Sudan shuts down SPLM-North offices in Khartoum
September 3, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — Sudanese authorities today closed the offices of the opposition Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) one day after clashes erupted between Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and troops loyal to the chairman of the party in Blue Nile state Malik Agar.
Sudan’s security forces shut down on Saturday the premises of the SPLM in the capital Khartoum and barred the entry of its members to their offices. Also, a police force seized the office of the SPLM-North secretary general Yasir Arman in Arkweit suburb.
Police informed the party members who tried to get access to their offices that the SPLM activities are banned until the regularisation of its activities.
Kamal Obeid the government spokesperson said at a press conference on Saturday that 95% of the SPLM members are now foreigners. He stressed that the party has to register officially and to disband its armed militias.
The political parties law says before its recognition as political party any organised group has to renounce the use of arms. This clause prevented the Sudan Liberation Movement of Minni Minnawi from participating in the 2010 general elections.
The SPLM-North troops were to be disbanded six months after the conduct of the popular consultations a key part of the CPA for South Kordofan and Blue Nile intended to assess whether the grievances of the two areas had been addressed during the six year peace deal.
However, since last June after armed clashes between the Sudanese army and the SPLM troops loyal to Abdel Aziz al-Hilu in Southern Kordofan, the insurgents say a new security arrangements protocol should be negotiated.
Since August, the SPLM has been negotiating an alliance with three rebel groups in Darfur region to overthrow the regime of the National Congress Party through political and armed means.
The Sudanese officials accused the elected governor of the Blue Nile state of preparing to launch attacks on the position of the regular army.

SPLM -North, geographically you are tied onto a dog’s tail who may exercise all his powers to oppress and torture you.
The way to go is exercise caution and patient, time heals the pain. Once again sorry!!!

I don’t know how long will the world continue to ignore the massive threats that the NCP regime is imposing on the black Africans in Khartoum?
I’m starting to think that may be our independence on July 9 has exposed our fellow Black Africans in the North Sudan to any type of harassment, embarrassment, humiliation, torture and defeat. I don’t think we will enjoy seeing our brothers in the North Sudan been humiliated like that, those are the very people who fought with us for a long time. GoSS and the international community should do something to help our brothers who are now living under the darkness of threat on their own land.

It is not a solution to shut down the SPLM-N offices in Khartoum or else where in the Sudan because their guns and other means are not that being shut down or closed.
Khartoum is behaving like the mad dog.
There is nothing that the Juba can do but to see the means in which the people of South Kordofan and South Blue Nile be assisted.
they are brothers and sisters who need to be helped be it what means.

The Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue-Nile, you guys have more power than those clowns in Khartoum, what are you waiting for! joint forces and take down Khartoum within a single week.
Remember with the 100% oil Sudan use to have, South Sudan is now gone with the 80% of it, the remaining 20% is in South Kordofan, Blue-Nile and Darfur.
The power is all yours whether it’s manpower or economical power, all you need is the will to do it otherwise Khartoum will divide you and kill you one by one! Remember, it’s that old trick in the book, “divide and conquer”.
Remember it’s your own brothers who are used by Khartoum to come and kill you, just in the way they did in South Sudan for the last 20 plus years of struggle.
Even with all that, South Sudan overcome them and now we are free more than ever
