I find it shocking that the seeming majority of Sudan's (self-declared) political leaders appear much more in favor of designating Sudan's Muslim Brotherhood movement a terrorist organization than the RSF. Why is that? Is it that these individuals are just so aligned with the RSF, either politically or ideologically? Is it the multiple decades of trauma inflicted by the kaizan which is a greater fear than living under an RSF state? Either way, what these leaders dont understand is what the effect of such a designation would be on the country as a whole and its prospects for recovery. These same people protest the potential negative consequences of designating the RSF an FTO, as if humanitarian aid is flowing to civilians under their control already, which it clearly is not. Now imagine no aid flowing to anywhere in the country because of allegations that Muslim Brotherhood members are still active within ministries or state governments. Try traveling outside Sudan on a passport produced by a Foreign Ministry alleged to have MB members apart of it. You wouldn't make very far. And how will these leaders later be able to prove that they have sufficiently purged their ranks of MB members to satisfy a removal of the sanctions? Guess what? You wont--you will never be able to prove the negative. These leaders are arresting any hope of recovery and condemning the entire country to a new version of what they experienced under the US State Sponsor of Terror sanctions. Mind you, this is no defense of the Muslim Brotherhood. I firmly believe they are a threat to Sudan's future recovery, but I urge people--especially those who claim to be policymakers or who claim to speak for Sudanese civilians--be careful what you wish for. Such a sanction will have far greater negative consequences for a much broader swath of average Sudanese than an FTO designation on the RSF alone, which is in fact warranted and could be done in a way that minimizes harm to the vast majority of the country.
