News reports stated that twelve people drowned in the White Nile in the Wad al-Zaki area after a boat carrying them from the al-Sufi area capsized on Saturday, 14/2/2026.

On Wednesday, 11/2/2026, 21 people drowned in the Nile River while crossing it on a boat between Tayba al-Khawad and Deim al-Quray in the River Nile State.

The fact of the matter is that the two incidents were due to a lack of care, and we don't say poor care, because such incidents are always recurring, and in many areas of Sudan, and the reason is one: the state does not play its role in providing safe ferries for crossing, and does not perform its Shariah duty in caring for the affairs of the people. This is because the state that exists in Sudan is not a welfare state, but rather a state of tax collection. It does not care if people die by drowning, hunger, disease, or a fabricated war, but what matters is the people's pockets, as the Minister of Finance explicitly said. Rather, the government fights those who seek to establish a welfare state; the Islamic state; the Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided Caliphate) on the method of the Prophethood, and it files malicious reports against members of Hizb ut Tahrir in the city of Al-Ubayyid, and throws them in prison, and denies them even the right to bail, so that they remain punished in prison for nearly a month until the day of the trial on Sunday, 22/2/2026.

But we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Sudan will not be intimidated by prisons, nor will trials frighten us, for we are undertaking a great obligation, one that many have neglected, despite the Prophet'swarning of a death of the days of ignorance for those who neglect this duty. He (saw) said: «وَمَنْ مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ فِي عُنُقِهِ بَيْعَةٌ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً»“Whoever dies without having a pledge of allegiance on his neck dies the death of the days of ignorance.” So, O people of Sudan, come together to work with Hizb ut Tahrir to establish the Khilafah (Caliphate); the obligation of your Lord, the source of your glory, and the guardian of your affairs, for in it lies the pleasure of your Lord.

So, hasten to establish the state whose Caliph said: “By Allah, if a mule were to stumble in Iraq, I would fear that Allah would ask me, ‘Why did you not pave the road for it, O Umar”?”
