Our Larger Community and Our Smaller Community
There are three critical points we emphasized in the preamble of this constitution: one is a goal, and two are means. The goal is the creation of the individual who is absolutely free, while the two means are the Sudanese community and the global community. We have said that the current problems of any country are, in essence, a microcosm of the problems facing all of humanity. At their core, these are problems of peace on this planet.
We believe it is shortsighted to attempt solving the problems of the Sudanese community within our geographical borders without considering the global human context. This is because the small planet we inhabit has become a single entity due to advancements in rapid communication and transportation, which have nearly eliminated the constraints of time and space. A simple event in one part of the planet now resonates throughout all its parts within mere hours. Furthermore, this unified planet, geographically speaking, is inhabited by one humanity, equal in its innate nature, even if unequal in acquired knowledge and civilization. It is logically untenable for the pinnacle of humanity to produce a free individual if its foundation remains entrenched in the mire of humiliation and enslavement. Or, at the very least, it is impossible for one part of it to reap the benefits of peace and prosperity while other parts are engulfed in wars and ravaged by famine. For this reason, we view the global community as a secondary means, while we consider our Sudanese community as the primary means.
We have chosen the federal central system to organize our smaller community for two reasons:
First, and most importantly, this system suits us in every respect.
Second, organizing our smaller community in this way aligns with the same direction that, if pursued further, will eventually lead to organizing our greater community - the global community. Undoubtedly, as the planet has been unified geographically through advancements in material science, peace will only prevail when it is unified administratively through a global government. This can only be accomplished through the establishment of a world government based on the federal central system, which will regulate relations between nations through law - just as every government today regulates relations between individuals within its jurisdiction through law.
This global central government would have a centralized global constitution, under which a central global legislative body would enact laws regulating relations between nations. This would diminish the significance of geographical borders, customs barriers, and centralized authorities within individual states. It would also oversee the constitutionality of local legislative enactments to ensure they do not conflict with the centralized global constitution. The centralized global constitution would also establish a global central executive authority and judiciary, complete with the necessary military and security forces and financial resources.
We shall endeavor to ensure that, as we organize our small community, the vision of structuring our broader community remains firmly in our sights. From the outset, we will work toward both goals simultaneously. Initially, our primary focus may be on perfecting the smaller model, but we will not hesitate to support oppressed and enslaved people across the globe to the best of our abilities, without considering such efforts as distractions from our central cause.
It is self-evident that there will be no unified global constitution unless it is derived from universal and enduring principles shared by all nations and generations. These principles are rooted in human nature itself and represent the common ground where all humans converge, regardless of their levels of education and civilization. While disagreements over these principles may exist, they are differences of degree rather than kind. The essence of these principles lies in the mind and heart, or, if you prefer, thought and feeling - and we will attempt to highlight this constitution as we address the issue of the individual.
