Press Release
O Bashir Government, When Did Sudan Become One of America’s States
(Translated)

We are still following, in depth and with sorrow, the visit of the American envoy, Donald Booth, since Tuesday 26/07/2016, in which he reached Al-Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur, where he met the deputy governor Muhammad Hasseb el-Nabi, in the attendance of heads of the security and military departments in addition to a number of displaced. He discussed a number of issues with them, at the head of which was the issue of the displaced and the efforts of the local government to accomplish security and stability. According to the Sudan Tribune the spokesman for the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, Qarebullah Khadr, when addressing journalists on Tuesday, said that he expected Booth to present a file for peace in Darfur to certain officials in the government, with the results and observations from his visit to the province.

In light of this situation, we in Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Sudan question and make clear the following:

What is it that the American envoy is undertaking in Sudan? Did this envoy lose his way so that he thought that Sudan was one of the states of America?

In this way, through this Booth, this Lyman and that Danford, the issues of the country have come to be in the American hands. They administer them without shyness; from combatting what they call terrorism to the (national) dialogue, the Darfur issue and reviving the small statelet of South Sudan amongst similar matters from the country’s issues!

Until when will the rulers of Sudan ransom the land and its people to the American men and its security departments, to be able to meet anyone of them they wish and make a repot about whom they wish?!

Does that not indicate that the regime in Khartoum has lost its political and administrative compass, to manage the helm of the country, where they hand it over to the Americans in actual reality so that they take control over the affairs of the land and its people?!

Allah Ta’Aalaa prohibited Muslims from seeking assistance from and reliance upon the enemies. Allah (swt) says:

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ﴾

“O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason” [Aali ‘Imraan: 118].

﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ﴾

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people” [Al-Ma’idah: 51].

So what is it that the Sudanese government is hoping for when it is handing over the important issues of the land to America whilst it is the enemy?

Does the reality and history not bear witness to America not entering a land, any land, except that it has brought corruption, destruction and wreckage along with it? So what good is the Sudanese government hoping for from this state? Allah Ta’Aalaa says:

﴿مَّا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَاللَّـهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّـهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ﴾

“Neither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.” [Al-Baqarah: 205]

The honour of the Muslim is for his dependence in respect to the solving of his problems to be upon the basis of his Deen and confidence in its solutions and rulings. So why is the Sudanese government fleeing from this abundant goodness?

All of these matters prove what we in Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Sudan have been reiterating and bring ample evidence, in that our problems will never be solved unless we shake off the hands from the American plans, their plotting and conspiracies, and to strive with their utmost energy for the application of Islam in a comprehensive manner in its state, the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) upon the methodology of the Prophethood, through which we will please Allah and spread good and guidance to the corners of the world, and that is not difficult for Allah.
