Remnants of the dissolved NCP and allies, including elements associated with the former Sudanese security and military apparatus, in Port Sudan continues to push forward with the Sudanese Certificate exams, despite the ongoing civil war devastating the country.
The decision not only highlights the disregard for the country’s humanitarian crisis and growing instability, but also displays Muslim Brotherhood’s aim of installing loyalists within the government cadres.
A new report has exposed the deep infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan’s Popular Resistance movements. The report calls for comprehensive investigations into the Brotherhood’s expanding influence within the military, particularly within General al-Burhan’s SAF’s ranks.
In a revealing article, Sudanese writer Dr. Al-Nour Hamad emphasizes that Muslim Brotherhood’s sole priority is to maintain power. MB was created to grab power at any cost, they have consistently pursued victory—though ironically, they have failed in every conflict they have engaged in, from the war in the south to the battles in Darfur, the Nuba Mountains, and Blue Nile, and even the ongoing civil war.
Despite this string of defeats, MB’s resolve to monopolize power remains unchanged, as they continue to assert political dominance while leaving others marginalized.
Sudanese protests continue to intensify, demanding an end to the violent actions of the Muslim Brotherhood’s armed factions. A new exposé reveals the MB’s strategy of concealing its influence behind newly formed political entities, all while further consolidating their control over the nation’s resources.
Dr. Hamad further criticizes the MB for their pursuit of financial gain at the expense of the Sudanese people. Over decades, they have manipulated markets, dismissed qualified employees, and positioned their members in key governmental roles, while systematically looting the country’s wealth.
The result is a nation where economic development has stagnated, reduced to a laughingstock among its neighbors. Hamad describes the MB as a deviant religious faction, now transformed into a parasitic gang with motives centered solely on power and wealth, indifferent to the welfare of the nation.
The army-controlled government’s insistence on holding the Sudanese Certificate exams, particularly in areas controlled by the SAF, is further evidence of the MB’s divisive agenda.
Approximately 400,000 students, two-thirds of the total number of exam candidates, reside in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces and will likely be unable to sit for the exams. In a callous move, schools housing refugees have been forcibly evacuated to make space for exam centers—demonstrating that the Port Sudan regime places exams above the urgent needs of displaced families.
The ongoing conflict between Burhan’s SAF and the MB deepens the country’s divisions, with each side intensifying efforts to maintain control. Hamad suggests that the push for these exams is politically motivated, serving to present a false image of state stability.
He argues that this is part of the MB’s campaign to undermine the Rapid Support Forces, while taking advantage of the country’s weakened state to further their own agenda.
The financial burden of the exams, coupled with the deteriorating economic situation, is crushing Sudanese families, many of whom are already struggling to survive. In addition, students attempting to take the exams face significant risks, including arrest under the so-called “foreign faces” law, as they navigate a country in chaos.
In conclusion, Dr. Hamad argues that the MB’s actions regarding the exams are a cynical attempt to project an illusion of control. For decades, Sudan has been subjected to the MB’s manipulation, and these latest developments are just another chapter in their long history of deceit and exploitation.
