SPLM did not stage demonstrations in Khartoum says Sudan’s Kiir
December 8, 2009 (JUBA) – The First Vice President of Sudan, President of Southern Sudan and Chairman of the SPLM, General Salva Kiir Mayardit denied that the SPLM organized a demonstration in the national capital, Khartoum.
Addressing the press in Juba on Monday, Kiir said “There is a difference between a procession and a demonstration.”
He explained that they just wanted to deliver a written letter to the Speaker of the National Assembly.
Earlier, the party headquarters in Khartoum announced that it would carry out a mass protest together with the allied opposition northern groups against the National Congress Party’s reluctance to pass national laws needed for democratic transformation.
The emergency meeting by the party leadership on Monday resolved to continue pursuing dialogue with the National Congress Party to resolve the outstanding issues in the CPA, and to do every thing in its power not to divert the peaceful implementation of the CPA.
“The SPLM will not take the country back to war,” Kiir told the journalists.
He also addressed members of the Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly on Monday during the opening of its last session and briefed them about the political situation in the country.
He added that the Joint Political Executive Committee co-chaired by the Vice President of Sudan, Ali Osman Taha and the Vice President of Southern Sudan, Dr. Riek Machar, would continue with negotiations to bridge the remaining gap between the two parties.
Kiir also called on the NCP to extend the duration of the current session of the National Assembly to give it time to pass the remaining laws.
He accused the NCP of using force against its senior members in the face of their democratic right to express their views.
Kiir said he had a phone conversation with the President of the Republic and Chairman of NCP, Omer Hassan el-Bashir, asking him to release the SPLM senior members.
He also added that he would soon travel to Khartoum to meet as Presidency and discuss some of the issues.
Both Pagan Amum and Yasir Arman were later on released on Monday after nine hours in detention by the police.

No hesitation,Khartoum must prepare for any outcome.
Arresting SPLM members must be compensated by handing over al bashir to ICC should he comes to south.

Yes H.E. president Kiir. I knew that the SPLM, Sectretary G. Mr Amum and his deputy Mr. Arman were innocents. They did not violate any rules of law in their country. The matter of facts is that NCP wants to intimidate all Sudanese citizens by arresting their belove heros and prevent them to educate their mergenalized citizents about their rights. Beside that, the NCP wants to maintain its position to win the upcoming election and rule the country with its failed oriented government. No, No, No. NO way and No more Bashir in Sudan. Bashir killed enough people. So, he needs to step down. God blesses

Oh, Kiir,
Behave like the chairman. How come Pagan Amum organized the demonstrations with some of the opposition parties in the north, you kept queit and only to deny it now? Wow! if it was done without your consent, then you need to discipline this reckless drunk man called Pagan Amum and his other communist friend, Yasser Arman.
Pagan is now vowing to continue with the demonstrations despite your statement that it was not a demonstration but simply for them to hand over the letter to speaker of parliament. Who should the readers believe now!!! Pagan wants to overthrow you using a crisis!!! Wake up and stop this man from messing up the CPA in the late hour. Referendum should not be destroyed like that by Sadiq Al-Mahdi using the SPLM Secretary General.
Dear readers, Kiir calls for calm and said the SPLM was not for demonstrations and Pagan Amum on the other hand calls for more demonstrations to take place. Look at the contradictions. This Pagan is against Kiir, period. He is now the reason behind the choas which does not benefit the SPLM.
Northern opposition parties fooled the SPLM to join their demonstrations. They were simply looking for a way that would turn into a crisis with the NCP and kill the CPA. They don’t want the last part of the CPA on referendum. They want to create a crisis using the SPLM. They got reckless communist politicians like Pagan Amum and Yasser Arman to do their job.
Look at the humiliation they got as a result. They were driven by police to a police station in a pick up truck like street criminals. SPLM is gaining through peaceful implementation of the CPA and this should not be interrupted. It should not abandon its partner, the NCP, who had the guts to sign peace with the SPLM and has implemented most parts of it.
Sadiq Al-Mahdi had never signed any agreement with the South and he hates self-determination that leads to independence. Our leaders should wisely watch out. Pagan Amum should be disciplined to stop his reckless behaviour. If there is going to be another war over referendum (God forbids), let it be managed and handled with care and wisdom by real politicians. The world will blame the SPLM for abandoning negotiations and joining opposition in such demonstrations. SPLM should stop recklessness while unprepared for war!!!

Who give them permission to demonstrate in khartoum? if SPLM doesn’t alert them carry on mass demonstration of democracy transformation. If we talk of democracy in Sudan, then let us talk of assisinations of leaders also, because this time is time for killing icon leaders like Pagan and Yassir Arman.

Hopeless people who don’t event thing about tomorrow, continue supporting your wicked SPLM. This kiir is not going any where. It was a very chance full for him to sit in Juba drinking his favorite Arake. This guide is not going to prolong in his military rule.

That is good Mr President and thank you for it.This shows that you are learning tactics from your friends Riak and Matip.
The SPLM should not take the country back to war though Bashir wants it happen.Let him start and the international community will see him that will even increase the weight of the stone around his fucken neck.
And even if it means death demonstrations should still go on country wide as is put by Amum because it is a democratic right.Look the fucken jallaba did it so in a bid to decrease the number of voters.Fuck him!!!!!

Guys we need to wake up and say hello to our creator in order to answer our requests. But if we wake up and start blaming one another, that means we are killing our hope. But what happened in Khartoum it was a beginning of the worse, so more are in the way, now in Kansas City this issue is a topic of the week. But beside politic I was not happy seeing my friend Yassir in a mobile jail, I know he is fighting for the benefits of our people. But what came with Gatwech and Dinka boy is not fair, I am proud to be a Dinka son, but I was not taught to talk like that. Gatwech! I am not ready to catch with you but the time will come soon.
Thanks
