Sudan’s Bashir urges army to crush all rebellions

November 26, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese president Omer Hassan al-Bashir has called on the armed forces to finish cleaning up all rebel pockets across the country particularly in Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile.

Speaking before the National Congress Party (NCP) general conference Bashir said that rebellions broke out in these areas driven by mercenaries and foreign agents who put the country in crisis.

Sudan is battling forces from the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) in Blue Nile and South Kordofan, in conflicts that erupted this year.

The SPLM-N used to be the northern sector of the South Sudan dominant party when the country was united.

Bashir again reiterated that Sudan will adopt Islamic Shari’a law but emphasized that this is not about penal code but establishing a “Quaranic society”.

The Sudanese leader said that the entire world is undergoing changes and that people everywhere and not just in Sudan are looking for freedom.

“We want to free the will of the people from subordination and oppression….humanity needs [Prophet] Mohammad’s guidance,” Bashir said.
