North Sudan will be A Failed State as Soon as the South Separates

Northerners of Khartoum these days are mostly involved in fabricating wrong ideas to announce to the world that the black South Sudan state will be the next burden on the world if it secedes from the north, saying that many crises shall occur in South Sudan if separation wins the votes. Khartoumers and especially the important figures in the Islamic leadership want to disgrace our choice for separation after they had failed to make unity win the 2011, 9th January votes.



The Arabs of Khartoum have stayed with us for so many years since their arrival to Sudan; we showed them our trust and hospitality. We welcomed them from the deep of our hearts but they refused to understand us. They thought we were coward or stupid to let them settle in our country, the Sudan. They called us slaves; they called us animals or kufaar. They damaged the history of our country and they seriously overlooked us in the human society. But we believe that we are true human beings.



These guys in Khartoum took the first chance to forged the leadership in Sudan and put themselves above everybody. They forged the history and the past unity of the country. They killed us and forced us to remain with them whether we want or not. They thought their cheatings and tricks would continue but CPA has brought everything to an end, yet they want to intimidate our votes for separation telling it to the world that South Sudan will be a failed state. He who is born a fool is never cured. They are more than a fool.



Of course, to tell the truth North Sudan as a new country on the planet earth shall be a complete and a total failed state the world will ever witness. North Sudan will be a country of no vision, composed of wrong leaders which have no good intentions for human lives. The leaders of that country have nothing called patriotic. They are all of self interests. The leaders of North Sudan as a new country don’t really know who they are. They run after being Arabs and Muslims but they have no proper position as leaders in their own leaderships. They are just blown by winds. Their direction is nowhere. And of course they have no any simple explanation of why they want to lead and why do they want to unite the country.

Most of the political parties in the North pretend to be Islamists but of course they carry prophecy of killings and destructions. How do you expect success from a state which believes in destroying human society; an act which is against human rights on the planet we all hail! North Sudan shall be a failed state because up to date Darfur which is part of the North suffers Africans cleansing. So do northerners think that campaigning for genocide in Darfur will make their state successful? A nation which is ruled by centralists and marginalized the rest of the regions is already a failed nation. People of eastern Sudan and in the far North are neglected and the West is under serious daily crises of security of all kinds. Northerners need to care their own country and leave us alone to go. Their parties are visionless but only led by merely sheikhs that can conduct Muslim prayers. They are not national leaders but mosque sheikhs.



North Sudan will be a failed state because the leaders have no any consensus up to now among themselves. That means they are not ready to make a country of their own. Will the next state still be ruled by force as we had undergone so far? The north of these days is in the separation fever. Their worries base on shortage of resources if south Sudan separates. The barren Saharan State has no any substitutes in the place of all the going resources of South Sudan. So we in the south are 100% sure that the north shall face a total deterioration on the continent. Their political situation is controlled by hatred and wars while their economic position shall soon drop to permanent and unsolvable crises. Their relationship with the rest of the world has reduced to zero level. And in fact Khartoum suffers economic sanctions from US administration. Why do northerners fail to read and understand their own situations? A country whose leaders commit international crimes will fail. So I want to tell the readers of Khartoum Monitor that the North, will absolutely be a failed state after the South Sudan secession.

It is Just Time for Evaluation

Many politicians of northern Sudan complain of no freedom to campaign for unity in southern Sudan. They say that they want to come and campaign to make unity attractive. They complain that the citizens are intimidated by the presence of the SPLM led government in the south. I want to tell them that south Sudan is a nation composed of citizens. We shall go to vote for an independent country as citizens not as SPLM members. There are over twenty political parties in the south. Why do northerners confuse the world with their small, narrow and one-sided minds that never tell truth?

They think that to campaign for unity in the south would make our population vote for a united Sudan. However, doubts are there. It seems that the citizens of South Sudan are fed up of making this country one again. Their aim is to set themselves free.



