March 1, 2009 (LONDON) — The rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) said today that the Sudanese para-military Popular Defence Force (PDF) plans to spread chaos in the capital and attack families of alleged supporters of the International Criminal Court on Wednesday, March 4.

JEM said it received reliable information about plans by the PDF to target the families of the ICC supporters in reprisal for the expected arrest warrant by the judges of the world court against the Sudanese President Omer Hassan Al-Bashir.

The judges of the ICC pre-trial chamber announced last week they would announce their decision over an application for an arrest warrant filled by the chief prosecutor who accused Al-Bashir of genocide, crimes against the humanity and war crimes on next Wednesday.

According to the rebel movement, the decision was taken during a meeting of the PDF held this weekend in Khartoum. "Mr. Kamal Abdel Lateef, State Minister of the Ministerial Council headed and addressed the gathering."

"The Minister vowed to repeat what he called ‘Black Monday’ in reference to the carnage that followed the tragic death of Dr. Garang in 2005. Members of PDF are instructed to target families of supporters of ICC in revenge over indictment of the Al-Bashir."

The rebel statement was purportedly issued by the “Intelligence and Information Unit, JEM” from the “Liberated Zone, Darfur.”

Sudan is in a state of high alert awaiting a decision by the ICC judges. However, the government pledged to protect UN missions and agencies staff as well as diplomatic missions in the country, but warned against any move by incontrollable elements.

Also the head of security service Salah Abdallah Gosh last week warned "Our message to those who stand behind the ICC is that we were Islamic extremists then became moderate and civilized believing in peace and life for everyone," before adding "However we will revert back to how we were if necessary. There is nothing any easier than that."

PDF forces were officially established by decree in November 1989, only months after Al-Bashir came to power in a bloodless coup. Tied to the ruling National Islamic Front (NIF), the militias recruited extensively from Khartoum universities and spread military and civilian networks across rural Sudan, replacing, co-opting or absorbing traditional tribal structures.

The forces were under the control of NIF ideologue Hassan Al-Turabi until January 2000 when he lost his authority over the jihad due to a split within the regime.

    LISTEN SUDANESE!!

    To all Sudanese in General, North and south, East and west, all political Parties, NCP, SPLA, JEM, PDF, and more... Note that it takes just only one single devil hearted head of state to face icc charges rather than thousand and thousands of sudanese. To those stupid sudanese who blindly support Al bashire or Al ba shit!! not to face ICC charges, please think it over again about the choice you are just about to make. Al bashire fate is not too far away, and the choice left for sudanese is either to die with devil hearted dictator or let him face the charges on his own.

    ALot of similar occurences have already happened in our current century and it is a good idea to learn from them. we have seen the fate of Taliban who refuse to give up just only one man in relief of the entire nation, we have also seen the fate of Sadam Hussien, the same dictator like Bashire, even worse the Sadam. now Sudanese what do you all think is better between Al ba shit! to face ICC charges or thousands and thousands of innocent citizens to suffer? a wise choice here is nothing closer that to let Al Bashire face ICC charges on his own. It is Al Bashire who intended to destroy Darfurians, including young children, civilian, and innocent citizens of Western and southern sudan.to Bashire army, both officers, police, and soldiers, please rethink over and over about the commands that Al Bashire will command you to do. Darfurians are not fighting for any worse but for justice and Al bashire is trying to shelter their rights and freedom. please and please to both army and officers, do not attempt to destroy Darfur again. there is now where in Islamic religion that endorses the killing of innocent God creatures, including human being for no reason.

    Please and pleases to all SUDANESE we have to adhere to any decision release by ICC on Feb 4th which will undoubltely be an arrest warrant for Al Ba shit!!!

      Its always funny to read how racist Sudanese on here often, not always, are. No wonder you guys are in a mess.

      GOSS supports Bashir. Does that mean that they too are war criminals or should they withdraw from the CPA and go back to war?

      If the ICC charge leads to a brakedown of the CPA and another war i do hope those supporting the ICC charge will be the first in the front line offering their lives.

    I believe this information is very real given the ruthless nature of Omer Hussan Albashir’s regime. I think the fighting which took place in Malakal last week is some how related to this infomation revealed by JEM. Omer Albashir and his thugs are likely to go on rampage against innocent civilians in an attempt to spoil Sudanese’s ceberations of the arrest warrant on March 4th, 2009. Southerners and Darfurians who live in Khartoum must not take this information lightly. They must prepare for the worest, and fight back if attack. Remember, there is no freedom without cost. Long live Sudan for the Sudanese. New Sudan Oyee.

