Southerners rally in support of Sudan President

March 7, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – Some southern Sudanese rallied today in the Sudanese capital to show their support to the President Omer Al-Bashir after an arrest warrant made by the ICC judges against him.

Al-Bashir_southern_dress.jpgDifferent southern Sudanese political and tribal leaders were present at the rally and expressed worry that indicting Al-Bashir would endanger the Comprehensive Peace Agreement.

During his speech the President, who wore a traditional feathered headdress and colorful beads from southern Sudan, defied the International Criminal Court and associated it with Western countries.

Bashir told the gathering that the West is not qualified to speak about justice and human rights. He further attacked the United States which is not a state party to the court, describing it as the country of slavery and where the Red Indians were massacred. He further said that Washington committed atrocities in Vietnam and bombed Japanese towns with atomic bombs.

He also said that Sudan’s enemies want to demolish peace and stability. The Sudanese President said that there would be no return to war and pledged to develop the southern Sudan saying they are working in the implementation of the necessary infrastructure, roads and electricity, in order to launch important development projects there.

The Sudanese president also hailed the stance of the southerners and their support against the ICC. He said Sudan should remain united after the 2011 referendum on secession, as had been decided by southerners in 1947 at the Juba Conference, because if the South decides to separate it would destabilize the whole continent.

Bashir also spoke about the 13 aid groups that he just expelled from Darfur describing them as “thieves” and accused them of keeping the most important part of the aid.

“The media report that 2 billion dollars had been spent in Darfur aid operations; but when we revised these figures we found that what reached Darfur effectively is less than one hundred million. Actually they took more than 99.9%,” he said.

    I would say some southern Sudanese rallied to dance the last kick of Al-Bashir’s dictatorship with him but not in support.

    Crying Shame
    This is a crying shame! When did Bashir become enamored with Southern Sudanese? How do you expect people to support you from external pressures when you turn on them and execute them internally? Anyway, this is a last kick of the dying horse.

    As for unity or secession, Bashir has no right to tell Southerners what to choose. I hope he face the Hague sooner than later. Shame! shame! ya Bashir.

    This is a full “feign” from Omar Bashir. Omar Bashir, has never been good before with the Southern Sudanese people. Even if he wore a Southern Sudanese dress being embroidered with difference colors, there is nothing that will prevent him from going to jail as the law of the ICC concerns about how criminal should be treated or faced a punitive lesson.

    I will be delightful indeed when I heard that Omar Bashir, is closed in the jail or being caged in the jail like a rabbit. Thank God for inspiring the ICC move toward Omar Bashir.

    I believe that the dress which Omar Bashir, is wearing, might be brought from Nuer community or Equatorian community. No Dinka person can accept to give Omar Bashir a dress to wear completely.

    Shameless rascals

    Who are these bunches of traitors pretending to be Southerners?
    Mr. Bashir, buying some confused Southerners with their own oil money and claim that the South rallied behind you in support for ICC is baseless and unfounded. Intact, we are celebrating and dancing as you cry loud in a feinted voice over microphone.
    If you could see that crown very will, it is a hanging rope symbolize by the beads around your neck.
    For your information, it is not an African nor is it in any Southern culture a gentlemen to cry loudly in presence of Women and children. We African and Southerners sobbed gently and think wisely not to hurt the rest of the family members.
    African and Southerner do not call people to come and cry with instead they come spontaneously into your Family the best think you would have done was to sob gently in your Palace and have a last look at it because you will soon leave it for cell.
    Listen to BBC and read the news. Southerners would have stage their support from their State capitals not in Khartoum if there were genuine grounds to support your bloody hands.
    Southerners do not need your empty promises with or without you; we will build our infrastructure, roads and electricity.
    Don’t even dare talk about 2011 Referendum and how it should be conducted. If you would not be hang then. Well, you will still hear from your cell in Hague that Southern Sudan has become an Independence State.
    No terrorists or wanted criminals will dare to land in this holy land after 2011 or else they will find themselves in Hanging Knot at the ICC.
    Mr. Bashir, the ICC decision is as irreversible as your age.
    There is no need crying over spilled milk!

