At last the NCP appears on its true colour

By Izzadine Abdul Rasoul

August 3, 2010 — In this unfriendly life as I have discovered, it’s not very necessary to become a prophet or very religious minded then be inspired to know the future events; but the simple commonsense to read the past and link them to current events will do excellent job to read the future events.

On Wednesday 5 May 2010 on my articles published on Sudan Tribune entitled; is American policy over Sudan invidious? I mentioned that the global Islamists will not easily let go the South Sudan for good. However they will do whatever they could to sabotage the referendum due to be held on coming five months time. The International and Regional Community, including the SPLM/A; should know that the Islamist signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, due to pressures they found from all sides; the international and regional community as well. Here its worth to add that the series of defeats they have experienced in South of Sudan after the Islamist in Sudan split in to two groups, the Popular Congress Party led by the master mind of Islamist military coup in Sudan Sheikh Turabi, and National Congress Party led by the current President of Sudan Bashir was also another factor that pushed Sudan Islamists to accept the CPA.

Reading the current situations of CPA carefully, and comparing it with past Peace Agreements in South of Sudan; the Islamist by majority agreed on signing of the CPA, despite of the NCP minority member’s rejection on the deal because they had a plan on it. The main idea behind accepting the deal was to bring the South Sudan rebels inside Sudan and squeeze them, until they are weaken then rejects the CPA like other rejected agreements signed on South Sudan. The Islamists had good examples of disrespected agreements on South Sudan; beginning from Addis Ababa Peace Agreement in 1973 between the Late former President of Sudan Jaffar Nimeri and Ex- South Sudan Anya ya rebel leader Joseph Lagu; ending with Khartoum or Fashoda Peace Agreement.

On Addis Ababa Agreement the Late; President Nimeri when people of the South Sudan murmur that the agreement was not implemented; he appeared on Sudan TV and Radio, and with the full mouth said; “This agreement is not a Gospel or Qurran that came from the heaven but an agreement between me and Joseph Lagu just signed on papers. Now we can tear out these pieces of papers”. Since that day President Jaffar made his statement; the Addis Ababa agreement was buried alive. Another disrespected agreement on South Sudan that encouraged the Islamists in Khartoum, was Khartoum Peace Agreement on signed 1990, between the Islamist government in Khartoum and two splitter factions from SPLM/A; one led by Dr. Rieck Machar and second faction was led by Dr. Lam Akol. This agreement was also put on freezer for unlimited period without any implementation until those signed it fed up pulled out of Khartoum and rejoined the SPLM/A again. The funny part of this agreement was that the self-autonomy and %80 of wealth sharing stipulated on the agreement were given zero and the fate of the agreement followed the same of that its sister signed in Addis Ababa.

The %80 let me remember the African hero the Late Dr. Garang; when they came to wealth sharing agenda on CPA; he asked for %80 from wealth sharing. The NCP negotiating team was surprised, and immediately rejected the idea. Dr. Garang, without hesitation said; “Hey guys I did not ask more than what you have given and written on Khartoum Peace Agreement where your party signed on it”.

Dereliction of National Congress Party on CPA did not start only today; but immediately, after the killing of Late Dr. Garang on plane crash. I was told by very authentic source that Nafie Ali Nafie in one of secret meetings of his party NCP; told the audience that they did not signed the CPA to be implemented on the ground; he added that, they will continue the whirligig with SPLM/A until they get dizzy, loose balance and forget these pieces of papers.

Alas; the Jallabas in North of Sudan miscalculated and were blind to see the progress that happened on the thinking of the people in South of Sudan. They though the people of South Sudan of 2005 are the same people of sixties and seventies who with words of mouth only could be cheated. Very sadly; the Islamist who are mostly from North Sudan discovered lately the facts that people of South Sudan and other areas marginalized areas, learned much from the wars they enraged against them as well as continuous cheatings from the Arabs in the North of Sudan. Therefore; I can’t belie my feelings that the hot statements that come from mealy mouths of NCP members these days are because they lost the leash of politics in Sudan; despite they have employed thousands of the scholars inside and around globe to think for them on Sudan politics. It’s apparent that the minds of the bulk of the thinkers they have rented came to their limits. However; that is why they came to their last resorts, such as threatening the referendum of the people of South Sudan by Osama Bin Laden on one side, and boarder’s demarcation on another.