    My message to sudanses in general is that,when kenyan got thier voice out for failen heror jomo kenyatta to send him to England, they were united and knew differences between lunatic blood shed and freedom from slavery,what they did is to have common voice to claim their alinated land back.

    note that us president is in prosses to withdraw military wing in iraq and apghanistan just because they had finished oil in iraq and would like to get that of sudan for thier economy purpose.
    my question is that did we need our country to be international warfield?

    if not please ladies and gentleman,girls and boys i beg you hand over president bashir to the ICC merely to save the lives of our citizen, properties and oil from internation immenant evasion, because decision to arest bashir is not only from ICC but US backing.

    Teylar of liberia has now prevent further liberian distractions and he is following his case in sytematic way so give president bashir time to go and explain his goal and knick the ball to ICC net but if we take the matter for

    our own blood then some one like bashir would never had a chance for his responsibility.he got alot to convince the ICC simply ti escape the internation cell condition.iam more concern to prevent further lost of live all over sudan from internation hand because PDF won’t be there when war would be concentrated.

      Kuduhal, Jesus Christ, and tayeb M. Alhassan

      Having read your messive articles under this topic. They made me to determine who you really are, fortraiting you that you are neither Muslim or Chrisitians but true pagans.

      The so called Jesus Christ got nothing to say but just wrote his article for the sake of writing. Why frustrating towards Dinkas, Dinkas are not ICC nor the soldiers of ICC. Moreover, Dinkas did not send AlBashir to commit Genocides, Crime against humanity and random killings like what he is planning to kill innocent civilians on Wednesday.

      Kuduhal, Calling you an idiot would be an insult to all the stupid people. Kindly if you got nothing you thought about Sudan,You have the right to remain silent, so please shut up.

      If Bashir dies, does that mean the whole Sudan died or taken to court? How many millions of people have been killed by Bashir, today is his day, why not him. Please if you don’t want him to see the face of ICC, replace him yourself.

      Al-hassan, Don’t you have a terribly empty feeling in your skull? Make sure that no discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. This lesson whill thoroughly teach your deaf blinded Muslims a great deal.

        Thank Mr Mou you ’re really man of future,I think these empty mind groups ,they should n’t do any thing for all Sudanese in the future because they ’re dealing with their life in Khartoum ,Infact they ’re from Nuer Arabs I know them but let me indicated to them if you ’re name yourself ,Kuduhal, Jesus Christ, and tayeb M. Alhassan ’s not the solution to increasing your money, indeed Bashire has died already if you ’re in Khartuom dig your hole because international communities were around you prepared them selves before date so you should be firing very soon if the Bashire n’t comply with ICC,So nothing more enemies of Southern Sudan in line even if you abuse late John Garang wife and Jesus Christ , President Bashire has died with his alleged.

          To all Readers

          In family, there are those who are lazy, crazy, ignorant, arrogant, stupid, sick and violent. We have all that in our Country Sudan. The problem with sixteen General In Khartoum as Dr John said it, is not a merely assumption but a path in which the described characters above should learn between themselve and the sixteen. Some of those who are cheering for him not to face ICC are working bar-footed and the ring is almost broken. For those Southerners who are dwelling in Khartoum, think deeply because it will be your own business. This case has been there for a while and the looming issueing for the indictment was there too. You have to suck-up and move on. Dr John Garang said, " in a war, people get shot, Tank get shot and plane get shot". So, if he is indicted, perhaps there may be some choas but would not stop him from being a felony. He is cornered in the world net, he is in there. Watch out and look after the kids. It is coming.

          However, for some who suggested that United State is redeploying its troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan because there is no enough oil there is just another fabrication. If the United State might be there, it will not be because of oil but because of the life of innocent civilian.
          The United States had been to Bosania and Yugoslavia not because of oil but for the innocent civilian safety. See the circle, he is taking Al Turabi and he will be taken by ICC. It is a loop

        To Mou and Mango,good reader would be someone who could simply read carfully,anlysis and visualise but i don’t really understand whether you are following what iam saying.you need to be true readers but not to take any message at surface level.

        iam agaist those who would like to defence bashir while he got right to convince the ICC judge.Religion is different from messages on this web but there is concern whether iam pagan or what ever you said never interested me,iam tipical Dinka for sure who is living in Australia, who doesn’t need any single lost of our citizen due to political claims.

        Jesu christ is traitor who does not have sense of belonging and direction,never compare me with him. and finaly there is no way i could be your idiot with out known to each other so your word for this got no common ground my friend and you need to think big before you act.

        Don’t insualt someone you never know otherwise you will receive casting.

