Sudan electoral board denies obstructing foreign observers activities

November 8, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — The National Electoral Commission (NSC) dismissed a statement made by Carter center accusing the Sudanese electoral body of hampering the work of foreign observers to the voter registration process.

On November 2, Carter Center expressed concerns about the obstacles facing election observers, including delays in finalizing their accreditation procedures. It also mentioned delays in election preparations, as well as continued reports of harassment of political party and civil society activity.

The NEC secretary general, Jalal Mohamed Ahmed, said on Sunday that the electoral body had welcomed the Carter Center and provided it with the necessary authorizations. He further said the accreditations of some observers from the Center were delayed due to the long proceedings of residence permits.

The security authorities have received the required documents and approved it, he said. He further stressed that all the Carter Center staff are now allowed to carry out their duties normally, urging the center to clarify the truth about this issue.

The NEC officials told SUNA — despite the reports reflecting the delay and slow in the process — that voter registration was going well.

A picture of a government vehicle with electoral banner for the National Congress Party is circulating in the mailing lists and discussion forums to show the use of public vehicles by the ruling party in the electoral campaign.

However the NCP has denied the use of public means in the campaign saying it was not in need of means and potential of government to implement or finance its political campaign for the next election.

Mr. Majid Haj Amin officer of NCP political mobilization asked the opposition parties to produce the evidences proving these practices.

Attention!

There is a brewing all time corruption in the ministry of finance on house rent allowance for this year.

GOSS under Kiir leadership should understand that this is elections’ year. Six months from now are too soon. It has to do every thing to motivate people to register and vote for them. People are confused about the SPLM’s contradicting statements of boycotting elections and not nominating its candidates. Citizens are also fed up of the failure by the government to deliver.

Look, I watched it on SSTV, heard it on radio and read it in newspapers a few months ago that the government resolved to pay house rent allowances to the civil servants beginning from January this year. Up to now nothing has materialized. Is this a joking government or what? How come a government makes a decision it cannot implement? Giving false hopes to citizens is dangerous and can backfire at the government. May be the money is there but those official thieves in the finance ministry want to delay the payment until accounts are closed by the end of the year and they eat the money for this year’s house rent allowance. Is this a behaviour of a government that goes for elections really?

I hope Kiir will give some incentives to the government staff during this long holiday, otherwise people will just sit down, playing dominoes and cards and not bother to register to vote for a joking government.

NCP/NIFers really succeeded in out witting the international community and ready to claim legitimacy after election. The sudanese and international have to give the credit where it belongs, Ali Osman Taha’s lawyering paid off big time. The NCP/NIF dodged the wrath of former President Bush who came close to overthrew the NIFers, but was prevented by intelligent men like Taha and the company. The CPA sugar-coated the NCP intentions in disguise. Now the real intention comes after the election. It is war or imposed united Sudan. And the world & SPLM would be just watching? Hmmmmn!!

Now Carter Center will be one of those giving the NCP/NIFers legitimacy after election. The NEC, other international observers know for sure who is heading for election victory comes April 2010. Unless something internally happened in khartoum, the NCP triumphs over disorganized SPLM. Sudanese need to be realistic!! Even Obama Administration know what time it is through General Gration. But this win would be short-live unless the question of south sudan Referendum is properly addresses after this election by the mandated new gov’t in both juba & Khartoum.

Gatwech you have brought an interesting topic which is not part of the article, the corruption of this GOSS is well known nation and Worldwide. The negavtive reputation has already been known by everyone. What we should worry is the way how this mongrel dinkas are treating the image of South people and the government out there, We have been intrepreted very bad in foreign countires by the wild behaviours of dinkas. Am worried that USA dinkas, UK dinkas, Aus dinkas, NZ dinkas, Kenya dinkas, Uganda dinkas, France dinkas and almost everywhere dinkas has destroy the names of Sudanese and South in particular. The problem is that the World diddn’t know who is nuer, who is Equatorian, who is shilluk, who is Azende, who is dinkas, who is Bari, who is acholi or madi. Only they see us as Sudanese which conerns me a lot and a lot. For nearest countries like Uganda and Kenya, some people know who are the real poison in South because the facial marke shows great different, but in UK, USA, NZ, Aus they see us as sudanese with one culture. Thise government and his tribal people makes sick and sick. For them they never admit their criminal act, accept denying all the wrong work. I pity we should think faster to this problem.

