Sudanese Social Justice Party
President and founder of the Sudanese Social Justice Party
Mr. Abdul Khaleq Bashar Adam Muhammad
He says years of injustice, which included many different aspects in the lives of the Sudanese peoples under the weight of the dictatorship, the glorious December revolution came to dislodge these unjust regimes, and to await an era of social justice, which includes the proper distribution of wealth and power, and establishes new rules of justice.
The man in the street is waiting for the unemployed to work, and for those who live in graves, nests, or marginalized people who live on the outskirts of Sudanese cities, and whose homes are called slums, and whose homes are called slums. The peoples of the Sudanese state also hope to provide satisfactory public services in the fields of education, health, electricity, water, development, security, sanitation and clean drinking water.
Under the weight of the state of instability, the citizens of the Sudanese state have not yet taken steps that can be described as putting them on the path to achieving social justice.
It is unfair to consider the period of time that has passed since the success of the Sudanese revolutions sufficient to achieve social justice, in a way that fulfills the hopes of the peoples of that state.
There are a number of challenges facing the achievement of the most prominent goal of the revolutions, which is social justice. Among these challenges is what is related to the heavy legacy that this country inherited from the defunct tyrannical regimes, or from the conditions that accompanied the new governments after the Sudanese revolutions. Below we address these challenges.
First: The difficulty of inherited social and economic problems
There is no doubt that providing the requirements of social justice, especially facing the problems of poverty and unemployment, requires more investments, but the available data on the economic conditions in the country are still negative.
In addition to this request, these countries have entered into negotiations to reach agreements with the International Monetary Fund to obtain loans from the Fund or from outside it. And not only that, but unemployment appears at high rates, ranging between 15% and 18% in the country
The Sudanese state is still living in a difficult transitional period, during which its parliamentary and political institutions have not naturally settled, even those that were able to run in the midst of elections for their parliamentary and political institutions. The state of incompatibility between the political forces is almost ravaging these nascent electoral experiments.
Second: This turbulent situation will affect the most important elements of economic life, which is investment, whether it is local or foreign. Without the increase in investment rates than they are now in the country, it is very difficult to talk about providing new job opportunities for new entrants to the labor market, or to reduce rates cumulative unemployment.
It is increasingly important in Sudan to provide a state of stability and exit from the transitional period due to the country's reliance on attracting foreign direct investment. The length of the transitional period raises fears among foreign investors due to the absence of institutionalization and the rule of law.
According to published statistics, foreign direct investment flows in Egypt and Tunisia are still weak at the end of 2012, which does not exceed $1.8 billion in Egypt, and about 2.2 billion in Tunisia, while we find that net foreign direct investment flows in Yemen are still negative by about $713 million.
Third: Follow the legal mechanism to deal with the spoilers of previous governments
The fortunes of the former government, as well as the pillars of their systems, are still a black box for the people, and they are eager to find out the real numbers of these wealth, whether available from them at home or abroad. Most countries have taken the legal path to hold corrupt officials accountable in that country, so that they can stand on a solid legal ground to recover these wealth, especially those located abroad.
The return of the money looted by former officials in the Sudanese state requires the issuance of final judicial rulings so that Western countries and their institutions can dispose of those funds and take decisions on their return.
The slowness resulting from following the legal path to return the looted funds is one of the challenges to achieving social justice in Sudan because legal procedures take a long time by their nature, while these countries are in need of liquidity to help them meet the basic requirements of the poor, and meet many private public services in the poor class.
Therefore, some still see the error of following the natural legal path and call for the necessity of revolutionary trials because they are completed in such cases, and the holders of this opinion defend what they have gone to on the grounds that the corruption of former officials is legalized, and therefore the chances of obtaining the looted funds are weak, and in the best case the recovered funds will be Do not get fat or sing from hunger.
Although the writer sees the need to follow the natural legal path, even if it takes a long time, but it leads to a state of stability in Sudan’s conditions in the future, in addition to the respect it provides for the rule of law.
Fourth: Rising the ceiling of the aspirations of the peoples
After the success of the revolutions, the aspirations of individuals rose to obtain their economic and social rights, especially since the most important reasons that prevented them from having these rights had disappeared, namely dictatorial regimes. Individuals unleashed their imaginations in the form of public education, public hospitals, transportation facilities and others.
This broad imagination has helped to talk about corruption and the amounts related to it in the era of dictatorships, and to elaborate on the return of these funds and their use in providing services to individuals. There was also a state of optimism about the future of economic and political reform in Sudan without taking into account the obstacles that faced the process of this reform, whether by various political forces, or what was described as the deep state.
The generous promises from Western and Arab countries to support the Sudanese economies in amounts that some estimates amounted to about 35 billion dollars also reinforced this feeling among citizens.
