extremism and Terrorism

Extremism is the farm of terrorism where it can grow and boast . they are blossoming for three reasons :

First of all , the deviation of thoughts in apprehending religion and its interpretation.

Second , poverty , frustration and social oppression .

Third , the political depression accompanied by pressing and supporting from abroad . terrorism is the new born of extremism . it is spreading in the area from the east to the west , menacing the security of peoples as it pulls down the countries and the ruling regimes . most of our countries own two or three factors . the extremistic network and the terroristic organisations extend and branch out from Iraq to Morocco , from Lebanon to Algeria and south in Yemen , Somalia and the Sudan , while the middle countries , especially in Egypt and Saudi Arabia are boiling under active menacing networks or sleeping cells , awaiting for a chance to blast off towards destruction and killing . this led to deformation of the national resistance in the area . these organisations penetrated in the areas of liberation and independence wars , as in Iraq , Palestine , Lebanon and Somalia . they committed assassination operations hazardly , they blemished the white face of the resistance . it led to giving all the justifications before the local ruling regimes to intensify the security grasp and practising more oppression and depression and confiscating the public freedom by means of Emergency Laws , or outside law under the name of combating terrorism and insuring the right of people in security and stability . the political tyranny allied with the economical , social oppression became more ferocious along the Arabic map , while the foreign occupation was like air applying the well- known American recipe ; “ the constructive chaos “ it led also to offering a remarkable service to the American Zionist occupation which attacks fiercely the Arab countries .

The two parts traded the fruitful gains ; the organisations of extremism and terrorism spread and expand and get sympathy , sometimes , because they claim they fight the “ Zionist – crusading “ conquest , those who impose their sovereignty on our Arabic Islamic peoples . Whereas the foreign occupation wage battles and armed confrontations along our map , with the pretext of combating this “ Islamic “ terrorism , particularly in the shadow of extremistic American phobia , ruled by president Bush and the new conservatives together with the Jewish lobby . In fact , what goes on in Lebanon was expected because they lived a few years ago a state of escalating political tension . the majority powers led by the future current “ Saad El Hariri “ with his coalition “ Gaga “; the maronit and “ Gonbilat”; the Dorsi , accused Syria of financing and weaponing the organisation of “ Fath El Islam “ while another power of opposition relies that “ Saad El Hariri “ financed and armamented this Sunni organisation to stand before Hezbollah ; the Shiite , the main opponent of the “ future current “ these are new riddles until they are proved to be right or wrong . anyway , these organizations of extremism and terrorism found a place for themselves inside Lebanon .

What we saw in Gaza as if it were guerrillas ; kidnapping , snipering , screaming scenes we used to see between the Palestinians and the Israelis . between those who resist for wiping out the occupation and the occupied forces pressing on the Palestinian people . But what we saw was between the Palestinians themselves. street fighting , mutual menaces , arsoning publicly and , private properties and attacking prominent personalities in the Palestinian national authority . Under the shadow of the state of confusion and escalating hostility ; the Egyptian security delegation didn’t manage to convince the two conflicting parties to cease fire . Meanwhile , Israel made use of what was going on , alleging that there was no Palestinian partner to negotiate with. They propagated ideas that Gaza became a fortification for Hamas which will set up a state in this sector . Fath will put up a state in the western bank . the reporters of the Israeli newspapers gloated over what happened in the Palestinian lands . they said they could accept two “ Palestinian states “ living side by side with Israel .

The question that poses itself is this what the fighters want in Gaza? ? In Iraq, in Samara , two minarets of the two shrines of " El Imam Ali El Hadi and Hassan El Askari " they were exposed to explosion . later , three Sunni mosques were exploded . El Malki attributed what happened to Quaeda and Saddam's supporters . scores of inhabitants in El Nagaf city , south of Baghdad , marched in demonstrations protesting against what happened and charged the American forces with causing the sectarian violence and not taking the suitable procedures to forbid what happened . El Sadr suspended his participation in the parliament . He declared mourning for three days . He also , called for peaceful demonstration to express resentment . El Sistani ; the Supreme Shiite reference in Iraq asked all to control one' self and not to do any action of retaliation against the Sunnis . Sheikh Hereto El Dari ; the general secretary of the Sunnis in Iraq accused the government of Malki of standing behind the explosion of the two shrines in Samara .

