Sudan SPLM SG says he may vote against South secession
April 14, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The Secretary General of Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) Pagan Amum said he is prepared to vote for unity in the 2011 referendum provide certain conditions are met.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed between the North and South Sudan in 2005 will allow the later to decide if they want their own independent state or whether they wish to remain part of Sudan.
“We are never with the separation principle but we support it if the conditions for unity, justice and equality among the people of the same country are not available as well as a democratic society” he added.
The SPLM official said that the right of self determination for Southerners “is an acknowledgement for the rights of the citizen and not a suppression of it”.
Amum denied that the desire to separate among Southerners is due to difference in religion with the North being predominantly Muslim adding that this perception was created by “tyrants who ruled Sudan and wanted to distance us from Arabs and Muslims”
He revealed that ex-Sothern rebel group promised the US administration that it will support “the new national Sudan project” through revitalizing the CPA, bringing peace on the ground to Darfur and improving the humanitarian situation there.
Responding to criticism that the South lacks democracy, he said that the SPLM is working to “create a radical change in the political, social and economic structure in the Sudanese society”.
“The authority should not be in the hand of a few people in society at the top and those who control the wealth which belongs to all Sudanese people” Amum said.
Many observers including US officials say it is all but certain that the South will choose to secede in the end of the six years interim period that started since the CPA was signed.
Some SPLM officials have expressed fears that delay in implementing key provisions of the CPA such as census, elections and dispute over Abyei may push the referendum further away. The South insists that it should be held on time.

Sudan SPLM SG says he may vote against South secession
Yes, you can Mr. Amum and the majority of New Sudan’s supporters will vote for unity only if Northerners vote for the same unity in 2010 General Elections by voting in SPLM to the national Parliament as the majority party with mechanical powers to be able to transform Sudan. Also, if northerners vote for SPLM’ presidential candidate to win the presidency, the unity will be more attractive and the majority will follow you Mr. Amum.
But if Northerners vote the same way they use to do, Secession will be more attractive than unity and therefore, your vote will not make any difference.
Let hope that Northerners want unity, and we will see this just in February next year in the will of God.

Dear Pagan,
It is now clear that you are trouble maker. It is too early for you to air out such words “you will vote for unity”
Pagan as your name sound you are really Pagan (Satan) how could really mention such word? Did you think first to talk or you want to show Arabs that you are their friend so that they can give you money?
Let me pray that before 2011 God will take breath away from those who want to vote for unity so that we can have free voting,though so called Dinks want to spoil it am sure at the end they will the loser.
TO HELL WITH PAGAN AND YOU ARE NOTHING TO SPLM/A.

Pagan’s political euphoria in Khartoum
It is in fact the freedom of expression that why Mr Pagan decided to say how he feel however the political right of southern Sudanese is not matching the euphoria of being in Khartoum because these euphoria doesn’t explains why the citizens in the south subjected themselves to wars and suffering but the facts much remain that any executives votes in GOSS toward Khartoum at the end of the day will not affect believe of citizens in south Sudan who had paid with their own blood to see the freedom of religions and political rights.
The people in the south will not look back because the same government who rules in Khartoum since still there and their political ambitions will not come to an end due to the present of SPLM or any other political forces in Sudan. So Mr. Pagan, you inform us on your option but what southerners have is more then what you just tell your terrorist in Khartoum. Let them eat and sleep and to keep in their minds that things will never be the same again even if you decided to throw your support to our wanted brothers in Khartoum.

Pagan, my respect for you increases by the day. You have always had a mind of your own even while in the GoNU and have not veered from speaking your mind even if that means swimming against what many see as the establishment.
Fellow countrymen who have been rubbed the wrong way by Pagan’s statement, please note that he said that he is prepared to vote in unity if certain conditions are made. I assume each one of us still has his vote to cast. Pagan was only exercising his freedom of expression.

Y0U are right Mr SG, but how can we go throught this jungle route which is now being dragged by a junglese born. To me, just get a trick to this Kiir of dinkas and this will be a solution to achieve whatever your revealing. I know you have the right priniciple for us. Imagine like now I really wonder about the current attention of junglese in politics, but having big empty heads only full of something to do with food and money. MRT SG admit that the team should beleive in slow but sure and this is what ERM is going through. There is one prinicple which says that, there are many ways of reaching your destination, we have long way which is years, medium way which may take a years or months, short way which may take months or days and we have express way which is quick and easier maybe hours or a day. Therefore a wise man you should bother yourself with this Kiir of dinkas, leave him alone on his fire and we will see the result, if he failed, then that is a right time for the entire dinkas to be the rubbish collectors if they deserve unity in South. Am telling the truth but a fool will deny at this stage, but on that day you will regret.

Wow!
No wonders, now another era for big panick has arrived for the big hearted, short vision, and food lovers to cramble over and over. The election year is approaching meanwhile the referendum is at the backyard, all these create uneasy breath to those who have been sucking blood of others without clear aproval from their own communities.
Yes time has come for those who were upgraded by their masters in return for the necks of their fellow tribe-men to think where they will go and enjoy their stolen money.
In fact, doesn’t make any different whether we separate with arab or not because a democracy is already in the midst of our communities.
Please don’t swallow your tastices for even Bible says there is time for everything. That means there is time to lie and time to face the truth. time to steal and time to be seen from stealing, time to lead and time to be hoisted.
So don’t panick panick panick.
God bless