    It is very shame to see our leader behaving like mental person. Mr. Bashir you have to accept gentlement death by going to Hague on your own decision. My advise to you is that beaware of bird flu. Don’t just put anything in your head like you did with so call south sudan traditional dress. Who know what is there in the feathers you are wearing. Also the way your face look shows that you have tuff war inside you. You look very upset. southerners in general are not really supporting you except Tom elnor and others. you call yourself Omar Muktar of sudan similar to Omar muktar of Libya who was hunged by italian. If you want to be like him why do you refuse to die in the same way?. Lastly the mother can stop her child from crying by allowing her/him to play with her breast but the father can not allow his child to play with his testicals. You can play with southerners but Darfur people are different animals you cannot play with their lives as you always do for southerners without funishments.

    Pass our greeting to your colleagues Zuber mahamed salah and shams eldin in your paradise.

    To: All Southerners in Khartoum

    Please take a hard look at Omer Albashir in your traditional dress and tell me what you see, or in other words, Does Albashir look comfortable and happy with that dress or does he look uncomportable, unhappy, and afraid of the dress. Does he look like a typical Southerner in that dress or does he look strange. Tell me if Albashir or any other Jallaba has ever worn Southern Sudan traditional dress in Khartoum before. Why you people like to be servants, and second class citizens in your own country?. My impression about the picture is that Albashir does look afraid of the dress, uncomportable, and unhappy with it. I think Albashir would have never put on that infidel’s dress if ICC had not knocked at his door

    Not all Dogs are the same,even the UN Security Council Members were divided in respect of Mr.Albashier indictment. There is a word in English call “BELONG TO”,so we don’t get surprise when Some Southerners went on to the streets supporting Omer Albashier, this is Natural even in the Family.
    Please am not supporting but this is what going on the ground.

    INTEREST PLAY ROLE.

    Bravo to Southern Sudanese
    It’s true that we are to stand firm in protest against the ICC decision in issuing the arrest warrant to the Precedent of the Republic at this very sensitive and fragile moment. And it’s also our big responsibilities as citizens to ignore the Western influence in this matter.

    Bashir as an individual has no where to escape and will still be answerable to all the atrocities committed not only in Darfur but the entire Sudan.

    Western Countries are not happy with the current developmental progress going in Sudan and the commitment of the both parties to the CPA. They want to see to it that peace must not prevail in this country, this Country is there grassing land and if it’s peaceful where you do think they will benefit from. Here is where west benefit from donor funds which is your resources, no money is free. Every coin spent here in Sudan is an investment in return. So we must be careful as we contribute our views in Medias like this.

    Well Bashir is issued an Arrest warrant. What next to him as a head of state.
    Don’t you know it’s a state of probability? To go back to War or remain in CPA

    What do you know about the wounded buffalo in the Forest? Be careful you?

    Iam a war veteran beware.!!!!!!!!

    You’re all wrong. That’s why none of you know which southern tribe this man belongs to.

    This is a picture of a fugitive from the law. He tries a new disguise to hide from the ICC prosecutor.

    Dear all

    I think southern should never condemn Icc decision on President Bishar arrest.If some of them support him, it is because they need some food to eat, not because they support him for their deeply heart.Iam sure , southern should never forget their suffering and their relative whom were killed by president al-Bishar.If today, Omer al-Bashir had caught by his wrong deed in sudan, southern should sheer up with joyful and happhness.
    Therefore his going to jail,should be right decision because what he had done fit his jail.

