Sudanese culture at the crossroads: between absence and national duty

Calm down.
This article is intended for Dr. Siddiq al-Zai ' idiya and Dr. Majdi Isaac, both of which embodie a living model of the culture needed at this critical juncture. No effort has been spared in raising political awareness and positive engagement in public affairs, benefiting from various social communication platforms, each of which has a unique way of delivering thought and knowledge.
In addition to publishing books and participating in public symposia, Dr. Majdi Isaac chose the method of intellectual capsules to broadcast positive and thought-provoking messages, while Dr. Azl ' s friend resorted to a simple and transparent language that addressed the public ' s grandparents, inspired by a healthy sense of responsibility.

In the wake of this futile war, the Sudan is going through a critical phase of its political and social history; a phase in which standards have been mixed, and many values and institutions that have been guarding the awareness of the Assembly and national identity have collapsed, and among other things, the Sudanese culture has declined -- in part or in whole -- from performing its natural role in enlightenment, careful analysis, community compassing towards the broader horizon and freedom of consciousness.

This absence has left a vast void that has not been delayed in filling the fairness of learners, climbers and opportunists, who have the nerve to speak without knowledge of the truth. They have taken the scene through media platforms and social networking platforms, until the term " strategic expert " itself became a sarcasm when hosting some of them in space channels, not just to weaken the language, but to dint.

The increase in fatigue is public awareness, the transfer of influence tools to the hands of those who do not have the tools of national thought or morality. Political Islam groups, for example, promote the sustainability of this scene by excluding intellectuals and intellectuals with insights and minds from performing their correctional and communicative role, making social media a leaflet, through which visionaries and brains are excluded.

However, despite this regression, the intellectual can still regain its true role; its role is not an intellectual luxury, but a national and moral obligation; it must fall from the tower of academic isolation to the reality of the people, write in a language that is understood by the public, and contribute to the simplification of scientific, political and economic concepts in a clear language, free of interference and no closure.

ما ينبغي عليه أن يكون فاعلًا على منصات التواصل، لا منسحباً؛ حاضناً لحوارات حقيقية، رافضاً للخطاب الشعبوي، مبادراً في قيادة الرأي العام، لا تابعاً له. فبثّ الوعي لا يكون ببيانات النخبة وحدها، بل بتواصل يومي مباشر مع الجماهير، يعلّم ويتعلّم منها، يحترم عقل المواطن، ويستنهض فيه حسّ المسؤولية والمواطنة.

إن إعادة المثقف إلى دائرة الفعل تبدأ بالاعتراف بالتقصير، ثم بالتنظيم مع مثقفين آخرين لمواجهة موجة التجهيل والتغبيش الجماعي، وتكوين منصات بديلة تعيد الاعتبار للفكر والعقل. فالسودان، في هذه اللحظة الحرجة، لا يحتاج إلى مزيد من الصمت، بل إلى أصوات عاقلة تزرع الأمل، وتفضح الزيف الذي تفشّى حتى كاد أن يطغى على المشهد،
