Opposition parties in Sudan postpone Thursday demonstration
December 9, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – A coalition of Northern opposition parties and Sudan people Liberation Movement (SPLM) decided to delay the demonstration originally scheduled for Thursday until next week, according to multiple sources.
The parties met on Thursday at the headquarters of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Minni Arcua Minnawi who is also the senior presidential assistant. They include Umma National Party, Popular Congress Party (PCP), Sudanese communist Party (SCP), Umma Reform and Renewal Party (URRP), National Sudanese Alliance and other smaller parties.
They agreed on continuing political mobilization across the country to press for democratic transformation and preserve the peace agreements.
Sudanese police detained three senior opposition figures and more than 100 demonstrators on Monday as part of a wide crackdown against a planned protest.
Southern protesters responded by torching offices of Sudan’s ruling National Congress Party (NCP).
The Sudanese presidential assistant Nafie Ali Nafie and Vice-President of the National Congress Party said that the opposition parties will not be able to topple the government through “creative chaos” saying that the government is able to detect their plots.
He called on Sudanese opposition parties to form an alliance in the elections saying “it is the only way to change the regime”.
The former Prime Minister Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi warned the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) against policies contrary to national consensus which will throw the country into a “dark square”.
Al-Mahdi said that the Sudanese people will not halt their protests “as long as it wants to live in dignity”.
In rare remarks, Minnawi said that his participation in the government in accordance with the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA) is “marginal” and condemned the “heinous violations committed against the Sudanese people from the NCP bodies which are thirsty for oppression and injustice which clearly exposes and demonstrates their totalitarian mentality and their lack of tolerance”.
The SPLM and NCP have failed to agree on a package of democratic reforms bills ahead of next April’s elections and on a procedural law for the south’s referendum scheduled for January 2011.

Do you think the so-called chaotic demonstrations can be carried out after Dr. Machar arrives Khartoum on Tuesday and Kiir sneaked into Khartoum on Wednesday? No way!!! The communist reckless Pagan and Yasser have been told to shut up!!! Let Sadiq Al-Mahdi and Dr. Turabi do it alone and NOT using the SPLM who partners with NCP in the CPA.

Don’t be fool;
Minni Acrua Minnianwi is a fool leader and we can’t defend ourselves with his policies since he leaving Furris to suffered in Darfur, then why!
Demonstration is good but when demonstration is made, there are some Political party leaders who will be most victim during demonstration.
SPLM should do its own demonstration with its own jurisdiction because last demonstration,SPLM leaders were the victim. I don’t went such thing to happen again.
SPLM fight with Sudan government for over two decades with out those oppositions parties, why SPLM involves when Oppositions parties demonstrated when they demonstrated.
Have any opposition in Sudan help during the war, if not, then SPLM should remain seperate party in Sudan and do it’s own affairs since it is just matter of hours, and it will be different country.
SPLM leaders should focus on Southerners lives then to do causes another wars in Sudan which can make many Southerners to suffered, and opposition parties whom you defeending yourselves will remain in Sudan.

It is good that Nafi Ali Nafi recognize that the dictatorship regime of NCP can be removed through forming democratic alliance, NCP has lost popularity and its now at its very weakest point in Sudanese history, it has been exposed as a barbaric dictatorship which has not support of the majority of Sudanese.
