Sudan’s rebel alliance seeks to unify opposition forces within two months




July 25, 2014 (KHARTOUM) -The rebel alliance of the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) said it would work towards unifying opposition forces, stressing the move is a necessary condition for overthrowing the regime or reaching a comprehensive peaceful solution to end war and bring about the democratic change.

In a statement released at the conclusion of a meeting held in Paris between 20 and 25 July, the SRF announced that it approved a plan to “unify forces of change through coordination, joint work, and continuous contacts with all forces interested in the unity of opposition”.

The statement added the SRF would make its utmost efforts to achieve “this vital mission within two months in order to allow Sudanese people make the necessary change”.

The move comes 18 months after a first attempt in January 2013, where the SRF groups and opposition parties signed the "New Dawn" charter in Ugandan capital, Kampala where the participants agreed on the goal of changing the regime.

However very quickly they disagreed over whether they should use political or military means to bring this change. Also they diverged on the role of religion in politics.

The National Umma Party (NUP), Popular Congress Party (PCP) and Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) later appeared to distance themselves from the agreement saying they were rushed into signing and voiced objections over some of its clauses.

Referring to the national dialogue initiative launched in January 2014 by president Omer al-Bashir on the, the SRF groups reiterated its rejection for partial solution and emphasised that this process should lead to achieve true political change in Sudan.

Last April, the SRF proposed a roadmap to achieve a comprehensive solution to end war in the southern and western parts of the country and ensure democratic transition in Sudan.

The proposal provided to hold one peace process to negotiate peace in Darfur region, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. Following what, an inclusive peace process should be held with the participation of all political forces and civil society groups.

In Khartoum, the ruling party and several oppositions parties on Friday finalised a framework agreement for the national dialogue and called on the rebel groups and opposition parties that refused the process to join them.

The opposition National Umma Party (NUP) decided last May to suspend its participation in the national dialogue process to protest the arrest of its leader al-Sadiq al-Mahdi as he had accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia of committing atrocities against civilians in Darfur.

After al-Mahdi release in June, the NUP stressed on the need to review the national dialogue process and associate the “historical” political parties in an African Union-led process to achieve peace in the Two Areas and Darfur.

Al-Mahdi also called to include the rebel groups in the political dialogue stressing that no democratic change can be achieved without peace.

The SRF disclosed that the five-day meeting received a letter from the United States special envoy to Sudan and South Sudan, Donald Booth, without elaborating on its content.

It also said the rebel leadership council met with delegates from the US and the European Union (EU), noting that several issues were discussed in the meetings including humanitarian issues, human rights, comprehensive peaceful solution, and dialogue among all parties to the Sudanese crisis.

A joint delegation comprising of members of the SRF and opposition parties met EU legislators on 16 July in Strasbourg, France, where they called for Europe to exert more pressure on Khartoum to achieve a comprehensive peaceful settlement and a genuine process for national dialogue leading to democratic transformation.

The rebel groups reaffirmed that search for peaceful solution doesn’t mean it abandoned its call for overthrowing the regime, underscoring that any agreement with the Sudanese government should lead to ending the wars and establishing a democratic regime on the basis of the principle of citizenship without discrimination.

The statement pointed the meeting was held for the first time in France because SRF leaders have been present in Europe for meetings with various organisations and institutions on top of which is the European Parliament.

The SRF leaders are expected to hold meetings with some leaders of the opposition parties who are currently present in Europe to discuss ways to reach a consensus between the military and political forces on the democratic change.

Paris meeting was held with the participation of its chairman, Malik Agar, the deputy chairman for political affairs, Abdel-Wahid al-Nour, deputy chairman for foreign affairs, Gibril Ibrahim, the foreign relations official, Yasser Arman, media affairs official, Al-Tom Hago, and administrative affairs official, Nasr al-Din al-Hadi al-Mahdi. Zinab Kabashi of the Beja Congress also attended the meeting.

The SRF deputy chairman, Minni Arku Minnawi, didn’t attend the meeting due to logistical reasons. He was represented by the humanitarian affairs official, Trayo Ahmed Ali.

Cairo - dissolved on July 9 this third anniversary of the secession of South Sudan, which has been in the light of the results of a referendum stipulated in an agreement signed in 2005 between the government of a united Sudan at the time and "Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan," without carrying a lot of hopes on the future of South Sudan and the entire country of Sudan in various territories.



