اتفاق جدة فخ الببغاوات

Quote: Islamists’ comebackTMC's spokesman Maj Gen Shams Ad-din Shanto made it clear in a press conference that al-Bashir’s National Congress Party (NCP) would not be allowed to take part in the transitional government. But can Islamists re-emerge at a later stage؟ I can say that it is highly probable that this will happen in the short run. Having ruled the country for almost three decades, and with all the public resources completely under their control over this extended period of time, they have the riches and organisational capacity to regroup and make a comeback after the transitional period. They could, in fact, win a significant share in any civilian rule in the future, especially if they opted to forge alliances with other groups. Their old guard would have to stay away at that stage if they were to gain a foothold in post-transition politics. A short-term transitional period—two years—would certainly be a contributory factor to their comeback, as contact with their grassroots would not have been lost and most of their faithfuls would not have changed stripes by then, knowing that it would be hard for them to be accepted by any other group. The shorter the transitional period, the bigger and quicker a comeback Islamists could make. Astonishingly enough and against all reason, no acts of revenge on ‘kizan’, a catch-all term for Sudanese Islamists, have been reported thus far. Loyalists of the former regime, including known figures, are reportedly leading normal lives and roaming the lengths and breadths of the country freely and safely. Their newspapers are still coming out. What is more, NCP representatives were present at a meeting held by the TMC for the political parties and forces. This atmosphere of tolerance—if it is to last—will certainly encourage Islamists to gather strength and remain united. They will see the ban on their political activity in the transitional period as a 'warrior’s rest', as they call any pause in activity in their literature. They will also see this as a chance to ponder and prepare for the prospective fourth period of democracy in the country’s history.
