‎In ‎‎light of the problematic circumstances that Sudan is going through, there is an urgent need for national unity and a deep awareness of the dangers surrounding the country from all sides. The homeland today stands at a crossroads, where internal and external conflicts are intertwined in a complex scene. Attempts to dismantle the unity of the Sudanese people and destabilize them through multiple tools are manifested, most notably spreading discord and strengthening divisions among its components, the spread of hate speech, and the dangers of civil strife.‎
‎Conspiracies threatening Sudan:‎
‎It is no secret that Sudan is facing systematic attempts to divide and weaken it, by exploiting political, economic, and social conditions to tear apart its national fabric. Many parties are working to achieve these agendas, whether by fueling tribal conflicts, manipulating the demands of society groups, or using malicious methods to fuel conflicts, to impose a new reality that serves narrow interests, away from the higher national interest.‎
‎In light of these challenges, it becomes necessary for the Sudanese national forces to be aware of the gravity of the stage and to be fully vigilant to protect Sudan from being dragged into the quagmire of fragmentation and developments of the war. Preserving the unity of the country is not a slogan, but a collective responsibility that requires a firm national stance, and a conscious vision that transcends personal and partisan interests toward the ultimate goal, which is to preserve a united, stable, and strong Sudan.‎
‎The role of Sudanese women in confronting dismantling:‎
‎Sudanese women have always been at the forefront of the national struggle, in the independence struggles and the uprisings of our people against the military and dictatorship through peaceful movement, and even efforts to build society in the most difficult times. Today, with increasing challenges, its role has become increasingly important, as it has a major responsibility to heal the rift and reunite the Sudanese, whether in its family, community, or political environment.‎
‎Sudanese women are not only generation-makers, they are also the guardians of national values, capable of influencing their surroundings with their awareness and insightful vision. Hence, its role is not limited to raising awareness and protecting the social fabric but extends to taking decisive positions against all attempts to tear Sudan apart and sow discord among its people.‎
‎* Dealing responsibly and consciously at the critical stage:‎
‎The current stage requires all of us, men and women, to deal with high responsibility and excessive awareness of everything that is being plotted against the Sudan. We must not be fuel for conflicts that serve parties that do not want the good of our homeland. The duty now is to put the interest of Sudan above all else, to renounce all forms of division, and to work together for a homeland that can accommodate all, where there is no place for sedition and no room for conspiracies.‎
‎Sudan today needs the unity of its national forces, and its women, who have always been a symbol of steadfastness and giving. Let our motto at this stage be: a united, stable, and secure Sudan, protected by the arms of its sons and daughters, and defended by its living forces with all awareness and sincerity.‎
