Israel’s Involvement in South Sudan
Clashes between Sudan and South Sudan over the oil-rich city of Heglig led to the defeat of the South.
As Sudanese president put it the war seems to have entered a new phase after liberation of Heglig. He announced that it is just the beginning and that war will continue until liberation of the entire Sudan from Al-Khuna to Mariqin.
He reiterated that from now on he will hold no talks with the South and that only weapons and guns will do the talking.
In addition to issues like profiteering by some parties and ethnic differences that have led to bloody clashes in the two countries, what seems to be noteworthy in the clashes is the role of the Zionist regime. Israel is adding fuel to the ethnic and political differences in Sudan and South Sudan in line with its own interests.
There are clues that the Zionist regime, since the beginning sought division of Sudan. 63 years ago David Ben-Gurion the first Prime Minister of the Zionist regime said the fake entity’s borders should “extend from the Nile to the Euphrates”.
Later, Zionist foreign ministry advisor Oded Yinon referred to dividing Arab countries based on ethnic or sectarian borders as the regime’s strategy in the 1980s. He called Sudan the most volatile and dividable country in the Arab world for the presence of four clashing ethnic groups in the country.
Moshe Faraji, a founding member of the Israeli spy agency Mossad, in his book ‘Sudan Division: Mossad Wrote the Script’ says that Israel’s overall goal is to oppose Arabic ethnicity and establish Zionist presence in the region. This, he writes, has made Israel intensify its efforts to create chaos in Darfur and other parts of southern Sudan.
Avi Dichter, a former head of Israel's Shin Bet (internal security service) and later interior minister in Ehud Olmert’s cabinet, in a meeting years ago said that Israel’s position on Sudan has always been to prevent it from joining the club of wealthy Arab countries. He said Sudan is a large country with abundant recourses and internal stability can turn it into a major regional power.
Dichter expressed worries over a prospective peace plan between the central government and rebels in the South, saying Israel ought to foment internal crises in Sudan to prevent it from becoming a powerful unified country.
According to Dichter, all Israeli leaders have pursued this strategy regarding Sudan.
It was based on this strategy that Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contacted South Sudan’s president right after the country declared its independence to say that Israel will provide South Sudan with any assistance it needs. They also agreed to open an Israeli embassy in South Sudan.
Soon an Israeli delegation visited South Sudan’s capital Juba and later South Sudanese president made a trip to Tel Aviv. In a meeting with Shimon Peres, he said his country owed its independence to the efforts made by Israel at the international scene. “Without Israel [‘s assistance] there wouldn't be a South Sudan. You fought alongside us so that South Sudan could be established,” he said.
