Sudan … What now? … Freedom?

The news media is awash with footage of the ordinary people of Sudan demonstrating their demand to be free of oppression … of military rule … of Omar Al Bashir … to be free … at last.

The military is caught in a situation of organic ambivalence and embarrassment as it was/is very much part of the oppression but is also the Bashir removal agent.

The African Union is caught in a situation of organic hypocrisy as it has always supported African leaders, howsoever bad, but has to be seen to be doing “something” about these tumultuous events.

The future for Sudan is also caught in a situation of organic ambivalence as was Iraq and Libya (and Zimbabwe).

This is because human beings that have been oppressed and denied the opportunity to determine their own interests for many decades do not have the competence to govern, as has been proved in Iraq and Libya.

This incompetence also accrues to the oppressors themselves as appears to also apply to Zimbabwe.

It certainly will accrue to the military that have deposed Omar Al Bashir as they were 100% part of the oppression.

It has been politically correct to blame “the West” for the chaos and instability that exists in Iraq and Libya.
There are many who lament the removal of the despotic bloody tyrants, Saddam and Gaddafi.

Now who are they going to blame, as regards Sudan, for the chaos that is looming?

Their problem is that of naivety and low emotional intelligence.

They see the STABILITY of tyranny as preferable to the chaotic CHANCE at freedom. They have a low understanding of human rights.
President Thabo Mbeki was widely praised for keeping the tyrannical ZPF regime in power for the sake of "stability" using something called "quiet diplomacy".
History has proved what a diabolical betrayal of a whole people this was.

We should all understand that this era/period is but a moment in time … just a moment in the journey that humanity is making.

Yes … Yes … Yes … things can be chaotic after the removal of despots and tyranny.

However, in that chaos, reposes the CHANCE of FREEDOM that was absent before.
The chaotic moment in time will pass.

Despots and tyrants MUST be removed … and it matters not by whom they are removed.

This is the only way that human beings can be afforded the chance of freedom.
