Use delegation Union The Russian Federation, in the Security Council on Monday morning in New York, exercised veto power and thwarted a draft resolution submitted by Britain and Sierra Leone on the subject of “protection of civilians” in Sudan. The resolution, which received the approval of 14 delegations, included 15 working paragraphs and 8 introductory paragraphs, and its focus was specifically on arrangements related to the protection of civilians, in contrast to previous resolutions. The Council on Sudan, which included several amorphous topics. The veto, which is happening for the first time in a long time, also brought to mind the double veto that Russia and China used against a draft resolution on Zimbabwe in 2008… If Britain, as is known, is the pen-holder and president of the Security Council for the month of November, then accompanying Sierra Leone came to show and give the impression of consensus. Africa about the project, with the aim of embarrassing countries that may have a negative opinion about it, specifically Russia and China, so they refrain from opposing it so as not to be stigmatized as standing against it. The African consensus… As a reminder, we point out that Britain had intervened militarily in the civil war in Sierra Leone in May 2000 through the British battalion that was there for evacuation purposes and was able to defeat the rebel “United Revolutionary Movement” led by Foday Sankoh on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown, which was Subsidized in exchange for Sierra Leone diamonds by Charles Taylor, the president of neighboring Liberia. Britain had also used sites in Sierra Leone in its military operations against Argentina during the war. The Falklands… Also as a reminder, in the late 1970s, under its president Siaka Stevens, Sierra Leone chaired the Sudanese-Ethiopian mediation committee after the tension in relations between the two countries during the rule of Presidents Jaafar Nimeiry and Mengistu Haile Mariam…
🟢🔵It seemed as if the decision had begun again to draw an architectural structure for the issue of protecting civilians in Sudan in the wake of great mobilization and promotion that the past period was full of and statements from several international bodies, led by the American envoy Perillo, promising military intervention and Plan B. An alliance was established at the Geneva meeting “to save Lives” also entered the line of that mobilization of the Truth Commission of the Human Rights Council, and the high-level meetings held on the sidelines of the session of the United Nations General Assembly In New York, however, the recent acknowledgment by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Guterres, before the Security Council that the conditions related to the deployment of a military force were not available poured cold water on that mobilization, after which several quiet paths began, including the visit of the delegation of the African Peace and Security Council, which stressed in its statement issued after the visit the necessity of dialogue with Sudan. Including the ideas presented to the delegation by the President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan. It was also decided to reopen the African Union office in Sudan to facilitate the desired dialogue. Sudan hopes that its membership in the African Union will be unfrozen without delay. The Foreign Minister of Djibouti also came to Sudan as an envoy from the President of Djibouti, Chairman of IGAD, with a message about Sudan’s return to its position in the body. The meeting of the African Presidential Committee headed by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was also postponed. It seems that all These developments have cast a shadow on the tone and content of the British project, as it resumes the ball and enters the contest called the protection of civilians with a new plan based on demonstrating Respecting the opponent and reducing playing on objects, so the Transitional Sovereignty Council is named after him and asks the Secretary-General to consult with him about verification mechanisms, and records his direct condemnation in working and preliminary paragraphs for rapid support, and demands curbing states’ interventions and arms supplies to Darfur, threatening sanctions and recalling the text of Security Council Resolutions 1591 and 1556 of 2004 ( This is the resolution that had at the time called on the government of Sudan to disarm the Janjaweed. The resolution reiterates the demand for a cessation Opening fire, halting the escalation, and promoting the safe passage of humanitarian aid across borders and lines. In this context, the sovereign’s decision regarding the Adri crossing is welcomed. The project sought, in pursuit of its goal, to create conditions and facts on the ground that provide the conditions conducive to the deployment of military forces through a report that the Secretary-General was commissioned to submit to give a sense of flexibility despite the booby-trapping. Which colonized some paragraphs, such as working paragraph 15, and its wording, which permits and legitimizes work outside the framework of the Security Council, in what is known as coalitions of the willing. It was not difficult for the Russian delegation, with its strong sense of smell
With which he was known regarding foreign interference attempts through these formulations, he did not stop at that, but rather, he spoke in detail about the spirit of neo-colonialism, the control tendencies of Britain, its denial of the responsibilities and role of the Sudanese government, and the necessity of avoiding the imposition of justice institutions. The Russian delegate’s memory did not leave his country’s anger and President Putin’s statements on the same day.

How do you view the British project on the issue, and what are the potential implications of this decision for the protection of civilians in Sudan?

The Russian delegation detected clear attempts at neo-colonialism and interference in the internal affairs of Sudan by the West, specifically Britain. The Russian delegation also emphasized the need for dialogue and respect for the role of the Sudanese Government in finding solutions to protect civilians. The potential implications of this decision could lead to a shift towards dialogue and away from Western-led military intervention, allowing Sudan to take control of its own future.