    I will be remised if I did not comment on this particular issue. I would like all Southerners and marginalized people of The Sudan to remember some important points that National Congress Party (NCP) is trying to play or accomplish before the world:

    Mr. President al Bashir’s NCP has lost political argumentative points that were based on Islamization and Arabizations and left with nothing but only one viable option; the option of using some Southerners, particularly militias as the only credible people to unite Sudan. These Southern militias will on occasional basis be pushed to start the fight and then backed by Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) on behalf of unity of The Sudan, NCP would say. For example, we have already seen in Malakal 2006 and 2009, Bashir has chosen to pay and keep Gen. Gabriel Tang Ganye to destabilize the South Sudan and with the hope that SPLA opt to fight and clear the militia in the region, and thus SPLA would commit horrible genocidal crimes that will go beyond Rwanda case! Moreover, in 2011, the NCP will, in the same tactical processes, use Southern militia to show the world that Tang Ganye and his men are fighting for the unity of the Sudan while SPLA is the realy armed group that is fighting to separate the country, which is contrary to the SPLM/A principles.

    However, what the NCP is not calculating here with a political due process is the fact that the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) has been witnessed by the whole world and clearly granted Southerners the rights to opt for majority votes that will either call for unity of Sudan or independent South Sudan, and should Southerners opt for their independence, the SPLM/A has both political and legal obligations to support the Southerners’ decision. And this point is well understood by the international community, not excluding ICC itself, nevertheless, the NCP is not calculating it with a due respect but hoping that Southerners are still in primitivism and dark times.

    So, with respect to other political due processes, let’s not be surprised by as to who initiated such supports for Bashir and the use of Southern Sudanese name here as a representative name that will always be used by the ideological bankrupted NCP.

    Simple point, Darfuris did neither participate in the killings of Native Americans nor in the American atomic bombs on Japanese people and neither world nor Darfuris condones these events; so why revenge these atrocities on Sudanese people? If you can not give clear reasons, then, we know that since Sudanese people could not be blamed for these wars, Bshir has lost his mind and therefore, he has no credit claiming these on Sudanese people.

    Last but not least, this is the final phase of NCP’s political and ideological bankruptcy! In fact, there are no good reasons to taint other credible Sudanese people who are capable of putting Sudan together including some of goodwill NCP members. Therefore, it will be in the interest of Sudanese people if you pack your things a go home and goodwill Sudanese will do their best to defend Sudan rather than individuals.

    Dear all,those who support Bashier are worrying for their life because if they don’t support him, they should be murdered easily by bashier as he did to other brothers and sisters in Darfur and Southern Sudan. The world may think that the Sudanese people like their president but they don’t like him. He is the most hatred president in this country. He has been forcing citizen to support him in order to mislead the world that the Sudanese people like him. He has been using these tactics since he took power but the world didn’t realize it. Even now, may be some people loss their lives. Who knows. He is a master of killing poor people but world still support him. Like those of AU.

    I am not surprised by those Southern Sudanese who are protesting the ICC’s Action against omer al-bashir. No need to blame them, because they are addicted to bribery and oppression by president al-Bashir’s government during the north-South war. They don’t know the goodness of freedom or democracy.

    Anyways, as a member of Southern Sudan who had been in war for several years, we would rather go back to war than the ICC pardoning president al-bashir.

    I am ready for back to war if omer bashir wants. No need for CPA if people continue dying in Southern Sudan and Darfur.

    I salute my beloved people of Southern Sudan for their support to the president of Sudan, Mr. Omer El.Bashier, the engineer of the CPA.

    Sudan is our country and her president is our president, thus we can’t accept his humilation by those insincere and jealouse people of the so-called NATO!

    Why those are calling for his arrest when we are at peace in our home? where were them, when we were killing each another? where were them when our 2 million southern Sudanese were being killed? where were them when our kids and women were being subjected to the all kinds of human suffereing? where were them when the real genocide where taking place in Southern Sudan???????

    I believe we overcome the stage of calling for the president arrest,as we are begining to see the light through the tunnel!! Sooner, there will be peace and stability in Darfuur and all other parts of Sudan, there will be development and true exploitation of resourecs, our country is big and rich with naturual resources and I hope we will have a big influence and impact in not only African economic but to that of the world if we are stable and peaceful!

    Peace to Sudan and death to her foes!!

    Nasir oyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