I was astonished to read statement on Al-Rakoba website, where the former President Suwaar Al-Dahab said that, if international and regional community are pushing for the secession of South of Sudan; these steps will bring Al-Qaida elements to get involved in South Sudan and entire region as well. On 30th July Sudan Former Spy Chief Salah Gosh also made threatening statement that his government would not accept the ruling of the International Justice Court on Abyei boarder’s demarcation, with excuses that there are other areas within the borders of South Sudan and other Northern States that has not been demarcated. Although if I am correct it’s Abyei boarders only, that are stipulated on CPA because it was the only disputed area. On 31 July the former Minister of Energy and Mining Ahmed Abu Jaaz, the man who supplied the Mujahedeen of NCP with all means to fight in South Sudan; said; “We will never accept the independent of South Sudan”. Which means even if the people of South Sudan in a free and fair political environment vote for the independent of South; the National Congress Party will not accept the result. What does this means?

With my simple mind; this is a declaration of war against the South Sudan; if I am not wrongly understood the words of these men. However; according to a proverb of my African tribe in Sudan, my assumption might be %100 correct. The proverb says; “If poppies start barking the idea is from mama or dad dog”.

Before I finish the writing of this article; the next day on 2 August 2010 as I expected VP Taha on media told a youth gathering for the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in Khartoum that all the countries in the continent except two support North-South unity even the major powers hostile to Sudan. “This means that there is no one is working for separation” Taha further said.

“Even if the South separates it is threatened with further split if it witnesses differences” VP added.

I am also expecting in the coming days and before the referendum, the NCP members to publically state that they don’t acknowledge the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA); and adding to it; “soak it in water and drink it”!!!! This is the phrase the Islamists always repeat whenever they fed up from certain situation.

The question is why Islamist started getting nervous at this time; although they won the elections in the North of Sudan are they claim?????

As I have repeatedly mentioned that the Islamists pump a lot of money and energy, to rent global thinkers to help them on their devilish plans. In the past months they were able to mobilize all of their resources until they succeeded to convince the two International and regional bodies AU, UN to replace Darfur rebel Leader Abdul Wahid Nur who refuse to sit with the National Congress Party to be cheated. According to my own opinion the two International Bodies were fooled by NCP because they accepted Al- Sissi the UN employee to be a rebel.

On this issue the Inner City Press released on March 28 published the following; “Despite Al-Sissi being out of The Sudan for 20 years, and being a full time staffer of the UN’s Economic Commission for Africa, he was brought to the fore as purported replacement for Abdel Wahid Al-Nur, leader of the legacy rebel Sudan Liberation Movement, whose Fur tribe has thus been unrepresented as Al-Nur refuses to participate in the Darfur talks much less elections.

A Fur willing to talk with al-Bashir was needed, and a UN staffer was found. But to be a leader, he must have put time into the rebel movement, while being a UN staffer. Why was this accepted? Inner City Press is informed that Al-Sissi’s supervisor at the UN Economic Commission for Africa, Abdalla Hamdok, complained about the moonlighting or double service of Al-Sissi, but that nothing was done. End of Inner City Press Reports.

The idea behind bringing Tegani Sissi, was a plan from National Congress Party to cool down the situations in Darfur and prepare itself for war of the referendum in South Sudan. NCP calculated that the war in South Sudan, will include Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains and it will be difficult for them to fight on all these fronts. Therefore; it was very important and wise for the Islamist to pay all what they have to inject antidote to Darfur problem before they are put in trap of the four areas war.

Yes indeed; for those who can read the future events very well, will come to conclusion that the attacks on IDPs at Hamidiya in Zalingi, Kalma was expression of frustration from National Congress Party that their plan to cool down Darfur and prepare for South Sudan independent war has failed; meanwhile the voices of independent of South Sudan have increased. They also expressed their frustration on UNAMID forces on the ground by threatening them to be attacked and investigated even if they are walking inside Niyala.

In conclusion I would like to tell the people of the margins in South Sudan, Blue Nile, Nuba Mountains and Darfur that Islamist in Sudan will never respect any deal signed as long as these deal would minimize their domination on resources of the all country. Also they will never stop the killing of the people in margins of Sudan as long as they are supported by global Islamist and Arabs to save the Northern Arabs from living in dried arid land that produces nothing but dust and heat.
