Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The Saudi academic, Khaled Al-Dakhil, criticized the military rule in Sudan and some Arab countries, explaining that he had come to offer the republic a better and newer alternative to the monarchy in the Arab world, but it soon became clear that he was an enemy of the republics, he said.
Khaled Al-Dakhil said in tweets on his Twitter page, Saturday: “The military rule came under the pretext that it presents the republic as a better and newer alternative to the monarchy in the Arab world, then it soon became clear that the military rule is in fact an enemy of republics before monarchies. His claim was false because it is an enemy of the idea of the state. The military devoted the struggle to power, not to the state. Their imagination and aspirations remained much shorter than that.”
Al-Dakhil added, in another tweet about the clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, that “what is happening in Sudan intensifies the military and militias’ collaboration in killing the idea of the republic in the Arab world, and with it the idea of the state.”
He pointed out that “Egyptian writer Saad Eddin Ibrahim once described the military regime as the Jamalukyat. An ambiguous name for the republics, and the ambiguity paved the way for the militias to complete the elimination of the state, a political path that did not stop.”
The Saudi academic also talked about the regime of the late Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and his relationship with military rule, saying in a third tweet: “Gaddafi expresses the reality of military rule, after his coup, and Abdel Nasser Amin described him as Arab nationalism. Then he changed the name of the Republic to the Jamahiriya to consecrate the popular basis for his rule. “Emperor of Africa. He was reckless in his speech and behavior. Despite this, he remained in power for more than 41 years that an Arab king would not dream of.”
