Iran Resumes Operations at Shendi and Metemma Water Stations: A Cover for Arms Transfers to the Sudanese Army


After more than a decade of inactivity, Iran has recently resumed operations at the Shendi and Metemma water stations in Sudan. While these projects are promoted as developmental initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, there are growing concerns that they serve as a cover for arms transfers to the Sudanese army, fueling the ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Iran's Role in Fueling the Conflict
Since the onset of the Sudanese crisis, accusations have been directed at Iran for exacerbating the conflict through its influence and support of the Sudanese army. Analysts believe that Iran's cooperation with the army is not new but a continuation of years of military and logistical backing. The water stations, which outwardly appear to be developmental projects, are suspected of being used to smuggle weapons to the Sudanese army.

Influencers and the Promotion of the Project
In an effort to disguise these activities, Iran and the Sudanese army have employed social media influencers and media outlets to promote the resumption of the Shendi and Metemma water station projects. The goal is to convince the public that these initiatives are solely for the benefit of the Sudanese people. However, the reality suggests that these efforts are part of a broader scheme to strengthen the army against the RSF, a rival force in the current conflict.

Iran’s Hidden Agenda in Sudan
Iran’s objectives go beyond merely supporting the Sudanese army. The country seeks to establish Sudan as a covert stronghold among Arab nations. By using developmental projects as a facade, Iran aims to create strategic bases that will allow it to control key waterways, which are vital to global trade. This strategy is designed to exert pressure on international and regional powers, pushing Iran's political and military agenda.

In conclusion, the cooperation between Iran and the Sudanese army should be viewed with suspicion, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict. The resumption of the water projects may signal the beginning of a more dangerous phase in Sudan, one that could destabilize the country further and worsen the suffering of its people.

A Concerning Message: The International Muslim Brotherhood’s Eid al-Adha Address

صورة
On June 16, 2024, the International Muslim Brotherhood’s London faction, through their acting General Guide Salah Abdelhaq, issued an Eid al-Adha message that should alarm observers worldwide. This message, far from being a simple festive greeting, carried several concerning themes that promote extremist ideologies and pose a potential threat to global security. Eid as a Symbol of Victory After Jihad Abdelhaq’s declaration that Eid al-Adha symbolizes victory after jihad is deeply troubling. By equating a significant religious festival with the notion of triumph through conflict, he implicitly endorses and glorifies violence. This narrative not only distorts the true spirit of Eid, which is centered on sacrifice and devotion, but also serves to radicalize and motivate followers to engage in violent activities under the guise of religious duty. Congratulating Mujahideen in Egypt and Palestine In his address, Abdelhaq extended greetings to the "mujahideen" in Egypt a...