Northern Sudanese have really failed. Shame on them! Their ignorance towards the south has led to the division of the African largest nation. They don’t know how to make Sudan remains one country. Making unity attractive is not to campaign for it. But it is to make equal development. The coming referendum is about choosing one’s future. We can not unite Sudan with an old style. Northerners have been our lecturers for so long. They lectured for disarmament and all that we saw was an army called Mujahedeen. They lectured for peace and human rights and all that we saw was a massive killing in the south. They lectured for freedom but it was slavery. They talked of development but it was the destructions of our poor infrastructures which followed their words. They lectured of equality but we remain as their second citizens in our own black nation. They talked of Sudanese rich cultural diversities but all that we saw was Islamization and Arabization. They call us kufaar (pagans) but we believe in God better than they do because we love and respect all mankind. They act as if God has entrusted them to conduct the promised day of Judgments for southerners. They say that all religions are equal but their religion has marginalized all of us in the country we love. Who among all these politicians of northern Sudan has courage to stand and campaign in front of southerners when they have failed to make unity attractive in all that they do? They promised to implement the Comprehensive peace Agreement but it was the violation that we all saw. The president of the country promised to work hands in hands with Dr. John Garang in Nairobi but all that happened was to kill our dear hero of peace. We thought that they would mourn with us together but they were smiling. The Khartoum Islamic politicians promised the world to make democratic transformation in the country’s government but all that we saw were the harassments and torturing of our freedom fighters Yasir Arman and Pagan Amum in Khartoum in 2009 by the NIF security agents.

This time is for evaluation it is not for campaigning. What do we campaign for? They talk of unity but they are seriously working day and night to divide southerners into parties and tribes. They fear to come and talk to southern citizens because their deeds are so bad and bring us bad memories. Yet they blame it on us. It is up to the north to preach for war or to work for future relationships between the two neighbouring countries. Their words are just signs of losing hope and a cry for our going resources. Anyway, the dog barks and the camel goes. What care we!

Just Don’t Register If You Think Your Vote Will Be Stolen!!

Time has come that the marginalized people of South Sudan shall exercise their right to self-determination without using weapons or other possible arms which they are used to for solving their problems. It has really come that the referendum campaign for the two choices either separation or unity has kicked off on the 7th of November. Ladies and gentlemen, our long war in search for a just peace in Sudan and a complete freedom of the marginalized Sudanese was not an exercise we did in vain. The outcome of our struggle is waiting for us at everyone’s doorpost telling us to register and vote for an excellent choice from the deep of our own inside hearts. It is actually a right of every one of us who is an eligible southerner to register and vote in the Southern Sudan referendum registration/voting centers wherever they are made available. Turning up for registration is very important because all of us want to make a choice that shall either set us free or make us remain in our lowliness which we are known of in the Islamic nation of Sudan.



However, registration for referendum is not like registration for election. In the past April elections every qualified Sudanese was eligible to be registered but now it is only southerners to be registered so don’t attempt to invite your mandukoru friends to come and be registered for the Southern Sudan referendum. If you do so it will be something more than a crime and a violation of the CPA’s last page.



In the first place during the time of registration on November 15, you have to sit down, think and decide and look into it carefully at the same time whether you shall be available in the same place during the time of voting which shall start on January 9, 2011. If you will not be there, then you better not register. Your card for registration will be deactivated in other centers, it shall not work and it has a bad effect on the referendum results. Even in one state/town your registration card becomes invalid as soon as you try to use it in a different voting centre.



The second step that you need to know and observe as an applicant for the registration is whether there will exist an act of fraudulency related to voter registration (e.g. registering ineligible voters). Like in northern Sudan and other parts of the world it is not southerners who are the only black Africans living there. The Government of Khartoum who is so much concerned of its fake unity can convince and mobilize any person to register as a southerner and force him/her to vote for unity. To prevent this fraudulency, you better stop going for registration and the center chairperson shall report that zero southerners turn up for registration. That one dear reader will be your nice plan and it is not a crime and not a violation at the same time. It is an act of security. You are trying to secure you right not to be stolen by the enemies of your freedom. If you are sure that the above doubts shall not occur in your centers then that is not the end. Use your mind again and think from the front, the centre and behind your dear brains to judge out whether you will be intimidated during the time of voting in January 2011. If so I dearly advise you to skip the whole of the referendum exercise completely. It means your vote is stolen. Whether it is for unity or separation somebody is going to use it through the intimidation he/she shall apply over you.



I am warning you on these serious issues because the referendum act says that the voters turn out must not fall below 6o% of the whole of the registered applicants. Though all of us vote for unity or separation and our number which turned out for voting is below the 60% of the registered voters then referendum outcomes will be considered failed. That may required us other means of solving our problem otherwise it shall mark our complete failure, which can not give a single chance to occur. So it is not only a matter of how many people to be registered. But how many will have turned out for voting is another essential issue.



Well, your obvious question will be: “who can do the exercise of your own future?” Your brothers and sisters who are in the south, the complete liberated part in this world will make for you the demanded choice of your heart and freedom. The referendum is a matter of life and death. Nobody can play with this game. Though five people register during this voter registration and they are sure of voting in a free, fair and transparent situation then they are completely enough to make our choice. It is just like, few of our people followed Dr. Garang in the war of freedom and they made it possible for all of us no doubt we can make it for you. Just don’t try to register if you think your vote will be stolen!!!

