The Sudanese people are looking forward to a new phase in their country's history, one that embodies a state of justice and law. This state is not just about having laws in place, but also about ensuring fairness, protecting rights, and upholding justice among citizens without discrimination or favoritism. The Sudanese people have endured a lot during difficult years and are now expecting a real change, not just a change in faces or slogans.
The concept of a state of justice and law is closely tied to the Sudanese national dialogue, which is seen as a crucial step towards uniting the country, gathering support, and agreeing on a national project that prioritizes Sudan's interests over narrow interests. Sudan needs an honest dialogue that includes everyone, sets the foundations for stability, and establishes a phase that accommodates everyone, accepting differences in views within the framework of one country.
One of the key economic issues that needs to be addressed is the unification of the salary structure. It is unreasonable that salaries vary in a way that undermines the value of public office or makes employees feel that their efforts are not being fairly compensated. A fair and equitable review is needed, taking into account the nature of work, achieving balance between institutions, and preserving the dignity of workers and their families.
Combating smuggling and monopolizing goods is another important battle in building the state. Smuggling drains the country's resources, and monopolies exacerbate citizens' suffering, making markets hostage to narrow interests. Strengthening control over the movement of goods, organizing markets, and pursuing illegal practices according to the law are necessary, while ensuring the flow of basic goods to citizens at reasonable prices.
The livelihood of citizens is the real test of any successful economic policy. Citizens want to find medicine within their reach, education available for their children, and basic services such as water, electricity, and healthcare without excessive hardship. They also expect stable prices and improved job opportunities so that Sudanese families can regain some of their ability to plan for their lives.
The issue of pensions is another file that deserves attention. Retirees, who have spent years serving the state and society, are not seeking charity but expect rights that guarantee them a dignified life. Their pensions need to be reviewed in line with living costs, and their health and social situations need to be addressed. They are an integral part of the nation's memory of national contribution, and their years of service should not be a prelude to new suffering.
Finally, the issue of school fees is a pressing concern. Education is a fundamental right, not a commodity that families should be unable to afford. The cost of education has become a heavy burden for many parents, especially under current economic conditions. A review of fees is necessary to balance the continuity of educational institutions and the ability of families, with clear controls to prevent citizens from bearing burdens beyond their capacity.
