New rebel group emerges in central Sudan
January 12, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – An unknown Sudanese group has claimed it has scorched 5000 acres of government-owned sugar-cane farms in central Sudan as a declaration of rebellion against the northern government in Khartoum, in yet another sign of the growing domestic volatility as the country hurtles towards a likely breakup.
The group, which dubs itself “the Revolutionary Front of the Central Province – Battalions of Sons and Youth of Farmers” on Wednesday issued a statement saying it had started a new rebellion in Sinnar State in central Sudan. The group claimed it had set aflame 5000 acres of sugar-cane farms owned by the Sudanese Sugar Company.
However, the group’s claims could not be independently verified nor confirmed by the central government.
The group’s statement, which was dated 9 January to coincide with the beginning of south Sudan referendum vote, accused the Khartoum government of “systematically marginalizing” the central province which also holds the Jazzirah project for producing cotton. It further warned that such marginalization “leaves no other choice but confrontation.”
Sudan is facing a likely breakup as a result of the ongoing referendum vote on the independence of south Sudan region, the vote was promised in a 2005’s peace deal that ended nearly two decades of north-south civil war.
The group’s statement further described the burning of sugar-cane farms as “a direct evidence” of their battalions’ ability to “elicit the rights of our people by all possible means.”
According to the group’s statement, the central province never enjoyed sustainable development and suffered from the “misguided policies of privatization” which turned “a national project into a parasite project.”
The group also blamed the government for what it called the general deterioration in public service and prevalence of financial corruption.
“The spark of the revolution to right the wrongs in the central province has started,” said the statement, warning that the revolution will extend to include every part of the region’s soil.”

The new rebelled group is overshadowing their jeopardy of our CPA. They are trying to let the war errupt everywhere in Sudan. I call this act as jealousy. South is getting independence by any mean. Let them shred the north, not south.

How many wars is Bashir going to fight? Darfur, Central Sudan, South sudan, Abyei and even at his own courtyard. That is too much for him and he should allow Darfur to come out like south Sudan if he wants to live.
This is how Arabs behave and that is why there are always chaos and suicide attempts in Arabs countries.

Dear Southerners are you see what on this rebellion against Al Bashir leadership government in Khartoum this is nonsense because how many years that those unknown group are there and they are keeping quite but today when they see us that we are almost to recieving our full independent then they are wake up and say we are marginalize also that is totally nonsense. so what I see from them the want president Bashir to fear not to allow South to go so that we Southerners citizen will continue making bricks for them in Sinnar and other odd job as their slave. look at them they are name themselves “unknown Sudanese group”. why their leader does not declare himself? so we Southerners we will not support them a total this is a propaganda of northern tactic let them go to Egypt, Lybia or other to seek their support apart from Southern Sudan

This is a morbid hatred, which is showes a very sick mentality.Nobody in the north expresses happiness for the suffering of any other human being.
To burn the farms of the farmers and to claim to defend their rights is rediculous.
Sudan is not going to be affected by such a minor incident, particulary in Algazira people are well educated and civilized and they will stop such rubbish and leave you to die with your hatered.

Hey there folk!
this is an other pain in the ass to the notorious
(NCP) hope the face it and deal with its consequences.
The baddest thing is, i wonder how they are going manage confronting all those rebels factions up in the north…matter of fact their divid and rule policies has greatly brought all these messes to the country.
It’s some sort of unhealing wound anyways and it needs special remedies to get cured….
What i am driving at is that the (NCP) must step down and give chances to other parties to transform the country with new fresh vision and tranparency that would pave ways and oppotunities to all the marginalized folk up in the north other wise is gonna be disaster if they are clinging to their outdated greedy-rules.
However, i don’t actually condemn the rebel upsurge…i would personally wish them good luck in determining their demands and right just likewise the way we are as southerners….nothing is easy to achieve without one’s sacrifices and thank.