No Permission for Misseriya to Participate in Abyei Historical Referendum

These days many media stations and newspapers report about Misseriya people trying to find ways outside the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA) to participate in the coming Abyei referendum, but doubts are whether the Misseriya shall be given such rights or shall the two partners to the CPA accept to resort to war. Many people fear even to whisper out of what the result of this tension would.

Abyei in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement is defined as the areas of nine Dinka Ngok chiefdoms which were annexed to Kordufan in 1905 during the colonial period. The CPA has not also forgotten the Misseriya nomadic communities but given them rights to search for water and green pastures for their cattle and to freely move across the area and that these rights would be constitutionally protected. The Misseriya communities during the time of the CPA would get a share of 2% in the Abyei oil. Well, another important point is that the people of Abyei shall exercise the right to self-determination to decide whether they should remain as part of Kordufan or to return back to Bahr el Ghazal where they originally belong.

I just don’t know why the Misseriya people try to impose an unacceptable proposal when they are outside the Abyei definition. According to the CPA Misseriya nomads are not part of Abyei area. And why does the National Congress Party NCP support the confused Misseriya who don’t have right to vote for the referendum? It is too late for this proposal to be attached to the many pages of the CPA and be implemented. Why did the NCP fail to bring up this proposal of Misseriya right to vote during the Abyei protocol negotiation? This should be early discussed in Naivasha many years ago. Sudan during this era is governed by the formula drawn from the comprehensive peace agreement. Where do the Misseriya and their NCP refer us with their proposal? The history rejects the proposal as well as the peace agreement. At this time we have no chance for renegotiating the CPA but we want to implement the peace to the end. I know that the NCP has gone with a blank mind, because their things are falling apart and they have no hands to support that situation. Their hands only participate in destructions. They have been all these times trying to find ways of destroying the CPA and have failed but have recently decided to make Misseriya Nomads as their correct means of burying the agreement alive. When we talk of the nine Dinka Ngok chiefdoms it doesn’t include Misseriya. It is also true that the annexation of the nine Dinka Ngok chiefdoms to Kordufan does not include Misseriya because the Misseriya communities were not annexed with Dinka together to Kordufan. The nine Dinka Ngok chiefdoms minus Misseriya were the ones annexed to Kordufan. Misseriya are original citizens of Kordufan. My question is; why are the nomadic Misseriya communities so much concerned of what belongs to the people of Abyei? Are these Misseriya nomadic groups, clans in Dinka Ngok tribe? Will they accept to be Dinkas? We don’t have Arab Dinkas they need to know that, anyway. The Misseriya have no problem in Kordufan so they cannot conduct a referendum. They have nowhere to return. If they want to go back to Nigeria where they came from then they can go voluntarily without conducting a referendum. The referendum questions for the people of Abyei are to evaluate and choose whether they can remain in the north or to come back to the south. What will be the referendum question for Misseriya? Do they want to be citizens in southern Sudan? Why? Are they marginalized? Well if they are marginalized by the Khartoum Government like Dinka Ngok citizens then they have to look for their own separate referendum and forward their reasons and facts to why they want to go out of their Kordufan region. It will not be even automatic to say that their referendum shall need them to join their neighbours, the Dinka Ngok. They can decide by themselves of whether to make their own country or to join Darfur. I fear Khartoum will open a fire against them just like Darfur citizens if the attempt that. The National Congress party just wants to use the Misseriya group to violate the implementation of the peace agreement. The NCP thinks that they can just violate this agreement like the previous agreements which were violated in the past without success. Why does NCP fear referenda? No permission for the Misseriya to participate in the Dinka Ngok referendum. You can’t borrow history nor will it be lent to you. Dinka Ngok will not lend the Misseriya members the rights to vote for referendum and Misseriya can not beg Dinka Ngok members of that right. It is impossible because it is history itself. The Mwatamer Al-wantani is to be told that to get Abyei is not a matter of calculating out a budget for its war. Our wars which we fight against Jalaba don’t depend on the financial calculations and the amount of weapons. We pay our own blood to fight for our black soil. Abyei is for Dinka Ngok and Dinka Ngok are for southern Sudan. We can not let it just go because of threats. Abyei referendum must kick off together simultaneously with the south Sudan referendum on the scheduled date. We are implementing CPA but not satisfying Misseriya needs. If NCP is so much fearing because the referenda results will be against its desire then Abyei Council will conduct their own referendum monitored by the international community. In mathematics you can not refuse to apply the correct and true formula and expect your calculations to give you a correct answer. So the NCP can not refuse to conduct the Abyei and South Sudan referendum and expect a peaceful unity. The only way to confirm the unity of this country is to run the two referenda on the scheduled date. We know that problem here is because of oil in the region. I doubt if the NCP hears that oil is discovered in Nimule then they will claim the borderline to be south of oil wells in Nimule it is true and everybody knows that Khartoum is only greedy of oil but this time we must not give them chance to eat up our oil money. They better their own oil survey in their Great Sahara Desert.

