in Addis Ababa
As part of a regional tour to explain its position on the issues of a comprehensive and just peace and the political developments in Sudan, a delegation of the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement, consisting of Malik Agar, Yasir Arman, Ramadan Hassan; and Zayed Issa, met on Wednesday evening November 23rd, 2011, in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, with the President and members of the African Union High Implementation Panel, the former South African President Mbeki, and former Presidents Abdulsalam Abubakar and Pierre Buyoya. The delegation conveyed to the AUHIP members the position and prospective of the SPLM on the general political situation in Sudan with emphasis on the following issues:
One: The humanitarian issues, and the need to deliver food to the needy and the protection of civilians, and the establishment of a tripartite mechanism consisting of the SPLM, the Sudanese regime, and the international community, to deliver food to the needy on both sides of the conflict.
Second: The necessity of establishing an independent commission to investigate war crimes and the massive human rights violations and to put an end to impunity.
Third: The SPLM believes that a just and a permanent solution would not be possible except in accordance with a comprehensive perspective. The origin of the problems in South Kordofan, the Blue Nile, Darfur, and other areas, lies in the Khartoum’s wrong policies, and therefore it is an imperative to address the roots of these crisis, through a comprehensive participation of all political forces, and to avoid any and all partial solutions between a single one of the political forces and the Khartoum regime.
Fourth: The SPLM confirms its firm and absolute adherence to the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) and its openness to all Sudanese political forces, youth organizations, women, the politically dismissed from service, civil societies, victims of dams construction, and the rural marginalized and urban poor, who desire change, and in order to achieve consensus that will enable all of us to reach a just peace and democracy, the State of equal citizenship and the restructuring of the center of power.
Fifth: That any attempt for serious constitutional review process, needs to start with first ending the wars, and to be conducted under an all political forces agreed upon interim government, and not under the gunpoint of the National Congress Party.
Sixth: A national constitutional conference, with the participation of all political forces and civil society organizations, is the only approach to answer the historical question of how to govern Sudan? Before the question of who govern the Sudan? The national constitutional conference represents the right approach and solution to the crises of governance and civil wars.
Seventh: the Alliance of the Sudan Revolutionary Front provides the optimum political framework, to resolve the crisis of wars with the forces that bear arm, together with the resolution of the crisis of governance, with the participation of all political forces in a comprehensive political solution, (The Khartoum regime has to change, or we will change it.)
Eighth: The IGAD countries; the African Union – including the Republic of South Sudan – , the United Nations, the Arab League, the United States of America, and the European Union, are the guarantors of the CPA, including the CPA protocols that relates to the Republic of Sudan, and they have a huge responsibility to stop the violation and the infringement of the CPA by the National Congress Party, and it is their duty to challenge the belligerence of the National Congress Party, and the wars it waged, instead of its (NCP) implementation of the CPA. This duty also requires the solidarity with the struggle of the people of Sudan for peace and democracy.
