Unity Agreement between SPLM/A and SNA/SAF fully implemented

Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/ Sudan National Alliance

The SPLM/SAF Committee for the Unification of New Sudan political forces met in Nairobi between January 14 – 19, 2005 to review the progress achieved.

The meetings noted the completion of joint training courses (in the Eastern Front) leading to the full integration of SAF combatants in SPLA, the shared administration of the Voice of New Sudan radio as well as increased political coordination between their respective chapters both within and outside Sudan. Consequently, the Committee concluded that the terms of the February 28, 2002, Unity Agreement between SPLM/A and SNA/SAF has been fully implemented; and, recommended to the leadership of the two parties that all SAF political, military, humanitarian and administrative structures become part of the SPLM/A.

By finalizing this union, the SPLM renews the call to political and civil society organizations to widen dialogue, consolidate peace and achieve democratic transformation by building a Sudanese political movement capable of realizing the objectives of a New Sudan based on voluntary unity and the free will of its people.
