Aisha Musa, And Raja Nicolas .. Sudan Is Still Fine
Salah Shoaib
We were very pleased that Ms. Raja Nicolas and Dr. Aisha Musa chose the Sovereign Council for two reasons. The first is because they disagree with the presence of women in this political aspect that complements the executive and legislative branches. The second is that they are worthy of respect and hold both positions. Aisha came from the background of culture and academia. We have experienced her perseverance in the cultural field during the presence of her late extravagant husband, and after his sad absence. Fulfilling its authenticity, it decided to complete the qualitative contributions of the poet “Return to Sinnar”, most notably his association with the founding of the jungle and desert school, along with his colleague Nour Othman Abakar and Mohamed El Makki Ibrahim, in the mid-1960s. While we lost three decades ago the contribution of Abdel Hay al-Mumayaz, academically, poetically, and critically, and an administrative leader in the affairs of culture, who left us without completing the forty-three years, Aisha Musa perseverance sought to continue the authorship, especially the translation of the late Kala Qala.
In addition, Aisha has built ways of cultural handling to become a symbol in the field while her pupils became professors and experts in their disciplines as well. From this point of view, I believe that Dr. Al-Siyadi’s choice is a tribute to her academic and cultural role, before she was honoring her faithful woman to a symbolic poet who has lost his exceptional work, which was not in his middle age. Thus, she nurtured her children, and at the same time was kindness, compassion and kindness, the heartbeat of the people of Sudan, who took the flag from her hands.
Says d. Anwar Ahmed Osman “When Aisha speaks, everyone is silent… High culture… Knowledge of the history of Sudan and knowledge of art, and talk about books of poetry, poets, philosophers, writers, physics, geography and even astronomy. Aisha Musa encyclopedia mobile for those who do not know …… authentic ethics, intelligent mind, clear mind, mature science mature .. A paste of consciousness, transcendence and humility.
We were fortunate to live to see a tribute to women after the collapse of the dictatorship. Rather, the flow of the revolution is superior to putting two of Sudan’s daughters in advanced positions, one of them Aisha.

The other joy was due to the choice of Professor Raja Nicolas Abdel-Masih because of the symbolism of gender as well, the title of tolerance, and the recognition of Sudanese pluralism. Religious, cultural, ideological, ethnic, cultural and gender pluralism received the worst successive blows from the civilization project sown by the Islamic movement. The Copts to whom Nicolas’ hope belongs are an essential part of the Sudanese fabric, and therefore an important part of the mosaic of Christian belief in our country. Their contribution is great in the fields of industry, commerce, culture, management, civil service, art, science and sports. Perhaps the current generation needs to know these contributions, which extended to all parts of Sudan after the past thirty years have targeted the Coptic elite as part of the target in order to destroy the Sudanese diversity.
By reading Raja’s biography, we find that she was associated with her homeland, unlike many of her community who emigrated after the wave of religious obsession that marked the 1990s. She was born in Omdurman, Al-Masalmeh district. She received a Bachelor of Laws from Cairo University in 1980 with a very good grade. The various departments in the ministry, and legal departments in several government agencies, as well as represented Sudan in several ministerial committees.
The presence of Nicolas’ hope in the sovereign represents the beginning of the return of the soul to the collective Sudanese conscience, and the gospel of the new birth of the state. Her representation of Sudanese men and women in the Sovereign Council instead of male representation on this site is not a hit for two innocent birds, but a recognition of the overall efficiency and competence of women. Aside from being a symbol of religious pluralism in this national role, it also represents the general Sudanese women alongside Dr. Aisha Musa, and I can not imagine that the freedom forces intended to mention one another if I forgot to contribute to pushing the urgent issues of Sudanese women. Rather, the aim is to reinforce each other’s role in the importance of ensuring that the list of the Legislative Council and the ministers is not passed, if it is without a genuine representation of the Kandakats who were leading the ranks of the revolution. Otherwise, the presence of Raja in Sovereign is an important message to a large number of Sudanese Coptic immigrants that Sudan is still fine, and that their country is waiting for their role in reconstruction.

The reflection of geographical diversity in the Council of Sovereignty is the right beginning of national recovery after three decades of Islamists seeking to strike the national unity they inherited without disturbance. These policies have torn apart the Sudanese components and fragmented each other in favor of strengthening the Islamist movement, which was intended to be an alternative to the various Sudanese currents in each field. It is true that we wished that the Blue Nile region would find representation across the sovereign. However, this stage, which led to the consensus on the multiplicity of the sovereign component in the part related to the choices of freedom and change, will lead us in the future to complete the shortage and give the plurality of Sudanese representation in our national institutions for the practical recognition of diversity. Attempts to leapfrog this diversity have undoubtedly led to the deterioration of the country, the loss of more than half a century in wars, the loss of resources, the destruction of community structures inherited from colonialism, and the obstruction of the elite until recently.
The presence of these two Sudanese competencies in the Sovereign Council with different academic and practical backgrounds is a message to similar peoples that the Sudanese revolution is distinguished by its sacrifices, its becoming an example, and its conclusions. In ancient Sudan, women were leaders in power and pioneers in the role, with the power of their personality. It did not lag behind in its darkest years of rescue. Her energy was directed to raising her children under a male era that made the law of the regime a reason to suppress her movement in society with surveillance. It even paid a double price for the injustice inflicted on men. Women suffered from the loss of fathers, husbands, children, and the Muslim Brotherhood, thus making it difficult for them to perform all household duties. The exodus of men and the difficulty of the pension that led to the massive divorces deepened the crises of the Sudanese women, but they endured with all skin and patience these adversities. As a result, Aisha, and Raja, represented women in the Sovereign as a beginning to regain all women’s rights in the country.
There are many revolutionary priorities that we have not yet reached for deep reasons, including doubling the number of women in the sovereign. But the journey of inclination begins with a step, and the presence of Raja, Aisha, in the sovereign step towards the deepening of the role of Sudanese women, and there are several other steps need to continue roads on the walks of difficulties, as the poet Mohamed Abdel Hai:
Open the city’s gates tonight
Bedouin are you?
– “No”
– From the Negro country?
– “No”
– I’m of you. He lost his singing tongue, and prayed tongue.
