SPLA’s al-Hilu claims control over large areas of S. Kordofan

June 18, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudan People Liberation Army (SPLA) in South Kordofan denied assertions by Khartoum that it has full control of the state saying that battles are still ongoing including in the capital city of Kadugli.

A picture released by Thabo Mbeki's spokesman shows former President of Burundi Pierre Buyoya and AU mediator for the Sudan crisis Thabo Mbeki with Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) commander, Abdel Aziz al-Hilu (C), at his military headquarters in South Kordofan State, Sudan, June 16, 2011 (VOA)

“We want to confirm to you that fighting is still ongoing within the city of Kadugli and that the SPLA is still in control of important locations within the city,” read a statement signed by the former deputy governor of South Kordofan and the leading SPLA figure in the state Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu.

“We confirm to you that a number of localities are entirely under the control of the SPLA by 100% which are the localities (Dallami, Haiban, Alburam, Um Dorain) in addition to more than 60 other garrisons scattered along the state had been liberated completely from the grip of the army of the National Congress Party”.

Al-Hilu accused the state governor Ahmed Haroun and other NCP officials of “misleading the public opinion” and in the process are continuing to kill civilians particularly through aerial bombardments.

“We want to assure you that our troops will make the necessary arrangements for the protection of civilians in the state”, al-Hilu said.

Fighting between Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and SPLA erupted on June 5 under mysterious circumstances. The Northern army said that the SPLA launched an attack on a police station and stole weapons prompting a response.

However, the SPLA claimed that SAF attempted to disarm their units by force. The North gave SPLA in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan until June 1 to evacuate the two states and head South of the 1956 borders.

But officials in the south’s dominant party said that fighters in these border regions are Northerners and therefore cannot be asked to migrate southwards.

Sudanese authorities said that al-Hilu is a fugitive who faces charges of terrorism that carry the death penalty.

On Saturday the SAF military intelligence director in Division 14 infantry Colonel Osama Mohamed said the army uncovered documents and maps showing a plot by the SPLA to assassinate a number of military, political and executive figures in South Kordofan including Haroun who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his role in Darfur war crimes.

The military official said the plot was to be carried out with the participation of UN organizations as well as local and foreign NGO’s. He added that a number of trucks have been seized with a logo of a company named ESCO that is licensed in South Sudan and UNMIS that was transporting food and supplies to the SPLA.

Colonel Osama further said that a large number of weapons and landmines at a Hay Hagr al-Nar district located in the western side of Kadugli that the SPLA was planning to plant in different parts of the city.

The African Union High Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) headed by former South African president Thabo Mbeki said this week that the warring parties in South Kordofan have agreed to hold talks on cessation of hostilities.

However Mbeki gave little details on how that would be achieved.

SAF has intensified its bombing campaign and its military aircrafts even dropped several bombs close to a UN compound near Kadugli on Friday.

Prior to that the Northern army closed Kadugli airport drawing strong rebuke from the UN which said that this step hampers humanitarian activity.

    This is actually a fight between the forces of evil(Islamists) and peace loving Nuba. They really need help of peace loving people of the world. The land, skys all belong to them. Why should they be persecuted on their land? At least a moral support should be showered to them other wise a military support would be appropriate. Never should terrorists be allowed to rule Sudan so that Osama II can come a set foothold them when the dust of international war against terrorism come to settle down.

    Al Hilu is fighting for a just cause – the rights to live in peace, dignity and freedom to pursue happiness are inalienable rights for everybody in the world including the Nuba people. Nuba people must be supported to achieve their dreams of peaceful and dignified living in their own land which had been denied to them by ruthless jihadist regimes in the Sudan since the arrival of Arabs in Sudan. Nuba people must be supported to carry out their ‘popular consultation’ as stated in CPA to determine their fate the Sudan.

    Khartoum is good at lying. The allegations of “uncovered document” and “landmines” are baseless. Al-Hilu is the one who discovered Khartoum’s plan of using Nuba sons against those who fought along SPLA to kill them one by one and then impose its Islamic projects that kept Sudan at war with itself for over five decades.

    The landmines discovered by AL-Hilu are always given to Peter Gatdet to limit movement of peace-loving people of South Sudan around North-South borders. Haroum, Bashir and the Janzaweed militia leader, Kushayib are terrorists and war criminals wanted by the ICC. How can a freedom fighter like Al-Hilu be called a terrorist?

    Osama Bin Laden was offered a sanctuary by Bashir and his thugs while Al-Hilu was fighting for his freedom and dignity with Dr. Garang De-Mabior. Khartoum should stop lying. Freedom and human dignity are for all Sudanese but not for Khartoumers only.

    Call it vanity, call it arrogant presumption, call it what you wish, but I would grope for the nearest open grave if I had no education to work for, no need to search one for and sometimes find the winged word that just fits, no keen wonder over what each unfolding day may bring. my education is not even fit to be comment on this sit but to talk with lawmaker, because i am in United Kingdom where everone is educated
    second to it is that i am from a well educated family background where father and mother are well educated and work for the Goss, so i hope more of you commentator are just bounch of refugees who are struggle to get education and i don’t have problem with that since you people are doing that, but mistake can happen in any kind of everthings leave alone spelling,
    I am high profile educated man amoungest sudanse people and i am proud of that,
    So Mr lorolakin go to hell with your little education it dose’t bother me either.

    God be with you,

    This is nonsence from Mr.Abdelaziz the capital city of Kadugli still under control of SAF,let him talk about small area in South Kordofan,SPLA have no power to control the capital,,they still in the bush far away from Kadugli,fighting this time will not help,let him talk how to rein his people from the bush,don’t allow yourself to be deceive by Southern SPLM,they failed to mantain their positions,you are supposed to listen to NCP for your future in the northern Sudan,or you will be a failure people like Southern Sudanese under control of SPLM/A,there are many rebels in the bush because of mismanagement of the South Sudan from SPLM/A,South Sudan liberation Army are strugg ling for change in the South Sudan, I think there are nothing good under SPLM/A,being in the South or in the S.kordofan,you foreget about SPLM/A,they are looters and corruptists,they know how to corrupt or loot.they don’t know how the institutional work.