In the same time , in Lebanon the representative opposer to Syria , Waleed Eido , his elder son and two of his companions were killed as a result of blast in Beirut. The police clarified that this was the first aggression in Beirut took place by day since the wave of explosion targeting at commercial and inhabited areas after the breaking out of the clashes of " Nahr El Bared " and the Lebanese army .

In Darfor, Washington considered the consent of the Sudan to deploy a joint force in the region on condition that it must be all Africans as a refusal to deploy all the forces which consist of 17 – 19 soldiers and a policemen . Before that , the Sudanese government accused the western countries to attempt to colonise the Sudan anew . It refuses to deploy a joint force from the United Nations and the African Union in Darfor . Khartoum described Zalmai;s menaces ; the American delegate in the united nations – as imposing extra sanctions like a policy of failure . they think that Zalmai ; who was an ambassador to his country in Iraq is still looking at the world from imperial spectrum . Khartoum is careful to negotiate with the rebellion movements , to solve the crisis in the region peacefully . It is possible for the Sudanese to convene with the united nations and African union to come to ultimate settlement in Darfor . Experts from the united nations and the African union together with official Sudanese convened in Addis Ababa to negotiate in a detailed plan to send a joint force consisting of 23 thousand agents to replace other force from the African union of 7 thousand agents which suffered from lack of finance and machines . the reluctance of the Sudanese to solve the problem of Darfor obliged Washington to impose economical sanctions . in fact , these sanctions declared by Bush was not the first . ; the Sudan is being sanctioned since 1997 , but that was not a surprise because Washington warned to execute these sanctions on Khartoum to force them accepting international forces in Darfor , and to stop the actions of violence in the area . the Sudanese gained experience in dealing with these American sanctions long ago .

Some think that these American sanctions are just a political situation addressing the media , the groups of pressure and the American public opinion . And , if the American administration wanted to take painful resolutions , these sanctions would be extended to the effective companies , in the Sudanese petroleum and economy . the Sudan should be careful because the graduation of sanctions won't last because of the escalating pressures practised over the resolution makers in Washington and the western countries to stop what they think genocide and massacres in Darfor .

The Sudanese minister of human affairs " Ahmad Haroun " –he was wanted by the Criminal Court now ,accused of genocide , together with the Sudanese president El Basher , he was put in a critical situation and asked the Arab League to convene ------- explained that the Dafor's cause can be divided into three main topics :

The international situation -- the dialogue with the armed movements , -- and the human situation . As for the international situation , the Sudanese faced a basic challenge , it is the Security Council resolution 1706 which implied basically establishing an occupation authority in the Sudan and canceling the state authority . the Sudanese with co operation with Egyptian diplomacy overcame this resolution . As for the dialogue with the armed movements in Darfor ; it is certain that it was a local problem and they convened with most of the movements and organizations except four movements . they are ; -- the justice and equality presided by Khalil Ibrahim. It can be considered the military flank of the popular conference party presided by Hassan ElTorabi .

_ the popular movement to liberate the Sudan presided by Abdul Wahid Muhammad Nor, who traveled to Holland asking for political asylum .

_ group 19 presided by Ahmad Abdul Shafi .

_ the front of Salvation of Darfor led by Sheriff Hariri with Dereeg who is over 80 years. Now there are a lot more of movements asking for anything . Experts think that there is a lot of oil reservations in Darfor ., that is why everyone wants to come there . In fact , there are connections with these movements and Egypt who is playing an important role and many Sudanese leaders were invited to Cairo . All the parts whether they are in the Sudanese government or in the armed movements or in the various Sudanese powers believe that Egypt is the only country qualified for this . they hope to hold a convention for a reconciliation with the co operation with the African Union and the envoy of the general secretary of the United Nations .