  Who is Who in Sudan: The fact should be told, during liberation, Nuer and Equatorian were all Arabs collaborators and leave southern Sudan for Dinka alone to suffer,
  
  What may you to complain alots again Guys.
  
  Big or small Logic Boy/girl will remain an Arab slave in sudan if he don’t stop such argument over Dinka.
  
  If you are Equatoria or Nuer, You may have Stamp in your bottock because Arabs fear Dinka and no one of Dinka who have suffered like you Nuer and Equatoria who are feed on bribing money.
  
  Without your Brother call Dinka in Sudan, You and your mothers may even still being fuck by those Arabs whom you call they are your best friends then Dinka who give you freedom of speeches.
  
  By then, can you speak with Arabs or can you be honour to be in good life then carrying a basket of waste product or human fecaes on your like Nubian in Northen Sudan.
  
  You can now go back and do such a beautiful jobs to pay your Miscelleneous expenses in second class citizen in your country Sudan
  
  Please don’t be foolish, That primitiveness and backwardness can’t you success in whatever you will be doing.
  
  Now,even if We Southerners united with Arabs, the community call Dinka will still be respected by Arabs because they teach a lessons which Arabs will never forget to recalled a humble and respectfull people "DINKA" in Life,
  
  Please If you are someone who went to have a vision in Life, tried to a touch yourself with a clever community or compare the work which is HIS Execellency Late Dr. John Garang and the stupid Oriented mind of Joseph Lago did to Southerners, which one among those leaders who did the best to the Southerners.

Misplaced Complained!!!

Mr Gatwich,you are a typical Gluttonous Nuer.How can you complained here about the corruption under a totally different topic,couldn’t you comprehend what this piece of news is talking about and comment exactly,concerning the topic? Nuer thinking is always clouded with this cheap thoughts.There was a guy who made a good example of Nuer thinking yesterday that a Nuer was on the plane with other Southern Sudan nationalities,probably on his first flight to the US.On the plane,he was served a drink in a cup with different colour,he complained aggressively towards a polite air hostess, but fortunately,a Nyamnyam sitting next to him,aware of the embarrassment his countryman caused, gave him his cup and the matter was resolved there.You are complaining but maybe the money has been sent to your account right now,just go to the bank and you will came back to your office laughing all the way.Another thing is that you are also indulge in corruption,else you cannot be using office internet to post your ill advised comments all the time,you need to concentrate and do your work or else,Riak Machar has employed you full time to polished his tarnished image in the eye of Southerners.

No Thank Nyagat

  Major,
  
  What Dr. Riek used were strategic move & vision. People who do not know about strategic intelligence or even game theory would never get it. It has both short-term & long-term effects. It required strategic thinker to do this. This is where Dr. Riek was misunderstood by emotional thinkers like yourself. Dr. Riek is too deep to be understood. But John Garang understood Dr. Riek perfectly.
  
  First, Dr. Riek pressured John Garang through the August 28, 1991 Creeping Revolution move. Garang gave in first indirectly through 1994 Chukudum first SPLM Convention. Then Dr. Machar set a trap for the gov’t of the day in Khartoum to enshrine Self-Determination into the Constitution of the Republic of Sudan in 1998. Once that’s done. Dr. Riek set another trap to drag John Garang into signing Self-Determination into their merger in 2002. And then subsequently Signed as the first CPA provision and the most important clause of the whole agreement that culminated into exercising Referendum in 2011 for south sudan.
  
  Therefore, Dr. Riek came to pick up John Garang in Nairobi to Khartoum in the name of CPA(process began in 2002, and finally signed in 2005). John Garang packed and went to khartoum in 2005 armed with Self-Determination Clause leading to Referendum for south sudanese. If you have a bit of strategic thinking in you, go back to 1991, 2002, leading to 2005. Ask youself, who was the most silence influential strategic thinker trigerring all these in silence? Your answer would definitely be Dr. Riek Machar Teny. But see, the crakle of hatreds in most people denies them unbias assessment of the situations and thus leads to serious lack of critical thinking.
  
  You couldn’t intelligently scrutinised the events leading to today because your mind is clouded with hatred and therefore cannot accept the reality like most of your likes. Just wait for things that are about to happen. The real strategists already know what is in the store. The Referendum will be definitely hijacked which will triger an all out war leading to violence gain of independence. It would never go peacefully since the independence hijackers are both from within SPLM and without. But the ultimate goal of independence would not be hijacked indefinitely.
  
