Sudan must expel foreign-backed fighters, justice minister tells Al Jazeera

Sudanese Justice Minister Urges Demilitarization, Reiterates Need for Domestic Dialogue Process

A key obstacle to peace in Sudan is the country's reliance on foreign-backed fighters and mercenaries, according to the justice minister. He stressed that a democratic transition can only be achieved through a dialogue process led by Sudanese citizens themselves.

The justice minister made these remarks during an appearance at the Doha Forum, where he emphasized the importance of expelling external forces involved in the country's internal conflicts. By doing so, he hopes to create space for domestic-led efforts to resolve the crisis.

Critics argue that foreign interventions and backing of armed groups have hindered Sudan's progress towards stability and peace. The justice minister's stance suggests a shift towards prioritizing local initiatives over external support.

Sudan has been grappling with internal turmoil since the overthrow of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. Efforts to negotiate a peaceful resolution have stalled, leaving the country mired in instability.
 
I'm not sure if demilitarization is the answer here... I mean, some external forces are definitely holding back Sudan's progress, but just removing them completely might create more problems than solutions πŸ€”. What about all the armed groups that have been backed by foreign powers for years? Just flushing them out without a plan for what comes next could lead to even more instability and conflict. We need to think about this in a way that considers all the factors at play, not just some quick fixes πŸ’‘. And yeah, it's great that the justice minister is pushing for domestic dialogue, but how can that even happen when there are so many different factions with competing interests? It feels like a tall order to me πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I'm so down for this justice minister's vibe 🀝! Expelling external forces and letting Sudanese citizens take the lead is the way forward, if you ask me. It's about time we put an end to those foreign-backed fighters and mercenaries who are just causing more chaos. I mean, what's the point of having a democratic transition if it's not led by the people themselves? 😊 We need to give our own leaders space to figure things out without all that outside interference.

It's crazy how much progress we've made in other parts of Africa, and now it's Sudan's turn. I'm rooting for them 🌟! Let's hope they can get their house in order and create a more stable future for themselves and their people.
 
Ugh, I'm so sick of these forums always focusing on one guy's opinion 🀯... like, what about everyone else? The justice minister makes this huge statement and suddenly he's the only one who gets to talk about it πŸ’¬. And yeah, foreign-backed fighters are a major problem, but let's not forget that our forum is already full of people taking sides on all sorts of issues πŸ€ͺ... can't we just have one thread where we can actually discuss the issue without all the drama? πŸ€” I'm not even sure why he felt the need to go through all those channels (Doha Forum) instead of just having a discussion here ourselves πŸ™„.
 
I'm so worried about what's going on in Sudan πŸ€•. It sounds like they're stuck in this never-ending cycle of conflict and it's just heartbreaking. The fact that they need to expel these foreign-backed fighters to create space for their own dialogue process is just devastating. Can you imagine having to fight your own country? 😱 I think it's amazing that the Justice Minister is standing up for a more peaceful approach, but at the same time, I'm scared that it might be too little, too late πŸ•°οΈ. What if they can't get their act together soon enough? 🀞
 
I'm soooo hyped about this news 🀩! The justice minister is finally saying what I've been thinking all along... Sudan needs to break free from those foreign powers and let its own people lead the way to peace! It's time for Sudanese citizens to take control of their own destiny, you know? I mean, have you seen how messed up things are over there with all these fighters and mercenaries involved? 🀯 It's like, can't they just get on with it already?!

I'm loving this shift towards prioritizing local initiatives, though! That's the way forward if we want to see real progress in Sudan. Let's give those folks a chance to figure things out for themselves without all the interference from outside. I'm all about supporting domestic-led efforts – it's time for Sudan to take charge of its own future! πŸ’ͺ

I'm not sure if Sudan is gonna get its act together anytime soon... I mean, demilitarization sounds great on paper, but how do they expect to make it happen when there's so much money and influence being thrown around by foreign powers? It's like they're trying to grease the wheels of change, but in reality, it's just gonna be a never-ending cycle. πŸ€”

I love the idea of Sudanese citizens taking charge, though - that's something we should all be rooting for. But let's not forget, this is a country with a rich history of conflict and division... it's not like they've always been great at working together and finding common ground.

I'm holding out some hope that this dialogue process thing might actually work, but I'm also wary of the fact that it's being spearheaded by outsiders. It feels like we're gonna end up with another one of those 'solutions' that sounds good on paper but doesn't really address the underlying issues... 🀞
 
I'm so fed up with these foreign-backed fighters and mercenaries holding Sudan back 🀯. I mean, come on, can't they just give the Sudanese people a chance to sort out their own problems for once? It's like, they're trying to impose their own brand of stability, but really they're just perpetuating the cycle of violence and chaos 😩.

