A People’s Story: Cooperators
——–
The greatest cooperator in the history of Sudan is General Kikel.
He cooperated with the Janjaweed, worked with them wholeheartedly, and was honored and celebrated by the Janjaweed.
Then he cooperated with the Sudanese National Army, fought faithfully, and was honored by the Sudanese National Army.
Let’s take his case as an example:
So, a cooperative person, he can be obeyed, or he can obey himself, as he wants, and he can change his position.
In the case of poor and weak collaborators who do not have military ranks or a social status that protects them, and they are the general public. Here I am talking about those who cooperate with the national army and those who cooperate with the Janjaweed militia.
And I tell you frankly:
If I find myself in a village or city controlled by the Janjaweed, and they knock on my door and say to me: You are with us or with treason?
I tell them I am with you.
Will you cooperate with us or with treason?
I tell them I will be the greatest collaborator known to history.
If I am a poor citizen, in an area controlled by the army, and a general asks me, “Are you with us or with treason? I will tell them that I am the sheikh of your collaborators.
Preserving life is a very great value.
Thus, in my opinion, the collaborator is a helpless person, a citizen who wants to preserve his life in a time when people do not respect basic human rights, under the control of the gun and the fate of the person remains in the hands of another ruthless person.
Conclusion:
Don’t kill collaborators, try to put yourself in their shoes, what would you do if you were surrounded by a brutal force?
And if you find yourself between death or becoming a collaborator?
Please, without any kind of hypocrisy, would you save your life, or would you prefer to become an anonymous hero and be killed, surely history will not remember you, and your killer will not be punished (die sai)?
The other thing: What is the law and human morality that makes you honor a collaborator and kill another?
Mahouta: Before the war, who did not cooperate with the Janjaweed, and who did not cooperate with the army, I mean the belligerents now?
