SPLM pledges to play positive role in Darfur peace
October 28, 2007 (JUBA) — The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) pledged to contribute to reach a fair and effective solution of the four year crisis in Western Sudan region of Darfur.
Amum said the crisis of Darfur is the result of marginalization and a strong expression of the need for equitable sharing of power and wealth. He also said Darfur people should rule their region by themselves.
SPLM Secretary General p pledged to act through their position in the government of national unity to realize a comprehensive solution in Darfur. He further said that the solution must treat the root causes of the problem, Ahmed Hussein Adam, JEM spokesperson told Sudan Tribune
Pagan also renewed the commitment of the SPLM to support JEM to implement an eventual peace accord in the region. He condemned the violence and the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Ahmed said.
JEM delegation was in Juba to participate in a finding common ground meeting organized by the SPLM before the beginning of Sirte talks.
Ahmed who is also in charge of political relations with the SPLM said JEM pointed out the necessary cooperation between the marginalized forces to establish a democratic state in the Sudan.
He also said the two parties agreed to strengthen ties between the two political forces and work together to achieve democratic transition in the country.
JEM reiterated its support to the SPLM stance in the current political crisis with the National Congress Party and its legitimate demand to implement fully the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.
The rebel delegation also expressed its reserves towards the peace process in Darfur.
JEM said the mediation has failed to identify parties to the Talks. Also the rebel group blamed the mediation for the lack of prior agreement on the parties and approach to the Talks. It pointed out the lack of neutrality of the mediators and their continuous leaning towards the Sudanese government.

Sudanese president Omar Al-Bashir was hundred percent correct when describing the behaviour of the so-called Western countries and USA toward the people of underdeveloped countries as immoral! As governments of those countries have no moral concern whatsoever about black people wherever they live on this planet! Whether in the third World countries or in the so-called developed countries!
The agendas of Western countries in our war ragged Africa are far from what they hypocritically term as human right promotion in that part of the world! thus anyone who understands politics she/he should be aware that the main objectives of Western intervention into the affairs of our underdeveloped countries are simply meant for the controlling or domineering of our resources and to make sure that we are not progressing like we should be! As they do not want the people of underdeveloped countries to develop and become thrive like them! Because if we become like them their business will ruin as no one will buy their commodities, therefore, they want us to remain behind like that unless we liberate ourselves from their slavery by stopping our reliance on them to solve our problems, to feed us and to dictate our will and decisions!
Westerners are only happy to see us at war with each another as that is the time when their businesses flourish! They are only proud to refer to our countries as third world and developing or undeveloped countries! They also like to remind us about colonisation and slavery too as they make them look superiors to us!
To cut a very long short; Western governments do not become happy except only when they see us in crisis of starvations, and disease epidemics! They like only to talk about HIV/AIDS epidemic and how much it is destroying Africa or any other underdeveloped country and without any sympathy to give support to them! Even when they try to help, they only send their unqualified expatriates to help us during our natural and man-made disasters!
To be realistic about their hypocritical claims that they are caring about us, why are they spending billions of dollars exploring other planets (e.g. red planet) and why are wasting money exploring space! Why are they spending billions of dollars financing unnecessary wars such as that of Iraq and Afghanistan while intentionally allowing their human fellows of the underdeveloped countries to die with hunger and treatable disease such as food or water born microbial diseases! If they care enough about us, why are they not doing enough to curb poverty, HIV/AIDS and Marilia that are killing thousands of people of underdeveloped countries everyday than to encourage people to fight unnecessary wars that are preventing development and self-reliance of African counties!
Why are they allowing or encouraging wars in the third world country countries instead of endorsing or promoting peace and tranquillity there given to the fact that poverty and spread of diseases including HIV/AIDS are direct consequences of wars! The simplest answer one can give is that they don’t care about us!
Our fate in Africa will be just like what USA has done to people of Latin America (South America) and the Caribbean! When USA used to allow pro-USA dictators from those Countries to rule, torture, abuse or violate human rights and kill their people without any Condemnation from USA as long as those dictators agreed to promote American interests in their countries!
The civil war in Sudan started during Dictator Gaafar Nimeiry’s regime! Why USA and Western counties were backing up Gaafar Nimeiry and not SPLA/M by then? Well, simply because by then Gaafar Nimeiry was promoting their businesses, as he was purchasing armies and other military and civil commodities from them! Also Gaafar Nimeiry used to claim that he was fighting communist gorilla that wants to turn Sudan into a communist country given to relationship between SPLA’s Garang and the former Ethiopian president Mangisto with the ex-Soviet union regime! What happened when Soviet Union was dissolved? well, America and the West started to hook-up with the same SPLA/M under the headship of the same Garang! So, what was new? As one USA’s CIA agent said: “Sometimes you can change things to the worst as long as they protect your interest”.
Thus,if we Africans will not stop dependence on West to solve our problems we will never achieve any progress whatsoever and forever!! As western countries aim is only to control Africans’ wealth! They want us to keep ourselves busy killing one another so that we will not have time to think of other important things such as development!
They always want us to be behind the world and forever! They don’t like us some as some ignorant individuals may think! I mean all of us! it doesn’t matter weather you are Christian or Muslim it makes no different to them as long as you are black!
We the people of Africa must reckon that westerns are happy seeing our countries urbanized! As they want us to relay on them forever!
I love people of Darfur very dearly but I would like to advice them that Westerns do not really care about you in the same way they don’t care about any black man! Their two-faced empathy for you is aimed to further their agendas in our country!
Let there be peace in Sudan so that we can sit and settleas our problems or differences as Sudanese! We fought a two decade war in South that killed 2 million people BUT at the end it didn’t solve the problem! Until both side realised that negotiation is more effective than war!
I can’t deny that there were injustice and inequality previousily in Sudan! But now if our brothers from North have come to understand that injustice and marginalisation of other Sudanese have to be put to end in order to rescue the country from fragmentation or what I can call Somaliasation of Sudan! I believe it is good to grasp that chance for the interest of unhappy or miserable people and our war ragged countries which is roomy for all of us if we understand ourselves!
Let there be no more war in Sudan as we the laypeople of Sudan had enough of wars! who can assume victory by killing his own people! No one was victorious in those wars neither SPLA/M nor the Sudan government I believe!So, let us stop reminding ourselves about that dirty past! and let look for the way forward for sake of the Sudanese generations to come!

This is a comment on the Bol Thuormuck’s comment about western Countries as being hypocritical and only seeking to prevent the progress of developing countries. Well, Bol, I can say that although your thought might carry a piece of truth in it, your attitude toward the West and the way you argue is crude, thoughtless, abominable even to anyone who had any education at all can disagree with your attitude.
While some politicians only want evil for third worlders, many among them especially the believers in Christ are always seeking the best and salvation for our people. Just like third worlders, some people want only evil to befall the West, but not all of us are that arrogant.
I hope you would be think twice next time before exaggerating your opinion.
Thanks
