Nafie chides Sudan’s NCP defectors

August 13, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese presidential assistant and the ViceCchairman of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) Nafie Ali Nafie had tough words for the party’s defectors calling them “frail hearted”.

The government sponsored Sudanese Media Center (SMC) website quoted Nafie as saying during a meeting with NCP leadership figures and other parties that no person has done any favors to the ruling party or the Islamic movement.

He added that the leaders within the NCP should give credit to the organization for making them who they are and not vice versa.

Nafie went on to call those who departed the NCP as “frail hearted” and described the ones who reject the party’s consensus as “doomed”.

The powerful Sudanese official urged his party members to stick to Shura (consultation) among themselves for decision making and refrain from creating lobbies and consecrating disagreements.

He also underscored the need for enhancing transparency so that the citizens are aware of the facts and eventually become more engaged in the struggle against conspiracies facing the country.

The statements by the senior NCP official indicate divisions within the ruling party though its extent is unknown. However, this is not the first time he scolded members of his own party.

In early 2010 and prior to the general presidential and parliamentary elections, Nafie said that any NCP member who attempts to dissent and object to the electoral nominations “will suffer and will have problems with us [NCP]”.

“There is no one too big in the party,” Nafie said adding that the NCP “will not break even if dissenters lead it to defeat”.

“Those who feel injustice will be given [a tablet] of Panadol” he said sarcastically.

More recently Nafie himself was a victim of divisions within the NCP.

Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir last month berated Nafie for signing an agreement with Sudan people Liberation Movement (SPLM-North) that was brokered by the African Union (AU) in late June.

The accord was aimed at paving the way for ceasefire in South Kordofan where fighting is still ongoing between the Sudanese army and SPLA units lead by former deputy governor Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu.

Bashir instructed the army to ignore the deal and continue the military offensive and arrest al-Hilu so he can be brought to trial.

Many observers in Sudan saw Bashir’s remarks as a huge embarrassment for Nafie who is a hardliner within the NCP.

    My advise to people in the North..If you want what is good, then give the splm leadership of both Southern kordofan and Blue nile…Because these are areas fill with splm members…The nuba people are scared and they want to be comfortable,So they want Abdeliz to rule them. Trust me, then you would be able to solved this issue and live in peace. Stop fighting, try it!!!..Even in Darfur you need to asign the leadership to Darfurians, the central government can then take major role in other issues such as foreign issues and economy. You see nile Blue nile is fine because people are being rule by somebody they feel comfortable with.

    Terrorists dogs inner fighting is coming to light. Nafie Ali will soon himself will break away from his childless mentor and be replaced by a brainless Khartoum92, a boy born three years after genocidal Bashir overthrow the elected government of Al Mahdi.