  You guys are crying democracy and free election now, but there is no such that will happen as things stand now within SPLM or NCP. Sudan is in a great mess one way or another. The shedding of blood is a real sad situation, but it is what it takes to be free. An intelligent leader like John Garang ’d seen realistic vision through Dr. Riek Machar Teny and accepted independence for south sudan once and for all.
  
  This is why Dr. Riek is in the upper echelon of the SPLM leadership today no matter what happened in the past. But John Garang is smart enough not to said out loud that his vision was wrong. If you only use one of John Garang’s favourite slogan, "gov’ts in khartoum are too deformed to be reformed". This just tell you how John Garang contradicts himself with his vision of Secular new Sudan.
  
  The Jellaba and the islamist system is there to stay. It is their way of life. It is very simple philosophy. You are either an islamic fanatic and converted to be with them or you are out of their system. They are too deformed to be reformed!! The best solution is our rightful independence. South Sudan has legal, soudest case for independence than East Timor, Kosovo, Eritrea, Macedonia, etc. Why should we cower out of fear of unkown to demand our rightful freedom?

      Major,
      
      It is not really worth it engaging you!! I never engage you before today. But your childish engagement of Gatwech’s superior argument provoked my response. I do not really engage with born liar who are born to ruin other people like your type. No body would ever waste his/her time to be peaceful with cowardic, greedy & ’muremiin’ your likes. I thank Gatwech for not wasting his time responding to your nonsense. We may come together in grave yard and not alive if that ever happen. Keep this in your tribalistic head. I get no business with your likes. I am only here to tell the truth and nothing else on this website!! You would definitely be fed to the vulture the day we ever met alive in person in south sudan. No Joke!!

Gatwet or what ever.

I know it’s the habit of Nuer and I noticed there is some thing on fire. Why are fighting on the same story there and here? Why don’t you ask Riak Machar of this story as he yet a SPLM member?

Ask your master Bashier to offer you the funds so that you can start campaigning for him. Incase of singing on the same story Bla bla blab la blab bla the stamp you have under buttocks is confusing you.

I don’t trust you the Nuer, who knows may be NCP al ready paid you some money to spoil the name of Goss.

I can assure you that there is no war, or forced unity! President Basheersaid when the SPLA pulled from the GNU ,said that there is no soldier going to fight a war in the South.The SPLA is delaying things , they simply do not know what they want!Who is making the decision?

People in the North are sick and tired from these games.Everybody knows these games Gration knowes, USA, UK, EU they are all observing and monitering things on the ground.They are not stupid! All those journalist coming to the South are collecting very accurate and detailed informatin and just writting very little.They sympathize with and they do not like us , but at the end of the day facts remains facts ,they don’t change.

We do not hate you and we will not, but enoygh is enough , you want to be alone, have it is simple ,51% out of 67% is not a big deal for somebody who claimed that he had lost 2 millions in war.In the north people are calling for a referendum in the nort with a quorum of 90% and a majority of 75%, they are just fed up.You do not want us WE DO NOT WANT YOU; THAT IS IT!

SPLA demanded that the referendum to be held bfore the coming elections, during the last negotiations!( funny isn’t it?) This is not according to the CPA!! Why did they do so? They want to continue ruling the South ALONE,and continue the LOOTING alone!! No way election first!!They have been told by somebody more superior than us!!!!With a big stick in his hand!!!

MARGINALIZED PEOPLE OYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

brother ali i agrees with your statements that we have to let this savages from south sudan go there way or they will push as backwards.

We want to live in the north as pure Arabs and muslims,even this bvlack muslims in Darfur we do not need them anymore ,let them go too. we need a new president here in the nothern sudan, omer el basher is a war crimes man and he is not fit to be our leaders, even here in my area el jezeera untill now we have not seen a single registration officer, the government promised as that we will be registered, we raised our complains with local splm office but we have not heard naything since.

We are not interested in this fraudulent election anymore,NCP party wants to take as for a ride but we are not fools,we know abuot the corruption inside NCP, it is time for northerns to speak out againist this dictator regime of omer el basher,elections is being rigged since ten years back and the same thing happens again now, we want a president who cares about we the Sudanese and will provide for our children, omer basher is selfish and only want to stay in power but not looking after the people, my aunty died of cancer two month ago, we begged the local hopital for medicine but we got nothing, cancer is now number one killer int his country and this corrupt government officials are only pocketing the money for themselves and their families , what about us the ordinary citizens who is going to help us?

if we want democracy we have to fight for it , no one will give as our freedoms, this country has become hell on earth because of NCP oppressive and corrupt policies , allah help us.
