While we, together with many peace-lovers and other well-intentioned individuals, are striving and turning any unturned stones to combat hate speech in order to make this country a hospitable and better place that can accommodate all Sudanese with their diversity and dissimilarities, there are some other spoilers and ill-intentioned individuals on the other hand who are tirelessly fueling this damned hate speech in order to make Sudan a repellant and unconducive place to live. Well-intentioned individuals and institutions, in the country, have kept cautioning these bad individuals to guard against falling prey to the temptations of racism and superiority complex nevertheless their cautions were met with deaf ears and blind hearts. Such people don\u2019t want to leave this country at ease. The tranquility and stability of this country is not a priority to them because it doesn\u2019t serve their personal and political interests and agendas. Their agendas are only reached through igniting and disturbing the noiselessness of the Sudanese people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hate provoking and agitation is very detrimental and harmful to the social cohesion and fabric of the community\u2019s relations. Those who sow the seeds of sedition and hate through their bad languages and provocative attitudes and behaviors will only reap sorrow and lamentation. It is said that sedition is worse than killing. Hate speech, if left unchecked, will beget counter hate speech. Structural informed efforts must be exerted to nip hate speech in the bud before it turns a formidable gorilla. It is unfortunate that these days some Sudanese individuals in certain geographical sectors and locations are adopting a sort of buzzword which is alien to Sudanese ethical lexicon and culture. This buzzword is \u2018Strange Faces.\u2019 This buzzword has been chewing by these specific Sudanese individuals in those specific geographical sectors and locations in order to justify and legitimize their brutal actions against these certain ethnic groups. This is a sort of absolute hate speech. it is a radical sort of hate speech which jeopardizes the cohesion and structure of the entire country which is already suffering from fragility and incohesiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This buzzword \u2018strange faces\u2019 must be condemned in the strongest possible terms by all of us. Such a door must be closed as quickly as possible because if such a door was left open it wouldn\u2019t be closed easily again. This buzzword \u2018strange faces\u2019 is reminiscent of old wounds of \u2018black bags.\u2019 Some Sudanese people with good memories still vividly remember the buzzword of \u2018the black bags\u2019 that had been used during a certain era of a certain regime in Sudan. That buzzword \u2018the black bags\u2019 was institutionalized and structured by that particular regime and became part and parcel of the public policy. Based on that notorious public policy, all \u2018black bags\u2019 were removed from the \u2018triangle capital\u2019 Khartoum. The capital, Khartoum, was disinfected, sanitized, and purified from these \u2018black bags\u2019 namely; street-children and youngsters. Some of these children and youngsters were forcibly taken to the jungles of the South as fighters (Mujahedeen) and most of them never came back again, others were incarcerated, while others were taken back to their home areas. So far, there are many others no one knows their whereabouts. The buzzword \u2018Black Bags\u2019 was a sort of structural hate speech which will go deep into the anal of Sudan history. The buzzword \u2018Strange Faces\u2019 is a replica of the old buzzword \u2018Black Bags\u2019 both of them are categorized as radical hate speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some Sudanese extremists might intentionally push it to the era before the Arabs entered Sudan. They may want to know the \u2018Strange Faces\u2019 who crossed the Red Sea and entered Sudan. They may want to know their whereabouts. Were they not \u2018Strange Faces\u2019 as well? Pleas Close This Window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I would like to conclude by saying that the written and unwritten Sudanese history is full to the brim with so many unspoken black chapters and notorious pages which necessitate thorough and meticulous revision. I, as well, say, let bygones be bygones for the sake of this bleeding country. Let us not touch these old wounds lest they fester. Festering of these old wounds will wide open a gate of hell which will hardly be closed again. Festering old wounds will have damaging effects and repercussions on the entire country. Let us jointly put an end to these provocative phrases and terms such as \u2018black bags\u2019, and \u2018strange faces\u2019 and suchlike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Firstly, let us, by all means, focus on stopping the severe bleeding of this beloved country by defusing this ongoing damned war then we go for the core reforms, namely, the constitutional reform, the political reform, the administrative reform, the legal reform, the governmental reform, the programmatic reform, the organizational reform, the value-system reform. When such structural reforms and adjustments are made, hate speech will automatically disappear. Corruption, nepotism, and favoritism will no longer be there. Diversity mismanagement will no longer be there. Oppression and suppression will disappear. Superiority and inferiority complexities will not be there. Bad leadership will no longer be there. Instead, Sudanism will dominate. Nobel principles and essential values will appear. It is where cats and mice can peacefully coexist and cooperate for their common good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
