Press Release
It is Incumbent upon the Wrongdoer to Apologize, not upon the Carrier of the Flag of Truth
(Translated)

Against the backdrop of a statement of the official spokeswoman of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Sudan entitled "The Regime in Sudan Offers the Youth as a Sacrifice to Please America" the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Thought and Education from the ruling National Congress Party, the Brother Abiy Izz Ad-Din, came to the Hizb's office and met Brother Essam Ateem - Coordinator of the Central Communications Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan, on 30/11/2013. The meeting was also attended by Brother Khalil Abdul Rahman - a member of the Communications Committee. The talk revolved around the American relations, especially the latest incident, when the U.S. State Department sent trainers to train the youth of Sudan on many activities including dance, which was the subject of the spokeswoman's press release. The press release showed that the system always offers sacrifices and concessions in order to satisfy America, the latest example being young people offered as a sacrifice to the alleged satisfaction of America. Brother Essam emphasized in his speech that America has an ideology from which their culture emerges which they want to establish in Sudan, while the Sudanese regime helps them to do so. Brother Abiy Issam objected by saying that the cooperation was taking place with the American people. Brother Essam's reply was that the action in question was carried out by the U.S. State Department, which is why it is an official action of the U.S. government with the knowledge and help of the Sudanese regime. Throughout the meeting not a single word from the side of Hizb ut Tahrir was uttered which amounted to an understanding or apology in favor of what is known from the relations of the Sudanese regime with America.

Therefore we were surprised by the odd words published in the As-Sudani Newspaper on 03/12/2013 in the form of a response written by Brother Abiy Izz Ad-Din, in which it said: "We thank Hizb ut Tahrir, which understood the matter after it was clarified..." This statement suggests that we implicitly agreed to what happened. The second surprise was his description of the Hizb with "extremism" on his Facebook page.

We in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Sudan say to Brother Abiy and other employees of the government: What Hizb ut Tahrir understands from this regime is that it is keen to satisfy America, even at the expense of the country erring in its path and corrupting the morals of its people. We said - and we repeat our saying - that this regime gave Southern Sudan as a sacrifice to satisfy America and even predestined the rest of the Sudanese regions to secession through the ill-fated Nevasha Accord. We affirm what was stated in the spokeswoman's press release that it is the state's duty to educate young people about the culture of Islam in the academic curricula and the media and to train them as soldiers, instead of training them in dancing by American experts, be it lewd dance or not.

As to our alleged apology, as stated on his page, then this is nothing but a pure lie. What are we to apologize for?! They are the ones upon whom an apology is incumbent, because they committed wrongdoings that require an apology to the Ummah, repentance to Allah and to return to Him after more than twenty harsh years of ruling by other than Islam and compromising the unity of the country.

As for the description of the Hizb with extremism: It is not strange for a regime keen on pleasing America that its members use the very same phrases and words issued by the Kaffir West. It is the culture they have learned themselves and want to teach the children of the Muslims, which is the American culture. It is this very culture which describes the ones who work to establish the rule of Allah on earth, and seek to resume the Islamic life through the establishment of the rightly guided Khilafah "Caliphate" on the method of Prophethood with "terrorism" and "extremism". Whereas the one who works for the satisfaction of America, rules with their systems of governance and promotes Kufr ideas like democracy and freedom among others, is described as "moderate"!!!

America will not be satisfied with you, no matter what you make of concessions. This was confirmed by the Holy Qur'an, but where are the minds that understand and are aware?

(وَلَنْ تَرْضَى عَنْكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلا النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَى وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصِير)

"And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper." [Al-Baqarah: 120]

We in Hizb ut Tahrir are seeking the pleasure of Allah. We do not care what is said about us from extremism and the like, nor does it harm us. We take our example from the Beloved (saw) who was described with the worst descriptions, but he was not harmed by it. The victory was eventually his ally. Similarly, victory will be our ally - insha Allah. Allah Almighty says:

(إِنَّا لَنَنْصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الأَشْهَاد)

"Indeed, We will support Our messengers and those who believe during the life of this world and on the Day when the witnesses will stand" [Ghafir: 51]
