Train loaded with NCP materials supporting unity arrives in Wau

By Manyang Mayom

October 14, 2010 (RUMBEK) – A train loaded with materials advocating unity in the upcoming southern self-determination referendum arrived on Wednesday in Wau, the capital of Western Bahr El Ghazal state.

The vote, due for to start 9 January 2011, is part of a peace deal between the former rebels the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the Sudan’s ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in 2005.

In April’s multiparty election both parties were accused of voting irregularities. Observers described them as being below international standards.

The SPLM has increasingly advocated a vote for secession as the vote approaches, while the NCP will campaign strongly for unity.

An NCP delegation recently visited Western Equatoria state to campaign for a unity vote.

The train arrived on Wednesday evening from Sudan’s capital Khartoum, according to SPLM reporter James Deng Dimo.

The unity supporting materials arrive in the south following the collapse of talks in Ethiopia, between the SPLM and NCP, on the referendum to decide the future of the oil-rich field region of Abyei.

A member of the Khartoum security services, who requested not to be named told Sudan Tribune that the government was prepared to deal with the military build-up in Abyei.

“We have prepare[d] security of Abyei and no damage will affect Khartoum”, he said.

The train was also loaded with sports equipment for an inter-schools sports competition Western Bahr El Ghazal state next month.

    OH My God. Train loaded with materials arrived Wau advocating for Unity! If that train was loaded with school competion materials well and good, but our Security organs are to sreen thoroughly the items in that train. NCP (National Criminals Party) might have brought in money to buy some of the weak heart individuals to rigg the refrendum result or distabalize the process.

    NCP security member said the war will not affect Khartoum if it erupts in Abyei! This is a big lie. This time it will reach Halfa, Dongola not only the nearby Khartoum.
    How did JEM enter Omdurman in the broad day light? Because all the black soldiers in SAF are fed up with this regime of Omer Bashir. During the 1990’s Islamist Dr. Hassan Turabi (NIF)was misleading the Darfurians by telling them, they have to joined Jihad in the Southern Sudan. After Omer Bashir and Dr. Turabi split from (NIF), Omer Bashir formed his new party NCP (National Criminals Party) while Dr. Hassan Turabi also formed his own party PCP ( Past Criminals Party).
    Now those who are war mongers are still with NCP of Bashir and while those advocating for peaceful solutiions to the Sudanese problem are with PCP Dr. Turabi.W’ll enter Khartoum the way JEM did and cross to Shendi etc. if NCP start the first bullet.
    May God save the innocent Sudanese Civilians for this regime of NCP.

    Nothing is clear to me in this news report. If this train was loaded with sports kits, does this imply the materials are aimed at campaigning for unity? This is a clear force of one’s way into journalism yet the capability to match up to the profession is lacking.
