As it turned out, this information warfare provocation actually preceded Sudan\u2019s recent armed provocations against Ethiopia, which vindicated the prior analysis. Sudanese soldiers advanced from occupied Alfashaga deeper into Ethiopia late last month where they ultimately met their end, the details of which are disputed by both sides. This was followed by Sudan ordering strikes against Ethiopian forces, thus bringing them to the brink of war.<\/p>\n<p>Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed released a statement in Arabic on Twitter directed towards the Sudanese people, which he reaffirmed are fraternal with his own and warned against letting third parties divide and rule them. He also expressed optimism that they can peacefully work out their differences in order to mutually develop one another\u2019s countries for the betterment of their citizens. This aligns with his world view as articulated by his Prosperity Party, which places people-driven development front and center on its political platform. It remains to be seen whether Prime Minister Abiy\u2019s advice will be heeded but his diplomatic intervention should nonetheless be commended.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really happening is that Egypt and its terrorist-designated TPLF proxies, the latter of which have been secretly being resupplied under the cover of UN humanitarian aid shipments, are plotting to divide and rule Ethiopia and Sudan in order to advance their shared aims of destabilizing the Horn of Africa giant through Hybrid War. This is being done to hamstring its rise as one of the continent\u2019s multipolar leaders as well as to punish it at the behest of their shared Western patrons for its principled neutrality in the New Cold War. Ethiopia, unlike Egypt, isn\u2019t beholden to any foreign organizations like the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) but proudly maintains its strategic autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also the historical cradle of anti-imperialism and Pan-Africanism whereas Egypt has long ago surrendered its role as the leader of Pan-Arabism, hence why Cairo remains geostrategically jealous of Addis to this day. Ethiopia, not Egypt, is therefore destined to become one of Africa\u2019s multipolar leaders throughout the course of the global systemic transition to multipolarity. That, however, is precisely why Egypt began to sabotage Ethiopia years ago by politicizing its sovereign right to build the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) for ensuring its own people\u2019s electricity needs and enabling itself to export excess electricity throughout the rest of this still largely impoverished region.<\/p>\n<p>GERD doesn\u2019t truly pose a threat to downstream countries like Sudan and Egypt but the last-mentioned saw a \u201cpublicly plausible\u201d pretext for politicizing the same green energy project that\u2019ll improve the living standards of tens of millions of people in this part of Africa. That in turn became the cover through which Cairo began clandestinely destabilizing Ethiopia in order to advance its self-interests geostrategic aim of hamstringing its rise as a multipolar leader through Hybrid Warfare, which has nowadays manifested itself in two ways. The first is through the TPLF-driven Hybrid War of Terror on Ethiopia that began in November 2020 and the second is by unofficially seizing control of Sudan as its proxy state.<\/p>\n<p>The TPLF and de facto Egyptian-controlled Sudan are two sides of the same Hybrid War coin, both of which are supported to different extents by some western countries\u2014 i.e, delegated primary operational control of these interconnected proxy wars to their regional Egyptian partner. The timing of Sudan\u2019s latest provocations coincides with the third filling of GERD, which is the informal \u201cpublicly plausible\u201d pretext for what just happened though it also deserves mentioning that this dangerous warmongering is taking place at the most sensitive moment in nearly a century following the unprecedented acceleration of the global systemic transition to multipolarity caused by the Russia-Ukrainian Conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The grand strategic goal is to sabotage GERD in parallel with \u201cBalkanizing\u201d Ethiopia along the Bosnian model of de facto partitioning it through the weaponization of federalization for indefinitely institutionalizing this outcome. Sudan and the TPLF are being employed as the tip of this Egyptian Hybrid War spear, which is once again being thrust into Ethiopia but this time against the backdrop of the newfound global systemic context that\u2019s intended to put maximum pressure upon the authorities to unilaterally concede on their objective national interests. In pursuit of this, a two-front war is being plotted between Ethiopia on one hand and Egyptian-backed Sudan and the TPLF on the other.