Sudan’s Relations Between Christ and the Antichrist Capt Mohamed Hassan Al-Tahir

Relations between nations are not merely about exchanging interests or defining geographical borders. They are instead a complex network of causes, purposes, and conditions—

just as relationships between things in philosophy are built on causal, teleological, conditional, or mathematical foundations.

The Central Question Can Sudan’s relations with its neighbors be understood through these foundations, or are there deeper historical and religious “genes” that shape their course, driven by motives as the proverb says:“

– Every person is revealed by his honor.”

From the space between popular wisdom and political reality, human motives unfold through historical narratives passed down across generations, shaping identities and personalities.

An Egyptian proverb says: “

– If the beginning is conditional, the end is light.”

This reflects the idea that any relationship begins with clear conditions, ends with peace and clarity.

Such a proverb serves as a diplomatic principle, for no balanced relationship can be built without agreed-upon conditions.

By contrast, a Sudanese proverb says: “

– Eat as brothers, but settle accounts as traders.”

This highlights the tension between fraternity and interest, as if relations between nations swing between emotion and pragmatism.

This tension is embodied in the Egyptian student’s witty answer to the popular question:“

– Does the fox give birth or lay eggs?”

The student replied humorously:

– Honestly, I don’t know, but the fox is cunning—it might do both.”

Such patterns of thought reflect that politics is not always logical; it can be full of maneuvering and the ability to adapt to all possibilities.

Sudan Between Christianity and the Antichrist :

Sudan was once a Christian kingdom, built on teachings such as:

– Turn to him the other cheek.

”This meant tolerance and patience in the face of aggression. Yet with the accumulation of historical and political experiences, these Christian “genes” seem to have adapted, becoming more capable of self-defense and of safeguarding sanctity against any threat.

 Perhaps this renewal in the “genes of guardianship” was religiously shaped through proactive immunization against narratives resembling those of the Antichrist—symbolizing deception, sedition, and domination.

The Essential Question Do Sudan’s relations with its neighbors today still carry the imprint of those ancient Christian genes, or have they evolved into a more pragmatic approach, calculating power and interest above all else?Perhaps Sudan lives between two legacies:

– The legacy of Christ, which calls for tolerance,And

– the legacy of the Antichrist, which warns against deception.

Thus, its foreign relations appear to be a blend of both.

Conclusion :

Relations between nations are not mere political equations; they are historical, cultural, and religious accumulations. Sudan is a vivid example of this interplay between:

– Popular wisdom,

– Christian heritage

– And real-world challenges.

So will Sudan continue to lean toward “the other cheek,” or will it choose to be “the cunning fox” that both gives birth and lays eggs at once?