For Misseriya they are just wasting their dear energy when they shall not succeed at all. They better build good relationship with Abyei and south Sudan because their cattle are depending on Abyei and South Sudan water and pastures. Will Misseriya take their cattle to northern for grazing if we refuse them to enter our land as per their bad relationship they are aiming to? They need to know that NCP has no toich for their cattle.

Who Will Protect Our South Sudanese University Students in the North?

As we countdown for the expiration of the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA), we people in South Sudan are really very worry of our brothers and sisters who are living in northern Sudan. Our people during the last couples of years of peace in Sudan have experienced some little freedom. And indeed our southern students have been part of this freedom. Now that the CPA is expiring and the people of South Sudan need their independent state. Who will protect our students in universities in northern Sudan, now and during the time of referendum and may be later? I have taken my big concern for the students because they are there for studies. They have not chosen to stay there. Their university calendars have made them to stay in the north inevitably unless they lose their studies? We know that students are the most vulnerable group in the north because they are also part of Southern struggle. They talked on their political rallies mostly about south Sudan problems. And the enemies of peace and freedom have already known them. We need to protect them because they are our future leaders. They are the nation we want to build up in the coming days. Our students are the generation we have been all this time trying to pave a possible way forward. They are our light to a complete and total freedom. We have realized so far in the south that education is significant for our development and it was part of the objectives which we fought the civil wars. And that is why the communities of south Sudan have sent their children for education. The southern university students in Khartoum were the Jiesh Amer (red soldiers) who fought the war of the last two decades. They are very important for us in Southern Sudan and in our history. We love them and we want them to be free and stay among us. My questions should be to the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS). Have you provided our students a possible security to stay in Northern Sudan without any fear? Are they to flee to south Sudan and leave behind their academic activities behind in those various universities in Khartoum? Shall they be allowed to express their rights openly in Khartoum without interference by the National Islamic Front (NIF) security agents? How much is their freedom? I doubt. Living in Khartoum is just like living in the cell. Life in Khartoum has been full of torturing even in the early days of a united Sudan. I have understood that any southerner is an enemy to Khartoum as soon as he decides to support separation. But is it true that one supports unity just because they are being intimidated? The Government in Juba should see to it that security is important in the South as well as in Khartoum because of our people who are living there. It will be very bad if we announce our independent state and feel fear of any evil deeds await to be imposed on our future leaders who are pursuing their education in northern Sudan universities. This can be taken as a government responsibility. We know that freedom has never been in Khartoum since the coming of Arabs to Sudan but it is highly needed now. Northerners this time think that the choice of separation for the people of southern Sudan is a violation of the CPA but the fact remains that they are just so ignorant. They think that a southerner who supports separation and lives in Khartoum can just be tortured. They are brought up not to consider other people’s rights. I just don’t understand why southern Universities like Juba, Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile Universities are still in Khartoum? Are there no plots giving for these universities to build their premises on in South Sudan? Maintaining these universities in the north is not in the place. And actually, it is part of marginalization which northern Sudan has been applying on the South. They don’t want to bring those universities here because they don’t like us to benefit from the development that we may get from them. They are educating their children in our universities and so they are using them for their children’s benefit. Is it true that Juba, Upper Nile and Bahr el Ghazal universities are in Khartoum because of lack of scientific laboratories in the south? Why not to buy and bring those laboratories apparatus to the south? Should it be true that lack of buildings is the concrete reason which has made our universities to remain in the north? We have more resources in the south and manpower is available to build any premises of any kind. There can be other reasons behind this fact. Why is it difficult for Khartoum to do something good for the people of southern Sudan yet the expect unity? This is why we say the Arab Islamic Republic of the Sudan is a failed state. This is why we say the successive regimes in Khartoum have always being making Racial Governments not National Governments.