    My whole prayer and wish that 2011, South will come to separate from Northern Nubian States.
    It is not right attitudes, just because calling on the Name of JESUS CHRIST, it will all justify your deeds who call themselves a Christian.
    It is not a act by Christian Faith.
    In the verse of the Bible, God spoke through the Word, Love your enemy. Aren’t you Southern Sudanese supposed to be demonstrate the Kingdom of Christ to whom they don’t know Christ Salvation of eternity Life to Northern Sudanes and Darfuri Moslems?
    All I see is South Sudanese has no love for Christ!
    Don’t even call yourselves Christian, if you are not willing to work for Christ!
    Even though, myself I prayed, President of Sudan Al-Bashier to be repent his own sin to forgiveness through Jesus Christ, so he can go to heaven.
    South Sudanese, it is not your judgements towards President of Sudan, Al-Bashier, it is only through God Jesus Christ.
    I don’t want to hear those South Sudanese talks about sinfull desires towards Northern Sudanese again.
    I pray SOUTH will completelly separated from North in 2011, so you guys will stay with your own politics with other East Africans from Nigerians and Kenyans, etc...
    I’m not allowed to spoke against God’s lovelly peoples once for all!
    "YOU’, the South, Hipocrite Christians!
    Your demonstartion toward non-Christians in the world is bad ass exsample towards entire world.
    So, Please go away, make independence towards North, and go along with Bantu Africans, never coming back towards Nubians anymore in our life.
    Your South Sudanese Christians were came after English masters invaded the South Sudan and through evangelism and independence, after through England, but Makuria Nubia was the oldest Christian empire before Ethiopia, and peoples of Kush were Christians before Islam entered into Northern Africa, so don’t even spit your own sinfull nature towards unsaved loved ones.

      I am not surprsing if MR, Omar Hassan al Bashir did not learned lesson from his friendhood MR, Saddam Hussein in 2003. I thought Bashir will tell SPLM to takeover the leadership at the time he was visited Salve Kiiir Mayadit in Southern Sudan Juba unfortunately, Omar Hassan al Bashir still hoping and I guess maybe for two things, one was his leadership that, he think he do not want to give up to ICC which mean he just ignored it the fact that, his crime as a simply things when it is not any way.The Two things I would guess was MR, Omar Hassan al Bashir he thought, he will fight with International and all they Sudaneses oppositions including Northern itself, I think this is too big and too late and probably it is unacceptable for him to say that, he want to crack down those who supporting the decision of ICC coming, the decision which will be coming soon for problem’s Sudan was not damand by any one in Sudan perhaps, this is about the rule of International law so MR, Omar Hassan al Bashir must have to understand that, I know some time the dictators do n’t even read the world rule and that is why Bashir has a difficulties for understanding ICC requirement process. Let take that concept of Omar al Bashir thinking about war, well the civil war took 21 years without defeating Rebeles does he think he will defeated International world and plus all these oppositions around in Sudan. The reality must be tell to Sudanese president Bashir, it is best for him to step down or run a way to other country otherwise Omar Hassan al Bashir will left his families in a big trouble within Sudan.According to my knowledge as I grew up in Sudan.The Sudan government use to be very mean to many nations around the world and I will not be surprsie if I will see him hanging up my native president it is absolutely right to face International rule of law, it will show this example to more others Africa dictatorship to behave well and they will treat theirs citizens with honest instead of killing their own people.
      I strongly disagree with those women in Khartoum who support nor said they want to give Bashir chance to solve Darfur problem meanwhile, the implementation peace agreement from Southern Sudan is already violated by him, how it sound to you now. The really question to those apparently want to give killer Omar al Bashir chance, do you want more to be kill again by Omar al Bashir? how many peace agreement did he signed in Sudan? well, there are many peaces agreements signed by the Kahartoum government and they are not working properely despite such threaten to kill people or arresting oppositions leaders in Sudan is the key issue. You can actual falsitiability any thing you want to argue precisely politics matter however, from my view I think all peaces signed including SPLM / SPLA, there is a fragnentation this is somethings very obviously and that make every one to have a crititcal thinking about Bashir peace agreement look like there is still civil war on the Table until the esparation in Southern Sudan is done.
      How stupid our native president MR, Omar Hassan al Bashir is, he thought maybe every one in Sudan think like the way he does and this is a ridiculous, he made attemp of temptation on, while people are watching closely his tactic very single day and night when he was trying to repeated An EThiopia Adds Ababa peace agreement in 1972 but it turn to be worsen because all movements are not like the first movement in Sudan and so he eventually, will signed 100 peaces agreements in Sudan by trying to deceiving them then, he will use that tactics to collecting them one by one unfortunately, it will not going to happen from what I know in contrast,in Sudan governemt there is no constitutionalism and there is no centralization government which peope can trust it so we need a fundamental changes in Sudan as a whole. I wish they Sudaneses Rebels or oppositions leaders must understand if you all hopes for peaces agreement of this criminal Omar al Bashir and you beileves it that, Bashir will be given chance to do any thing for you then, you are waiting your time to be arrested or kill by Omar al Bashir criminal. There is no good will to beliefs it and Bashir Reime has no chech and balance in Sharia-Law and look now he is pressumbly rushing for election on July this year, he does not even thinking about that case, the ICC is a big case ever to be deny.
      The opposition leader MR, Al Truabi told Bashir to surrender to ICC because Al Truabi is educator man and he had absolutely acknowledge that, the case is too big to be ignore but Omar al Bashir arrested him because he think DR, Al Truabi is telling him nonesense but here is my question to DR, Al Truabi where is your Armies in Northern Sudan? why your army do n’t stand with you now? well, it is a deviance to tell the world the arrongantness use by Islamic people later it come out negatively. Typically, DR, Hassan al TRuabi seem to be An Islamic leader in Sudan and he has his own Army of God Alliah but it is unlikely now to have them. We knew and I get that, those Armies were army against Southern Sudan because Al Truabi were merely anit Christianity in Sudan so now they do not want to fights with Omar Hassan al Bashir criminal wanted in the world, I think Northern Sudan are all Idiots that, I had never seen in my life.
      SPLM / SPLA, Nuban SPLM/SPLA, and all Darfurians Movement must make cooperation against ruler Bashir criminal man in order to defeat Omar al Bashir Regime and this is how you guts will get a long time freedom from expression government in Sudan. How big a shameful to Omar al Bashir is, he is calling SPLM for election on July this year and he has probably forgotten about the ICC case when he himself accepted it and I quote only 9000 people dies excautely and I understood the SPLM Secretary general telling Omar al Bashir that, if you now accepted 9000 deaths of Darfurian people how would you denying the fact that, when we knows they deaths of 5000 people is absolutely a genocides and that was the reality check.