Facing the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan crisis of armed conflict and the pressures of the international community in order to negotiate with the National Congress, but they stick to their demands, a project of the New Sudan based on justice, equality, and an end to negotiations with the National Congress on the basis of addressing the humanitarian issue.

The movement rejects any bilateral solutions confirmed that the fall seen in the context of a comprehensive solution to the crisis in Sudan and calls for the participation of all political forces and civil armed, without exclusion of any party.



He denies Nasreddin Kushayb, representative of the popular movement in the Middle East, what some that the conflict tended racist, pointing out that the conflict with the regime of President Omar al-Bashir on the basis based on historical injustices and the problems of development, and service is the collapse of public services including health, education, there are other problems related to the lack of a basis for building a state fair infused with the spirit of equality and national sense of belonging, and the dominance of a certain class of a group of political Islam on the reins of power, have ruled the country for 25 years.



It also demands of the movement, according to Kushayb, the application of justice against corruption and prosecute the perpetrators of war crimes against unarmed civilians in the different regions of Sudan.



He adds that the SPLM representative of the Khartoum regime, which is governed by the National Congress Party, tried to portray to the world that the conflict based on ethnic, religious and this is not true.



After the secession of southern Sudan, has adopted the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan option to take up arms, and Kushayb justify this choice as necessity called for by the situation after it was revealed the falsity of the claim that the National Congress put up another excuse to continue in power and supporters of the movement racist description.



And confirms the leadership of the movement Tgerar Sudan that the same reasons for which the south secedes exist in the rest of the regions of Sudan and is the oppression and marginalization by the Khartoum regime that does not respect its commitments and follows a policy of "signed nor implemented." Refers in this context to the system signed more than 40 agreements, including but not implemented the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed in 2005 which led to the secession of southern Sudan.



Projection System



Nasreddin Kushayb shows that the ruling regime in Sudan tried to convince a number of Arab and Islamic countries and the African that the ongoing war in the Sudan is a war "against the margin," but everyone is now witnessing the crimes of the regime and its warplanes harvested millions of unarmed civilians. The clear message of the movement: "We defend the rights of our people and we are not advocates of war and states should be interested in the case of Sudan understands our position and our aim is clear is the overthrow of the regime and build a democratic alternative."



In regards to the assessment of the humanitarian situation in the areas of Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains, Kushayb indicates that the military conflict in South Sudan negative impact on the situation of refugees in the two regions, especially uninterrupted supply lines of international organizations that provide food and medicine. He appealed to the international community pressure on the system in order to allow the passage of relief to the needy.



One of the worst humanitarian situation in the camps, what happens border between the states of Sudan and especially the camp of "Aida," which is inhabited by the majority of women, children and the elderly, where the more than one million people in the two regions. The regime deliberately hit farmers aviation and burning farms and working his forces on the ground in water wells in order to bridge the destruction of life and unloading areas of production and stability of its citizens, as happened in Darfur.



The international community



Concerning the position of regional and international powers on the issue adopted by the Sudan Liberation Movement, shows Nasreddin Kushayb, an official Office of External Relations in the movement, that the international community's position on the negative and not the pressure on the Khartoum government, the United Nations will operate in a slow and used the policy of self-term to address the hot-button issues and urgent, and the position of the African Union in the predominantly with the regime, but the Arab League will operate double standards in the case of characterization of the scene Libyan intervened very quickly against the regime on the other hand what is happening in Syria and Sudan exceeded the imagination of massacres and displacement of civilians and the international community in the case of complete silence.



Due Kushayb prolonged system the Sudanese despite widespread opposition, to the dispersion of the opposition and the multiplicity of fora which allowed the system space moves where to strike and deflect the efforts of the Sudanese opposition, but it is known that the forces of national consensus, civil society organizations and the popular movement spontaneous streams of youth and the other represents the weight of the civil opposition forces . Moreover, there is growing awareness among young people appeared. Everyone is angry at the system and the greater the economic pressures increased popular anger.



The Revolutionary Front they have the political and military action is working in different fields and its line of political and media harmonious in all cases, after the Charter of the New Dawn unite to work and start a new phase of the pairing between all means.



