This book explores the reasons behind the failure to build a nation-state and the persistence of poverty in Sudan, despite its abundant resources. The book blends surreal symbolic style with realistic narration and adopts bold and innovative theses. It proposes a first-of-its-kind approach to explaining political phenomena through psychosociological catalysts in the case of Sudan, offering unconventional answers aimed at transforming diversity into a richness that harmonizes with the (virtual) reality.
The book aims to extract Sudan from its bottleneck and launch it into vast horizons and a dignified life. The book is divided into three interconnected parts, hierarchically and logically sequenced; the first part is dedicated to describing the crisis and diagnosing the elements that prolonged it. The second part delves into dissecting the problem through comparative analysis of similar historical cases from the African continent to Sudan's situation, in order to build an argument about how and whether the crisis can be overcome. The last part summarizes the first two parts and presents a project for addressing the political, economic, and social roots of the crisis. Dr. Al-Tijani Ahmed introduces his book with a definition stating: "As we present this book to the reader, we seek to contribute intellectually to crystallizing visions that lead to a radical cure for the political problem in Sudan. For this purpose, we have endeavored to adopt honesty in our approach and objectivity in presenting issues, fully aware that the ideas and opinions we present in this book will not necessarily be accepted by everyone, but we hope they will contribute to stimulating a scientific and objective discussion about the nation's critical issues, which will only be achieved if everyone agrees to manage a rational dialogue away from entrenched positions and demonizing others or questioning their patriotism.
This book is an invitation to all intellectuals and opinion leaders for an honest self-reflection and to ask the crucial question: What brought Sudan to this tunnel? And how can salvation be achieved?"
