A Call for SLM/A Reunification

Dear SLM/A Fellows,

Our strength is our unity. I believe that we must struggle for the interest of our people, and the whole people against the genociders of the National Congress Party (NCP), and their allied Janjaweed militias. Thus, the pursuit of this goal, however, is not trivial pleasure seeking. It is a fundamental to our persistent that grounded by our supreme uncompromised value of security, justice, peace, liberty and equal opportunity.

These noble ends will be hard to achieve without our unity. Yet, we have to construct the idea of unity based own our internal deliberations, and without any negative external-imposed ideas. When the chairman Abdul Wahid Alnour adamantly rejected all imposed external reunification initiatives, we reasoning that the SLM/A has its own robust and well- laid plans of bringing all its members together. Not to mention, the recent reunification of the field commanders which took place on 14th of October 2008 under Tarni declaration led by Col. Jabir Mohamed Hassab Allah, and Salah Mustafa (Bob), was the Movement’s practical answer and antidote to those who are raising dust and criticizing the SLM/A leadership for not being serious in unifying the movement. In fact, most of these people are trying to create circumstances that suit heir own personal purposes or the hidden agenda of their affiliated organizations, which in most cases are against our people’s interest.

We are not claiming perfection; or a top- notch but we are doing our leadership duty to encourage all members of the movement who believe in our values to come together under one leadership of SLM/A. Here, and it is not an exaggeration to say, the uncompromised stands of the chairman Abdul Wahid Alnour toward the rights of our people, letting the masses and the troops rallying behind him, regardless of every thing because he had proved to his people and the world that he is a leader who will never waver during the difficult circumstances or sell out his people for personal gains. Thus, our respect, confidence and admiration for him, is without limit; and those who only see the negatives are unable to recount his heroic deeds.

Pursuing our values and eschewing misery is the chief drive and purpose of our will. Leadership will be tested by the results of this will. This shall be summoned forth by the unity of our movement as well as by our people wants. Our duty is to change ourselves and our world by accomplish vigorous transformation in the current situation that responds to these wants. These changes and its achievements will be measured by the supreme of our values of security, justice, peace, liberty and equal opportunity. Thus, I encourage all of you to rise above narrow personal interest and let us join hands and work together as one united movement to achieve our great objectives.

Nimer Mohamed Abdelrahman.