As for the human situation ; there are a lot of hidden and unknown powers want to keep the situation as it is , because they make use of the refugees and the request for food , cure and human care to invest all that for their political and personal interests . To be exact, the value of aids specified for food only is worth 780 million dollars . Only 138 millions dollars was spent on the needy . that means the rest which is 642 million dollars was stolen by the brokers , salaries , bonus and administration expenditure . that means each dollar goes to food , five dollars go to the others . there are 800, 000 persons in the refugees camps , but the afflicted ones estimated 2,5 millions . the Sudanese government demanded the priority of the purchasing to be from the local markets where articles are available . half of the donating countries ; from the European Union , Japan and Australia agreed , except the US refused because they have their policy based on supporting the American farmer , consequently the donation was given from their production . Egypt is the nearest to the hearts of the Sudanese ., there is a good example for this love . there is an Egyptian battalion in " Kadogly Area " where they have a military hospital and water wells posed in the services of the citizens . there are over than 3000 soldiers and policemen working under the African Union . the same citizens don't like other nationalities who got high salaries , bought cars , they ran over the citizens and killed them . for instance , in Goba , south of Sudan , the citizens marched in a demonstration against the officials of the foreign organisations , because 5or 6 car accidents a day . these accidents cause victims of injuries and casualties . Edward Leno ; the responsible for the security and intelligence of the Popular movement for liberating Sudan in 1997 and 2005 defended Silva Care ; the first vice of the Sudanese president and the chairman of the Popular movement for liberating Sudan dueling accusation in public with the Sudanese president Omar El Basher during celebrating the second remembrance of the peace convention signature , where he complained that concerning the cause of oil revenues , still some oil wells in the south belonged to the north and the borders were not settled yet .the oil amount actually produced estimated at more than 800, 000 BL a day , but the National Conference deals with it about 450, 000 BL a day .

The situation needs transparency and the National Conference still insists on unilateralism and non- transparency . the National Conference should execute the terms of the convention wholly . It mistakes in reading the reality if it depends on the situation of some agents ; from the movement preferred to be belonged to the National Conference as Garang's sons , Salva group ; names come from outside the movements . In Malekal , a leader of some militias belonged to the movement, his name was Gabriel Tanknia stirred unrests . Some of his men opened fire on four young men who were walking in the street , some of them were dead who happened to be from the Popular army . When the police arrived , his forces shot one of the police , they couldn't control themselves any more . the police followed Gabriel and his forces who went to Malekal garrison which belonged to the Sudanese army , they refused to deliver him , so there were fire and shooting . then he was smuggled by the army to Katogly first , then to Khartoum . He accused the military intelligence making troubles . they traded the cause of peace . this mentality is the cause of unrests in Sudan . they grew too much that they became a state within the state and a government within a government .

This foundation spends more than 70% of the financial specifications of the army , although nobody can talk about these specifications . the same thing applied on the budget of the ministry of energy . this school of intelligence ; since it is doing the duty of the government , it manages all the requirements of El Genguaweed in Darfor , armament , provisions and machines , and the requirements of El Fersan – Cavaliers in Darfor ,and all the other militias in Sudan ;- the Popular Defense and the Army of God , this intelligence has branches in the neighboring countries , in Uganda , Chad , Central Africa and Somalia . the intelligence mentality which works in the south is practising the same thing in the north , Darfor and the east . Sudan would be more tumultuous than Somalia unless the government reconsiders these things earlier .

Close sources to the Sudanese government believed that five leaders from the Rebellion Salvation Front ( El Khalas ) left for Israel to get a financial support to the front . this was the second visit , they go to Chad after that to function this support on the military action with the collaboration of the Chadian governmental forces . But , the Front refused these accusations . Gabriel Adam Belal ; the military leader in the Front and the spokesman of Equality and justice movements assured that these news was not true , and they have political goals to stamp the Front with betrayal and carry out foreign plans to stir up the public opinion inside Sudan against them . Ibrahim Ahmad Ibrahim one of the leaders of liberating Sudan movement , opposing Abuja convention assured all the factions of liberating Sudan movement opposing Abuja convention agreed on unity . they decided after intensive talks to issue the unity schedule that will be discussed in a small conference to produce a unified political skeleton . they got the conclusion that they couldn't negotiate with the ruling Sudanese national conference , ; considering it unable and unqualified to play any negotiative role and accused it of splitting the country by the name of peace .