Now our request is to the President of South Sudan H.E. Salva Kiir Mayardit to add in his long list of Sudan’s problems the protection of our students in northern Sudan universities. These students are our next commanders in the frontlines if Jalaba tries to play around with our rights of self-determination. They are our next AnyaNya III which will with no doubt fight in Khartoum. Mr. President our SPLA II or AnyaNya III will be to protect our independent state of South Sudan. Yes Mr. President you know very well that Arabs are the only enemies of our freedom in Sudan and this is why you joined war when you where a child of 17. The coming war which is pledged by the NCP will not be fought again by the current political figures in south Sudan. It will be fought by us the youth and the students of this time. In south Sudan every generation has its own war to fight against Jalaba. The war of South Sudan Independence is our war we the generation of CPA. And we are sure to win it. We only want protection before the enemies trigger their pistols, Mr. President. It is very important to tell Arabs not to turn up with their wrong deeds against southerners because they are the voters. If they kill them then there will be no enough voters for both unity and separation. Anyway for northerners they just want to finish up all southern voters of an independent state.

Southern Sudan Referendum; If not we, who? If not now, when?

.
The coming referendum in our country is the last examination that every southern Sudanese must go through. It is the only gate way to a united Sudan or a separated country. Every one of us up to now is prepared and ready to cast his decision if the referendum of south Sudan is held. But what comes first is; will the referendum exercise take place? Will it be on its timetable, free and fair? All the above doubts have made the political parties in Lakes state of South Sudan make a conference with the below theme. “If not we, who? If not now, when?” Of course the referendum timetable in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) is well known to all of us and that does not permit any excuses to make the exercise later than its scheduled date, otherwise it will be a violation of the agreement. And indeed it is we the current citizens of southern Sudan that will make that happen. It is our duty and right as southern Sudanese to take ownership of the referendum with sense of patriotism without expecting too much from the international community or remaining dependent on the decisions of the Northern Government. The political current situations in the country and the recent statements put upon by some important political figures in the Sudan’s ruling National Congress Party (NCP) have not only violated the agreement but have even gone beyond what southerners expected of them in the north. The statements have proved that the north does not want southern Sudanese as people but the resources in the south. Of course there is no reason to why Mr. Mustafa Osman Ismail, the president’s advisor told northern youth to prepare for war if the south separates. If this is how he advises the president, then that position is actually a vacuum. As a government you can not announce war against your own citizens before they have not even made their decision. These are the good examples why many analysts predict separation more than unity. Northern politicians are not confident of themselves. By the way, the north must know that every thing has a price. The bad deeds they had done and continue to do now against southerners will make the country to split and if the country splits there will be no more sharing of oil wealth, to me it is a good price for the ruling party.

The ruling party, NCP should also know that buying time doesn’t help at all. We just want the referendum to be held on time. If you have not made unity attractive in six years you can not make it attractive in ninety days’ time which is the least fraction of the whole of the CPA’s time. We are at the last page of the agreement and we are indeed going forward. We can not reverse or renegotiate the agreement, no amendment. It is very difficult to cheat us again. We know that northerners under the NCP’s umbrella want to buy time until the next decades in order to preach for unity to the coming generation in southern Sudan to vote for unity. However, the reality is that we don’t have time to wait for them. As men let us altogether face the coming referendum and accept its outcomes. What I like so far is that though the NCP violates the CPA in some parts, it is difficult and impossible for them to delete date 9th January out of the 2011 calendar. This date is ever there and that is what we are waiting for. Otherwise the call for war instead of preaching for peace does not scare us again. We have all gone many war experiences in the south so the doubt is with those of Mustafa Osman in Khartoum because the next war field is somewhere there. So for those of Mustafa, they should announce war and be ready to face it in the north not in the south as they may expect. My next message to the NCP and their mujahedeen religious fighters is to prove it wrong to themselves that the gate to paradise is not in the south. Because in the last civil wars in the country they cheated themselves that if one dies while fighting in South Sudan then he will automatically go to paradise. That one is an obvious lie. And I think Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon him) had not prophesized that wrong political and racial prophecy in the Quran al-Kariim. So to my fellow northern Arab youths, they are advised not to be cheated again to recruit for southern Sudan war expecting to go to paradise.

The north can not threat us with war. If they are not ready for referendum then the Government of Southern Sudan GoSS shall conduct our referendum. Then our members of parliament in the South Sudan Legislative Assembly SSLA shall announce our new country if the result shows separation. It is just simple and clear that the referendum is now not later and we are the ones to make it.