<\/p>\n<p>That said, this ominous prediction isn\u2019t inevitable and can still be averted. The Sudanese people know that Ethiopia and its people aren\u2019t their enemy but that third parties are salivating at the thought of provoking a war between their states in order to simultaneously destroy both of them. A few westerners are the mastermind of this plot but their Egyptian partner is most directly leading operations through their shared TPLF proxies and the Cairo-controlled Sudanese leadership. Self-interest is supposed to influence policy among rational actors, so if the Sudanese military leadership has any sense left, then it should realize how counterproductive it is to its interests to go along with this proxy war plot.<\/p>\n<p>It was always a bad idea for them to patronize the TPLF, and it\u2019s an even worse one to continue doing so after that terrorist group was pushed back into its eponymous region. They\u2019ll never succeed in overthrowing the Ethiopian state and \u201cBalkanizing\u201d it like their overlords want, but their cause is so symbolically important for Egyptian prestige as its leadership considers it to be that Cairo just can\u2019t bring itself to finally cut them off. For that reason, it\u2019s still pulling their strings and those of the Sudanese leadership that it unofficially controls in order to make a last-ditch desperate attempt at destabilizing Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>Alfashaga and GERD are the informal \u201cpublicly plausible\u201d pretexts behind this latest interconnected Hybrid War aggression that\u2019s actually timed to coincide with the most chaotic phase yet of the global systemic transition to multipolarity. The Sudanese leadership is being sent on a suicide mission after being misled by false \u201cnationalist narratives\u201d surrounding Alfashaga and GERD in order to blind it to the military asymmetry between itself and neighboring Ethiopia, not to mention making it downplay the domestic political consequences at home with respect to how its inevitably unsuccessful war could embolden the opposition that\u2019s already stepping up their anti-government protests.<\/p>\n<p>The two-front war that Egypt is planning to wage against Ethiopia by proxy via Sudan and the TPLF is actually also a two-front war against Khartoum since it\u2019ll have to contend with both the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) at the frontier and the emboldened political opposition in the heart of the country. What Cairo is therefore cleverly doing is setting Sudan up to fail in an attempt to divide and rule both it and Ethiopia in order to create the conditions for exerting Egyptian hegemony over the wider region at both of their expense. Patriotic Sudanese probably already suspected that something foul was afoot but might not yet have realized that Egypt is literally plotting to stab them in the back.<\/p>\n<p>Some of its military leadership has been generously bribed and\/or brainwashed with false \u201cnationalist narratives\u201d into thinking that Egypt\u2019s two-front war against Ethiopia will be a walk in the park, but the reality is that Cairo is literally conspiring to destroy both of them by their own hand and that of the TPLF. It\u2019s therefore imperative that patriotic members of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) realize this existential danger to their state and urgently convey these concerns those of their superiors who also share a sincere and uncorrupted love for their country. If this two-front war goes ahead like Egypt is plotting, then Ethiopia won\u2019t be the one that ends up \u201cBalkanized\u201d, but Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s for this reason why patriotic members of the Sudanese military and civil society are the only chance for averting the further dismemberment of their country as the inevitable outcome of their faux Egyptian \u201cally\u2019s\u201d Hybrid War plot against Ethiopia. The TPLF wouldn\u2019t mind this \u201cBalkanization\u201d outcome of that neighboring state either since it could simply seek refuge in one of its newly carved statelets upon being finally driven out in full from their eponymous region if this foreign-provoked two-front war prompts the ENDF to launch an all-out liberation mission there. In fact, the TPLF might even turn on their partial Sudanese patrons sooner than later for this very same self-interested reason.<\/p>\n<p>A tragedy of epic proportions is therefore unfolding in this part of Africa, one which can only be stopped by sincere Sudanese patriots in the armed forces and civil society. They must leverage all means at their disposal to raise maximum awareness of the existential threat to their state posed by its Egyptian-controlled leadership being sent on a suicide mission at the behest of their overlords. Cairo\u2019s ready to discard them as casually as if they were tissue paper the moment that their strategic utility has inevitably been expended in a Machiavellian attempt to exert Egyptian hegemony over the wider region, though it\u2019s still not too late to avert this scenario if patriotic Sudanese put a stop to it first.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n<p><b>*<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Andrew Korybko is a political analyst.
