Re: إنقلاب داخل النظام (Re: ابوهريرة زين العابدين)
|
تقرير من واشنطن بوست يؤكد ما ذهبت اليه وقد اكد مصدر في السفارة الامريكية في الخرطوم بان هناك عناصر داخل النظام شاركت في الهجوم وبعضهم ضباط يحمل رتب مختلفة وقد تم اعتقالهم وعدد القوات حوالي ثلاثة الف وكما قلت فحركة بهذا الحجم لا يمكن ان تتم بدون مساعدة داخلية سياسية وعسكرية وسوف تكشف الايام عن ذلك واسماء هؤلاء الضباط وهذا ما جعل اعضاء الحركة في الخارج يقولون بانهم استولوا على قواعد عسكرية وذلك حسب الخطة الموضوعة وليس حسب ما تم تنفيذه من الخطة الهجومية. الملاحظ ان الصراع على السلطة في قلب الخرطوم دائما اعتمد على اجنحة الجبهة والمنشقين منها فبعد الانقلاب الاول كان انقلاب البشير الثاني على الترابي وانقلاب مجموعة الترابي على النظام والآن انقلاب خليل على نظامه القديم. المحاولة انتحار من خليل ومجموعته وبها قصر نظر سياسي بانهم وبدون تحضير شعبي ومساندة سياسية كبيرة يمكنهم ان يستولوا على السلطة. لو كان فكر ونسق مع القوى السياسية وكان هناك تحضير سياسي وشعبي جماهيري كبير وتاتي هذه في النهاية بعد ان يكون التغيير استوى سياسيا كان ممكن ن ينجح الامر ولكن لانه تربي في كنف الجبهة فهو يؤمن بالتغيير الانقلابي الفوقي ولا ادري كيف كان سوف يحكم. مع شكري أبوهريرة
Incursion Crushed, Sudan Reports Darfur Rebels Fail In Coup Attempt Against President
By Stephanie McCrummen Washington Post Foreign Service Sunday, May 11, 2008; A01
NAIROBI, May 10 -- Darfur rebels launched an unprecedented attack on the Sudanese capital of Khartoum on Saturday, crossing hundreds of miles of desert in an attempt to overthrow the government of President Omar Bashir, according to Sudanese officials and the rebels.
Within a few hours, however, the Sudanese government said the attempt had been crushed. State television broadcast pictures of bloodied bodies in the streets and confessions from prisoners who appeared to have been badly beaten.
Sudanese officials immediately accused neighboring Chad of backing the rebels.
"The main aim of this failed terrorist sabotage attack was to provoke media coverage and let people imagine that they had the ability to enter Khartoum," a ruling party official said in the broadcast, according to the Reuters news agency. "Thank God this attempt has been completely defeated."
The Sudanese government has waged a brutal, five-year campaign against several rebel groups and civilians in the country's western Darfur region, where hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. For the most part, the fighting has been confined to that area. But the rebel Justice and Equality Movement, or JEM, has frequently vowed to take the war to the capital, which has been spared the fighting that has devastated other parts of the country in recent decades.
On Saturday, the rebel group said that the attack was not over and that it had received "internal support," a claim echoed by a U.S. source in the region who had received reports that Sudanese soldiers had joined the rebels along with other indications of fresh divisions within Bashir's government.
If confirmed, the reports would represent a far more troubling scenario than a rebel attack, which analysts have long said would be doomed against Sudan's military.
Besides being highly unpopular across Sudan -- where just about every region outside Khartoum complains of being oppressed and neglected by a government flush with oil money -- Bashir has struggled to maintain political alliances within his inner circle and has crushed nascent coup plots in recent years.
Bashir contends with the questionable loyalties of a Sudanese army dominated by soldiers from Darfur, where his government has drawn international condemnation for the violence.
"The facts on the ground suggest there is something internal," said the U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of security concerns. "We don't know the extent of what it is or how far it has gone."
Bashir, who has ruled Sudan since 1989, was in Saudi Arabia.
The attack marked the first time in decades that fighting has breached Khartoum, a sprawling, sand-blown city of donkey carts and new avant-garde hotels on the banks of the Nile.
Early Saturday evening, the swelling sound of heavy fighting came from Omdurman, a suburb just across the river from Khartoum, and helicopters and army trucks headed toward the area, according to a Reuters reporter in the capital. Earlier in the day, the rebels said they had taken control of Omdurman and would not relent until they had pushed into the center of Khartoum.
"The international community has failed to protect our people, and now we are in a position to do it," said Tahir Elfaki, chairman of the legislative council for JEM, speaking from a London airport as he headed to Libya, which, along with the government of Chad, is a main backer of the rebel group. "We are not going to stop until this regime is removed once and for all."
The United States condemned the attack, saying it would undermine efforts to find a negotiated settlement to the Darfur conflict.
Sudanese officials accused Chad of backing the rebel advance, just as Chad accused Sudan of backing Chadian rebels who breached that country's capital this year.
Still, there were signs of divisions within Bashir's government. The U.S. source cited reports that fighters wearing Sudanese army uniforms were among the rebels and that the rebels used heavy weapons to shoot down a Sudanese helicopter. In addition, several Sudanese military officials had been arrested Friday night.
The Sudanese government moved quickly to shore up alliances, requesting military assistance from the southern Sudanese army, known as the Sudan People's Liberation Army, which stayed on the sidelines.
Southern Sudan signed a peace deal in 2005 to end a 20-year civil war with the north and is officially part of the government. But relations between the two sides have remained tense as the southerners accused the government of failing to fully implement a peace deal that would involve relinquishing control of several oil-rich areas.
For the past four years, fighting in Sudan, the largest country in Africa, has been confined mostly to Darfur, where some experts estimate that the government and its allied militias have killed as many as 450,000 people and displaced 2.5 million. The government says those numbers are exaggerated.
But in recent days, Elfaki said, JEM rebels had been fighting in the state of North Kordofan, which borders Khartoum. They pushed into Omdurman on Saturday, where there was already a dormant rebel force of at least 3,000, which was joined by an advancing force of about the same number.
"All through these years we tried to pursue the political way to sort this out, but the government was not interested," he said. "So we have said enough is enough."
Despite the largest humanitarian relief effort in the world and years of diplomatic efforts, attempts to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict have failed. The United Nations has also been unable to muster necessary equipment and has accused Khartoum of blocking deployment of a 26,000-member peacekeeping force that was to have hit the ground earlier this year.
The numerous Darfur rebel groups have been accused of obstructing progress toward a negotiated settlement as they have become increasingly fragmented.
Of all the rebel groups, JEM has emerged as the fiercest fighting force. It is led by Khalil Ibrahim, who is accused by some of harboring an Islamist agenda at odds with the cause of the other rebel groups.
Alex de Waal, an analyst with the Social Science Research Council in New York, said that JEM's loyalties lie more with Chad than with Darfurians and that its advance into Khartoum "changes the game." He predicted that the attack would derail what little progress has been made toward a negotiated settlement and provoke a crackdown in Khartoum in coming days.
"We can only fear the worst," he said. "They will be going house to house . . . and people will be rounded up. It's going to be very ugly, I fear."
