    PATRIOTS ARE NOT INTIMIDATED BY A CRIMINAL REGIME TRYING TO STEAL ELECTIONS TO PROLONG THE SUFFERING OF GREAT SUDANESE PEOPLE. I applaud CDE ARMAN and AMUM for the steadfastness in the face of intimidation and anti-CPA tactics. Al-Bashir is living on borrowed time and knows it. He will be handed over in a heartbeat for what he and his henchmen have done to people of Darfur and Sudan.

    This is serious circumstances. Why could National congress party NCP arrest SPLM top icon leaders when the protest was well organized and was mean to be in peaceful conduct? It already clear and a signal to many people in the South and in entire nation of Sudan that the election of April will be violated. We Southerners will not tolerate this kind of injustice of freedom of protest and the freedom well-being.

    Anyway, it’s an example of what election would look like next year; it’s time now for SPLM leadership to exercised non protest campaign. They have to boycott taking part in election all together and the international communities are all aware about Khartoum regime back to their ordinary system.

    Look at picture number four is a real humiliation. See Yasir Arman in that truck which is used for picking street criminals. They did not respect them at all. See how Pagan and Yasir are surrounded like gangs in pictures number 2 and 3. And the demonstrations failed to take place as they wanted. These are the things that these reckless politicians should have realized to happen in the first place. Let the SPLM and NCP pursue dialogue as government partners, and NOT in opposition to each other. Al-Mahdi should be told to stop killing the CPA on the verge of referendum.

    SPLM thugs led by Pagan Amum and Yasir Arman all belonging to communist part and have stolen the money of the south wanted to make themselves heros. They deserved to lock up in prisons. Yasir is a criminal. Pagan Amum is a theif.

    Let this picture speak for itself loud for the world to see, it shows NCP is not popular party in Sudan as they claim before, people are fed up and want change and democracy, they do not want to be taken for a ride by this bankrupted dictatorship. This is inside khartoum thausand came out to demonstratre , imagine outside khartoum what it will be like? NCP is now only confined to a few hardcore supporters inside Khartoum most of them the government militas defence forces.