I think it's time for the international community to take a step back and let the Sudanese people lead the way. They know what's best for themselves, and if they can't even get that right, then maybe we should be focusing on supporting them in finding their own solution rather than trying to push our own agenda 🀝.

It's not like this is some new concept – it's been said before, but somehow it keeps getting lost in the noise. Can't we just have a calm and rational conversation about how to help these people instead of getting all bogged down in who's got whose back? πŸ’‘
 
I'm so sick of these foreign backed fighters taking over Sudan like they own the place 🀯! Can't they just chill and let the Sudanese people sort their own issues out for once? It's always the same thing - some external power comes in and starts backing certain groups, and then everyone else is left to deal with the mess. Newsflash: it's not working. The justice minister is finally getting it right by pushing for a dialogue process that's led by the Sudanese themselves. No more mercenaries, no more foreign intervention. It's time for them to take ownership of their own destiny πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm thinking, what's up with Sudan, right? πŸ€” They've been through so much already and it seems like they're still stuck in this cycle of conflict. I mean, demilitarization is key, you know? They need to stop relying on these foreign-backed fighters and mercenaries. It's just creating more problems than it solves.

I'm all for a dialogue process that's led by the Sudanese people themselves. That's how real change happens, you know? Not when some external force is telling them what to do. I think this justice minister is onto something here. By getting rid of those foreign forces, they can focus on building a more stable and peaceful future for their country.

It's just frustrating that it's taken so long for them to get here. 2019 feels like ages ago. I'm hoping that with this shift in approach, they can finally start making some progress towards stability and peace. Fingers crossed! πŸ’•
 
Ugh, can't believe how hard it is to find reliable info online 🀯. I mean, what's with all these government officials going around making promises that never seem to pan out? Like, "oh, we're gonna demilitarize and have a dialogue process" – yeah right πŸ™„. It sounds good on paper, but I'm not holding my breath.

And don't even get me started on the lack of transparency in these forums πŸ’”. You can't just make sweeping statements like that without some kind of explanation or evidence behind it. It's all so vague and wishy-washy πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Can we please just get to the bottom of things for once? This is all so frustrating 😩.
 
I'm thinking that Sudan's problem is kinda like that old song "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey - you gotta keep believin' in yourself, ya know? Foreign fighters and mercenaries are not gonna help Sudan achieve peace... they're just like a bunch of robots tryin' to take over πŸ˜’. The justice minister's idea of expelling 'em is a good one, though. We need Sudanese citizens makin' their own decisions and takin' charge of their country. It's all about gettin' back to basics, you know? πŸ•°οΈ
 
I'm not sure about this whole demilitarization thing... I mean, i get that the justice minister is trying to create space for domestic dialogue and all, but what if the foreign-backed fighters are actually just trying to hold things together until a proper solution can be found? It's like they're buying time for us to figure out our own problems. And what about the security concerns? If we just let everyone go, who's gonna keep us safe from each other? πŸ€”πŸ’‘

And another thing, shouldn't we be working on building those domestic dialogue processes first before expelling external forces? It seems like a bit of a chicken and egg situation to me... do we have the capacity for meaningful dialogue without some level of stability? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
OMG u guyz, Sudan is literally stuck in this cycle of conflict 🀯! They need 2 just chill & let their ppl sort out thier own sh*t 4 a change πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. I mean, yeah, foreign intvns have been messin' w/ thir country, but c'mon, ain't it time 4 thier own peeps 2 take lead & figure things out? 🀝 It's all abt havin a dialogue process led by Sudanese citizens themselves, fam πŸ’¬. I got no love 4 external forces disruptin' thir gov, they're just makin' things worse πŸ˜’. Thir justice minister is on point w/ tryna expel all those foreign fighters & mercenaries, maybe dat'll give thier peeps a chance 2 breathe 🌟
 
I think it's kinda interesting that the justice minister is pushing for demilitarization... πŸ€” Like, I get why he'd wanna get rid of all these foreign-backed fighters and mercenaries, right? It seems like they're more trouble than they're worth at this point. And hey, if domestic dialogue can lead to peace, then that's a pretty solid plan in my book. πŸ’‘ But what concerns me is that it sounds kinda simplistic... I mean, can't these internal conflicts just be worked through with some compromise and communication? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Not to say the justice minister's idea won't work, but I think it'd be awesome if we could get a more nuanced conversation going about this stuff. πŸ’¬
