The Conflict in Sudan; Roots Causes and the Consequences 2

Since independence Sudan faced political instability which led to secede of South Sudan. Once again the unity of Sudan threatens as result of the political conflict in various regions in Noba Mountain, Blue Nile and Darfur. This conflict must be taken seriously. Its going on rapid escalation whether in Darfur, Noba Mountain or Blue Nile. Just twenty years ago nobody even imagine that the South Sudan will secede. In 1995 when the conference of crucial issues agreed upon right of self-determination to South Sudan, Khartoum accounted it as political propaganda by the National Democratic Alliance so as to exaggerate its support to the southern question. Few years later the government agreed to give the same right to the SPLA/M during long fatigue negotiations in Mashakos. Now the Noba Mountain, blue Nile, Darfur marching the same road. Let us give an example for this deterioration, months ago number of Noba leaders in the SPLM/N they change their Arabic names into local names, that is exactly what happened late eighties’ when the number of SPLA/M change their names into local African names one of those who has changed their name Ahmed Alor changed into Deng Alor he is an ex Sudan foreign minister. The government and the others players in Sudan they have to consider this step and to account it on right bases. To degrade or belittle it, will pave the way to same destination. Our experience in Sudan showed that every step must be analyzed deeply. For five decades we didn't consider neither the rights nor the demands of the South, at the end of the day we compelled to agree to its an independent. I agree this is their fundamental right to practice their self-determination but at the same we lost fruitful chance to keep the unity of Sudan.