The system deliberately Omar al-Bashir to create divisions between the opposition forces and civil armed forces and build a bulwark between the goals of the two blocs. Kushayb explains that the movement is on the margin and its problems is the poor service and the exclusion of all the features of the Sudanese state, culturally, socially, politically and economically. But the objectives of both the opposition and distracting one despite their efforts and if they unite in the media and political discourse inevitably will achieve victory.



In response to a question of how you demand to drop the system and bear arms, you negotiate with him, he replies Kushayb that the movement to deal with the system in two directions: The first trend is international pressure for a decision in 2046 and isolate the regime from its regional, and the other direction is based on the pressure of mass political and military in all fronts until the fall the system. SPLM went for negotiations to address the humanitarian crisis in the first place, and not for the reconciliation system and the signing of a peace agreement provides for quota system in government, our vision is a comprehensive solution for all crises and the country with the participation of the political forces and civil armed without the exclusion of any party.



The future of the movement



Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan is an armed movement has been active in South Sudan leader Salva Kiir and the current Secretary General Pagan Amum. The movement arm gunman called the Popular Army for the Liberation of Sudan, fought movement with central governments in Sudan for twenty years and ended with the signing of the Naivasha Agreement for Peace in 2005. Founded by John Garang, and declared that the movement is not calling for the secession of South Sudan, but reformulated approach judgment in which the dismantling of the grip center the regions.



South Sudan separated from Sudan on the ninth of July 2011 after Southerners voted in favor of it in a referendum of self-determination contained in the peace deal that ended 22 years of civil war. Because of the continuing tension between the two armed clashes broke out between them in 2012. Began to improve the relationship between the two parties late last year, before it enters the south, in the case described by Oxfam as "the worst crisis in Africa."



Hit the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan splits many in their ranks, and formed several factions southern rival, and about the future of the movement as an organization under the divisions that are exposed now refers Nasreddin Kushayb, representative of the popular movement in the Middle East, that the SPLM since its founding in 1983 have been to target and plots and constant crises, but remained well established and where there have been several splits and overtaken them and came out strong, lost Bakamp leader John Garang did not weaken. And clarity of the political and organizational line of the movement is the power factor. The program also holds radical solutions for all issues of social conflict, political and cultural. It is important that the movement remains active and successful and promising a coherent vision as an organization despite the weakness of some Almtsakotain will continue with the thought of the future and the SPLM.

AGRI is very important.

Working hard to grow crops in Sudan: A farmer’s tale




by Hamid Ibrahim
in Food Crisis
17.07.2014



KASSALA - Abdurrahman Hamad is a farmer near the Sudanese-Eritrean border. His everyday life is a struggle, but he loves his job.

Hamad lives in the village of Laffa, 30 kilometres south of Kassala. He is in his fifties, slim and tall, and spends most of his waking hours on his farm. He has inherited his occupation and a 10-acre farm from his father but says he would not recommend it to his children.



“Farming is no longer an attractive business because it requires huge efforts and only yields small returns,” says Hamad. “Though exhausting, farming is enjoyable due to a feeling of constant achievement.”





Hamad starts work at 4:00 am by checking on the well’s pump then switching it on to ensure that water is circulated. In the early morning, he works cultivated, weeding, applying pesticides and fertilisers, paving the land and picking up the crops.



Hamad usually takes his first break at sunrise having his breakfast which is usually tea with milk and some bread. He resumes work until midday when he prepares his lunch and then drinks tea or coffee. Afterwards, he takes a nap until 4:00 pm and resumes work until sunset.



He works until late at night if necessary. “However, I sometimes take an obligatory break when it rains,” says Hamad. In that case, the following days are exhausting as he has to put in extra effort to make up for the missed work.



During his breaks, Hamad listens to music on his radio. However, charging the battery was an obstacle for a while, due to a lack of electricity in the farm and neighbouring villages.



farmers however found a solution; some of them have invented a device to charge mobile phones through dry batteries, but this requires removing some parts of the mobile phones. A dry battery lamp is necessary for farmers at night since there are snakes and scorpions.



Despite the many obstacles facing Sudanese farmers, there has been a revival in farming over the past ten years, says Hamad, adding that prices have gone up, especially for onions, tomatoes, okra, green peppers, mallow, portulaca and other crops for which Kassala is famous.



Hamad says that his business would be boosted if there were more roads in his region to link farms with markets and if they would equip villages with electricity. He adds that all his children studied and got university degrees except for one who shares his father’s passion for farming.