      The Sudaneses women at Khartoum are supporting Omar Hassan al Bashir dump and that make assumption to the world that, the Sudanese in Northern particularly are all commite crimes even women too. I am real serious this is a true things, women in Sudan are so fool and that why they are supporting Bashir killer and they do not even talk about feminist of paradigm which Southern Sudan people need fundamental changes for a woman to get right to work like a man, a literally when the Southern Sudan, Nuban get esparation with the Northern people then, their principles will shown fairness as in this day now there are more women working in Southern Sudan government than Northern ruler government and that is the way how framework would make achievement if this is the fundamental chages we needed from the SPLM to be.Yesterday, I was told by one my friend from Khartoum that, Bashir is pressure ICC’S supporters in Khartoum by deploying Military around they cities then, giving them orders to shot any one appearing to be supporting ICC supporters well, that kind of phenomena will not be accepted by they Sudanese people and perhaps, the whole world are tiring to see Bashir not give up. The SPLM must first acknowledge what is in Bashir’s mind and if you know it then, where is your planning forget about trying to prevent the collapse of peace agreement, it is already violated since 2006 in Malalkal clashes, but I rethink back to our braver MR, Kurebino Kuanyin Bol of which if he was alive in the SPLM/SPLA MR, Bashir will not violated peace agreement on AByei issued and Malalkal two times and not capture him in Juba. What is new MR, Omar al Bashir overthrowing Sadig al Madi why people are fearing to capture him in Juba. SPLM leaders thoughts they will be blanme by the world this is parially correct and that is how our norrowly minds work otherwise,we should n’t be worry about preventing peace when it is already being violate and we can not trust this criminal Bashir.
      To SPLM/SPLA, IT is matter of time but think about one chance only because there is no any other opion since in our recorded shown we had lost many chances during the first movement in Southern Sudan when they Northern Sudan led by Jaafar al Numeiry deceiving Rebel leader MR,Joseph Laegu in Adds Ababa peace agreement, I want you all to be supporters of ICC and just waiting the decision coming and make no mistake that, we do not need different languages which can let people confuse in your leadership direction if you use tone differently in every single you speak, I knew SPLA are so smart and they braver to do their job if Bashir still threating your prniciple then, Southern Sudan must not worry about money cut because SPLA attain 21 years without money and they had manage to fights. I think money are just an imagic things and people put symbolic beliefs which Southern Sudan is possible to creat any things do with money if MR, Bashir is cutting money in Banks for their purpos potetially.

        Good to hear from you Adoul,

        But what you need to know here Adoul is the principle behind southerners and Khartoum women, a principle called hidden trick. would you ever awake a hungry lion from its den?.the answer to this is always no. please dont be fool to hear sudanese women in Khartoum fighting against Al Bahires indictment. is just a way of showing hidden tricks. Do you think that Salva Kiir, one of the Main founder of SPLA was against Al bashires Indigment? Definitley no. I think much of Bashirs adverse actions including Genocide have spoken much to teach Southeners, Nubians, Darfurians and some Arabs in Sudan. so I dont really think that those women wailing there for Al bashires inditgment to be decline really mean it. i appreciated your comment and lets just wait very patiently to see if NCP would outlast all SPLA, JEM, and more oppositions movements in sudan, in collaboration with the world.
