they have extended that war to many parts of the country. But they can’t
bargain about any serious development and success in the regime agencies and
the society.
As the fourth day of the
strike has started I can’t get my acts together and organize my ideas so excuse
any lack of clarity and I’m gonna finish the upcoming paragraph.
After 3 days of this strike I
think we haven’t grabbed the desirable attention with our case and also some
people may think what we are doing here is insignificant as the regime starve
some citizens forcibly, therefore they won’t even pay us any attention, but I
believe that any effort we can do with be a small chain in the revolution’s
machine that will uproot this regime from its roots.