They will be more than happy ever been before, because their going to return to dominating southern Sudanese’s for ever, what we needs to do in this is short times is explaining our people’s which way to following. Since 21s century our civilians they ‘re not access to health care, or medical cares, clean water, energy, school and developments for all Civilizations needed things that modern World driving to.
So if we loses this chance of referendum we never ever be crying to any one began because we are backs thinking people no one will shows us freedom for our self atlases we shall finding way out.
Thank you

First Class Traitors of South Sudan,
Before I list the first class traitors against South Sudan independence, let me vote my disappointment in SG Pagan Amum, who himself last year said more than ninty per cent (90%) of Southerners will vote for separation. Now he is telling Arab media that if some issues are met by the North, he would vote for unity. He talks of justice, equality, bla, bla, bla which the SPLM and GOSS do not even exercise in the South. May be he means if given enough millions of dollars he would vote for unity of Sudan. Like the 60 millions dollars he divided with late Garang which were brought by Bashir in 2005, Pagan needs some more. As a well known communist boy of John Garang their new sudan doesn’t bring them more money from Arabs now because the Arabs are not fools. How can the Arabs attract unity in the last minute? The interim period was six years to referendum, now we are left only with one year and eight months, where does Pagan Amum think the Arabs will bring money to buy his votes and make unity attractive in the last minute when he himself said southerners will vote for separation. If 99% of Southerners vote for separation, then only 1% will join Pagan Amum’s vote. Mr. SG, you luctrative project of New Sudan is dead. No Arabs will fund this project to make you fatter when they know that southerners are with leaders who champion independence for them in 2011. You go back to how you were last year as a separatist, then to join the list of first class traitors below who are popularly known as “Traitors of South Sudan.”
HERE THEY ARE:
1/ Those who for the first time in the history of the people of South Sudan betrayed the rest of the South to British cononial administration. They betrayed tribes that fought against the British in rejection to colonization. They did it by being bribed with sacks of sugar and salt. Now they end up selling their kids to Jalaba and Murle and claim that they are abducted. The Murle abduct from others as a result of being dragged into human marketing business by these sub-human greedy hearted endangered species. Since British time, they submitted themselves to sweet taste of sugar. But the other mighty and patriotic tribes fought the British until they made the British to withdraw.
2/ In 1970s and 80s some leaders like Abel Alier who betrayed the first South Sudan Regional government’s leaders. He collaborated with President Jaafaar Nimeiri and betrayed the South, earning the name from Jalaba as ’Real Son of Sudan.’ He stole leadership of the High Executive Council from the rightful leader, Joseph Lagu. Alier caused the first ever division within the South resulting to regionalism. Nimeiri succeeded in the assignment he gave to Abel Alier to divide the South.
3/ Late John Garang was sent by the same Nimeiri to arrest the rebellion in Bor and Ayod which were instigated by Kerubino Kwanyin Bol and William Nyuon Bany respectively. Garang was sent to bring back the leaders who were following those of Vincent Kwany Latjor and Gordon Koang Chol in Bilpam. When he failed to bring them back, Garang decided to join them as an alternative to implement his assignment. Because Nimeiri feared that the rebellion may cause the South to fight out its independence from the North, Garang implemented the Jalaba’s interest to keep Sudan united. And that is why he called for a united socialist Sudan in 1983 SPLM manifesto and later changed it to united secular democratic Sudan in 1994.
However, other South Sudan nationalists saw the betrayal of Southern cause and corrected it in 1991 by calling for self-determination for the people of South Sudan that would lead to independence through exercise of referendum. The Jalaba betrayal tactics through Garang failed. South Sudanese are very aware of their self-determination rights and want nothing less than independence that would free them for ever from the Northern oppressors.
Now Salva Kiir is betraying the South Sudan again by denying it of development. Tribalism and corruption (by plain traditional tribal thieves) are the norms of his administration. For how long shall we continue with these tribal failed thieves and traitors who are popularly known as “Traitors of South Sudan?”

Elders should not show bad example to the young ones,truly no one will forget the war agony of 22 year if your brain is not thoroughly washed.
If we vote for Unit rather than separation means we are still going to be under Arabs. Now what have we done? Is there need for the 22 years war? So any one who handles South Sudan vice-versa, God will Put all the blood of the innocent people upon him.
Let me hope it is just a joke not reality. Let God life and money not let us to forget things today but think for tomorrow. In case if money is gone, what next?
Come on Amum, simplify your statement for people to understand. May be you don’t mean it but people misunderstand your statement.

Dear Southerners.
First, I would special like to thank and appreciate your highness esteem for your positive comments. Please Southerners don’t believe anything you read in the internet.Therefore do your right best to defense Self- determination for 2011 referendum. I hope, the most significant step need to be attentive by Southerners is to congolomerat to win 2011 referendum, Let SPLM secretary general Mr, Pagan Amum, play his political manoeuver,
Do not squander little time busy talking for nonsense, so the time for Unity had been absolutely fiasco so far no need to disoriented ourselves, Northerner were utterely failure the United diversity nations.
on 16 April 1983, when President, Gaar Nimeiry, declare a state of emergency, in apart to ensure that Sharia law was more applied broadly. Most constituttionally guaranteed right were suspended. In the North, emergency courts. later known as decisive justice courts, were established, with summary jurisdiction over criminal cases. Amputations for theft and the public lashing alcohol possession were common during the state of emergency. Southerners and other non Muslim living in the North were also subjected these punishments. These events. and other longstanding grievances in apart led to resumption of the civil war.
In 1983, as apart of an Islamicization campaign President Nimeiry himself declared his intention to transform Sudan into a Muslim Arab state, divided South into three regions as follows Bahr El Ghazal, Upper Nile, and Equatoria. so what next do we need more?
