Sudan opposition parties to decide on election boycott by end of November

November 17, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The major opposition parties in Sudan announced that they will formulate their final decision on whether they will participate in the upcoming elections by November 30th.

Sudan will hold its first presidential and parliamentary elections in 24 years in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).

At a press conference in Khartoum the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM) deputy Secretary General Yasir Arman pointed out that the voter registration turnout has been low adding it is directly linked to “political maneuvering” by the ruling National Congress Party (NCP).

Arman said that there are “worrying” fraud attempts and that the SPLM lodged a complaint with the National Elections Commission (NEC).

The SPLM official added that the NCP control over the media was part of the complaint saying it gives the ruling party an unfair advantage.

Mariam Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi who is a leading figure at the Umma party reiterated the position of the parties that met in Juba last September of boycotting the elections if certain conditions are not met including implementation of democratic reforms.

Sideeg Yusuf from the Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) recounted specific incidents claiming to show violations in the voter registration process which ends this month.

Opposition parties have called for extending the registration period and the NEC has promised to look into it.

Kamal Omer from the Popular Congress Party (PCP) said that the NCP has control over the country’s resources and infrastructure in voter registration and fraud.

The PCP official further said that restrictions on political activities by the authorities prevented the opposition parties from actively campaigning as part of the elections process.

Political tensions have heightened in Sudan with major disagreements particularly between the NCP and SPLM over security law, census and referendum law.

The national assembly went into recess today till December 7th without adopting the draft laws.

Ha ha Logic smells your mind before you decide on the action, i have been telling you that SPLA will collapse like a drug addicted.

The low voter registration is linked to the fact that people do not know who to vote for in the Southern ruling party, SPLM. The candidate is not known.

Mr. Famous Big Logic Boy,

Nonsence, the SPLA will never collapse if you don’t sense it out.You are very an idiot boy who talks out of mind.

If it means the extinction of your community , Dinkas may never acknowledge that.

Mr. Logic, YOUR SUBMISSION THAT THE SPLA WILL COLLAPSE IS ILLOGICAL COMPLETELY. SPLA CAN’T COLLASPSE. NEITHER LOW TURN OUT OF TO BE VOTERS NOR THE CLAIM OF LACDK OF VISON CAN LEAD TO THE DEMISE OF THE SPLA. I NEED TO REMIND YOU THAT SPLA RESISITED AND DEFEATED NUER WHITE ARMY, SUDAN FORCES, UGANDIAN REBELS, MUNDARI MILITIAS AND FERATIT FORCES COMBINED. WE GOT THE PEACES THAT YOUR DAMN MOTHER IS TALKING ABOUT. SPLA IS HERE TO STAY. SPLA OYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE VICTORY TO OUR MARGINALISED PEOPLE OF NEW SUDAN. DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS BONA, LAM ETC. AS FOR THE LITTE WORM GET READY TO BE FRIED YOU WILL MAKE A GOOD SNACK AND YOU MONKEY MAN-YOU WILL SOON BE PLEADING FOR MERCY HAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Sudan Opposition Parties are nothing to SPLM. Even if they boycot the election, they are nothing to SPLM. We fought the war without Southern Parties. Every partie from North or South fought SPLM during the war. Go we don,t betrayers.

    It is up to them (SPLM Leadership) to decide wheather to go for elections or join the notorious secterian parties in boycotting it,but still that will not stop Southern Sudanese in their determination to chose new patriotic and competent leaders for the next period leading to referendum.

      This is decision zone for all parties whether the election will be held in the sudan or not. People could not be worried about this kind of oppression say in the Sudan by greed parties and others.

        Dear Oshay,
        
        You failed to show up at the moment your fake stupid President Of Northern Province of Sudan Omar El Bashir-needed you to scratch his itchy ass from all the bad food he has been eating. He had a spoonful of hot Chilli i.e. ICC warren of arrest, Green hot Chilli from the Powerful SPLM demands-(by the way South Sudan fresh chillies are the hottest in the World) and a spoonful of hot Umdurman chilli serve by Sadiq El Mahdi. I will stop here but you can now figure out how itchy his ........he can’t sit still. ’Where is OShaye ?’he said. A marginalised voice a replied ’sorry Oshay is a Camel boy in Saudi a-he has enough of scratching your itchy....haaahaahaaaaa IT IS TIME TO SURRENDER YOU BOOLDY BABOON TO THE ICC to pay back for all the killing and the genocides that you unleashed on the South, the Nuba, Blue Nile, the Nubian people and currently on the Darfurians go to hell you and Oshit the shitty shit

        logic boy has done nothing wrong, he was simply expressing his view as an dividual and a citizen of the country. but supporters of corrupt GOSS under failed SPLM leadership always jumps up and down as if logic boy screwed their dirty asses. there is no other option rather than to admite that GOSS is a group of ganges, looters, robers, killers, and primites and SPLM is thier hiding shield. SPLM has failed southern sudan and do not waste your time calling it a "powerfull SPLM". is it a power to steal and loot public resources?

I so intense with our Government of South Sudan. Why? they are always agree on certain issue which will put so many life in danger. The NCP gives only one month to register the whole country, while most part of the country a have lack road link in between. I do mean, "Mostly" Southern Sudan".I do believed if other parts as well as Communist party, wouldn’t agree with NCP in those issue than they have right to do so. because there are a lot of problem within registration.
