Which Role Do We Choose?
The Sudanese Person Between the Absolute Object, the Direct Object, and the Accompanied Object*
(A contemplative vision from a linguistic, cultural, and intellectual perspective on the state of the Sudanese individual)

In a world where nations compete for leadership and peoples strive to shape their destinies,
The Sudanese person stands at a crossroads between being:
an *active agent
– * in the sentence of history,
amere object
– acted upon and marginalized,
an *accompanied object*
– walking alongside the agent without being one — neither in word nor deed.
*Refined Language (The Beginning of the Solution )
Language is not merely a tool for communication but it is
– a mirror of thought,
– an instrument of awareness,
– and a key to liberation.
The primitive person speaks a primitive language —
not because it lacks vocabulary, but because it is:
– limited in vision,
– incapable of expressing complex meanings or carrying profound ideas.
Refined language, on the other hand, is the beginning of the solution. It:
– opens doors to understanding,
– liberates the individual from the chains of dependency,
– and grants the tools of critical thinking.
Hence we say:
Objective Thinking (The Beginning of Justice ) :
When a person
– frees themselves from emotional impulses,
– transcends prejudice,
– and begins to think objectively,
They take their first steps toward justice.
Justice is not born of emotion, but of the ability to see reality as it is and analyze it with a detached mind.
When the Sudanese individual is equipped with the tools of objective thinking, they become capable of:
– questioning authority,
– re-examining history,
– and rebuilding the present with awareness and encyclopedic foresight.
*The Encyclopedic Framework (The Ultimate Hope) :
It is not enough to possess refined language or to think objectively if we lack an encyclopedic awareness that:
– connects various fields of knowledge,
– and comprehends the complexities of the world.
The encyclopedic framework is the ultimate hope, for it
Frees the mind from narrow perspectives and enables connections between:
– economics and politics,
– culture and history,
– the self and the other.
Today, the Sudanese person stands at a junction between:
– the *absolute object*,
– the *direct object*,
– the *accompanied object*.
*The Absolute Object ( The Self-Driven Actor) :
In this context, the “absolute object” represents the person who:
– chooses to be an agent in the sentence of life, even if grammatically placed as an emphatic or explanatory element,
– repeats their action with intention, affirms it with strength, and gives it meaning.
This is the one who sows goodness on
– any land,
– under any sky, and
– with any person —
not seeking reward, but believing that the rain will one day reveal where the seeds were planted.
*The Direct Object ( The One Receiving the Blows) :
The “direct object” is:
– the person upon whom actions are imposed, without agency,
– the one to whom discourse is dictated, whose identity is constructed by others, and who is pushed to the margins.
When the Sudanese individual is deprived of encyclopedic expression and excluded from global decision-making circles, they become a direct object in a sentence whose
– subject is unknown
– purpose is unclear.
Thus, their only remaining option may be to shift into the role of the accompanied object.
*The Accompanied Object (The Passive Companion) :
The “accompanied object” walks alongside the agent, appearing to participate, but not truly sharing in the action. They become:
– the present absentee,
– the silent witness,
– summoned only to complete the picture, not to change it.
When the Sudanese person is called upon:
– as a witness to a scene they do not own,
– – or as a silent partner in decisions they were never consulted on,
they become an accompanied object — physically present, but absent in effect.
*Conclusion:
Which Role Do We Choose?
Among these grammatical roles lies an existential dilemma:
– Do we accept being a direct object, upon whom actions are imposed?
– Do we settle for being an accompanied object, walking beside the agents without influence?
– Or do we aspire to be an absolute object — affirming our actions and shaping our destiny with our own will?
Our lives are short, but a beautiful imprint remains, even when its maker is gone.
Let us plant beauty, even in unlikely places — for beauty is never lost, wherever it is sown.
Let us be agents, not objects, in the sentence of life.
The people of Sudan are worthy of all that is good.