El Sadek El Mahdi ,; chairman of Sudanese Nation Party " El Umma " and Imam El Ansar – the leaders of the supporters –attributed the bad conditions in Darfor and the Sudan to the ruling party . He believed that there should be true solutions to the reasons of the crisis rather than running useless initiatives and the frame of sanctions is a failure because the US is looking upon us as the devil in the area , any cause would harm it . Any subject they adopted resulted in reversed positions . People in Darfor no longer trust in the government and considered it the reason of this catastrophe. The solution can be applied by the existence of international forces to monitor cease fire and achieving a degree of security and discipline , in addition to applying the resolution 1593 and questioning the criminals who committed crimes in Darfor and doing procedures to build up trust through changing the administrations found in Darfor which were a part of the problem . They are condemned for committing criminal actions or cover them . In addition to compensating all those who were injured or afflicted and those who are in the refugees' camps , individual compensation to those whose money was stolen or whose properties were arsoned . Collective compensation ; by setting up schools and hospitals . As for the political solution . it needs a sort of dialogue ; gathering all the people of Darfor including all the political and social powers in the region to restore the position as it was before 1989 . the share of Darfor in authority and fortune should be according to the volume of the residents . this symposium of Darfor should be shown in another Sudanese symposium in a frame of similar procedures to the rest of Sudan so as to be as a guarantee to support Darfor's demands .

In his opinion , there is no use for unifying the movement , but they should unify the demands . He didn't think the ruling government would offer condescension because that means a condemnation to the government policy and the required demands means to change " Nefesha convention " for peace with the popular movement which granted the ruling party 52 % of authority . Now the interests of Sudan is in return for the interests of the national conference party . When the government talks about near elections , and they will be democratic ; after that , as a means of escape ahead . It is difficult for the elections to be consummated while there is no stability in the south , besides a lot of people in the north should be registered for the polls . Likewise in

Darfor , one third of the residents are in the camps and they won't accept any registering before the government responds to their rights . 20 % of Sudan are homeless . the elections can be cheated and they would have nothing to do with the people and their real will . all the initiatives done by the neighboring countries to solve the problem of Darfor will be useless unless the government admits that they represent only one opinion from different opinions in the Sudan , and all these opinions need to be compromised .

In Morocco , Abu Mossab Abdul Wadoud inaugurated the construction of El Quaeda with the Islamic coalition group for fighting in Algeria . He formulated their scattering battalion and regiments in the east and west of Algeria and the borders of the neighboring countries and in the African coast ; where he redistributed the terroristic map after he defined the missions and the plans and the quality of the operation of each group . Then , series of terrible explosion shocked the Algerian capital in April 2007 . It hit the government palace and the building of the ministry of home affairs . the new strategy of Quaeda in Morocco represents in two main points :

_ Opening new lines and areas to smuggle weapons , making unnoticed deals with the wandering Bedouin tribes in the African coast areas especially , El Taw ark and similar groups in Mali's borders – Algeria and succeeded in bringing some weapons ; yet the great part of these operations were busted and destroyed by Algerian security forces , after they spread military and security forces along the Moroccan – Algerian borders from one part and the African coast countries around the clock from other part .

_ the second point was to attract new members to this area and train them how to make blast explosives and suicide cars ., and send them back home to carry out their operations and that relatively what they succeeded to do in Tunisia , Mauritania and Morocco .

Algerian authorities in collaboration with the Moroccan security forces to decode the recruiting and penetrate Quaeda . Algeria arrested groups of terrorists in Libya , Mauritania and Nigeria before going up to the mountains where their fortifications in the Algerian east states are existing , besides , killing Sami Si'od ; the leader of recruiting cell in Quaeda of Morocco . On the other hand , the latter realized the new strategy to paralyse and beat their agents . they decided to face the Moroccan security forces . they gave up secrecy and accepted the challenge with the authorities .
