Political Forces are Spitting on Referendum with Bitterness that May Lead to the postponement of It

It seems that the political conflicts between NCP and SPLM are going to add darkness tension on Sudanese in up-coming referendum. Last two weeks, the National Congress Party's members have been hurt emotionally due to the boycotting of their invitation.

The reactions of the NCP is knowledgeable to every single citizen, for the party has been known around with it evil games. All the party's members are literally dying from anger which cause by the SPLM leaders and other opposition parties. Indeed, People have heard the words of madness in media from NC P's deputy, Na fie Ali Na fie when he says that, “ there will be a political suicide if the SPL M attempted to declare independence of South- Sudan”. These are words of military act which may be apply by the ruling party against whoever stand on its face. Since the SPLM objected the meeting with Al- Beshir, the wire of partnership has automatically disconnected. And the National Congress Party will apparently demand to put off the referendum whether the SPLM wants it or not.

Stubbornness of two parties, the NCP and the SPLM in Sudan can absolutely create barometer rising or deadly explosion in the country. The SLM of Salva Kirr and his SG, Pagan Amum are still playing dirty political game which intolerantly may cost people lives. In the real world, it is unusual to use the same plate that you eat on with your partners, and take it to eat on with the enemies of your partners. This is politically poison from the SPLM leadership. The SPLM should has not joined hands with extremely Islamic parties that are seeking to take over the power in the north-Sudan. Now, the SPLM has already spoilt relationship with the ruling party. Sooner, when Al- Beshir use his military attitude, former prime minister, Sadiq Al-Mahdi can easily flee to Egypt while Dr. Turabi does not mind to be in prison. What Mr. Kirr would do then? Of course he would yield to Al- Beshir and accept what he has refused. Otherwise, people will go back to war. Sudanese have to recall two decades of war between North-South Sudan. If the military act is a possible action again, then how long is it going to take for both sides to come to the talks again?

The SPLM leaders should have know that the above mention parties do not like CPA. Dr. Turabi, for instance, is a man of so many sides that the SPLM should not take any single word from him. Even though the politic is the game of smartness, the SPLM should leave Dr. Turabi alone. Those Islamic politicians never deserve collaboration in any matter. They always try to put their heads in any side so that they can spoil any political manoeuvre for their own interest.

There are some people out there that keep beating a drum for secession of South Sudan without asking themselves a simple question as it may sound as this: How the southern Sudanese will go for referendum without getting a ticket from NCP? I think this is a critical time for Sudanese to come to the conclusion of how genuine politicians in Sudan show their capabilities. January 9^th , 2011 is not going to be the end of the political challenges but the beginning of the political clock to start ticking in every side of Sudan . That\'s why the momentum of referendum is going to be totally different than April elections. Now, it is the time for southerners to open their eyes to see how SG, Pagan Amum and his boss H.E. Kirr are going to face NCP under leaderships of H.E. Al- Beshir and Osman Taha. It may be too late to the SPLM leaders if they don\'t know more about the NCP. The reference is physically available with them. The SPLM doesn\'t need to go around to read something in a paper as a reference. However, the reference is Dr. Turabi who has challenged the NCP for several times without achieving anything. The NCP party is the one of the most powerful party in Sudan, which know how to construct its politics that give it a positive feedback.

As a matter of fact, the NCP has had automatically put off the referendum. Who will be blamed if the NCP persists in postponing the referendum? Any question has arrow pointed to the answer with the honesty. The SPLM Oyee leaderships are going to be reprehensible for any reaction which the NCP will be taken. Because the SPLM Oyee leaders, now a day, are trying hard to be a good cooker in politics; nevertheless, no one knows for along they will recuperate from political mess-up while NC P\'s stormy devastating southern Sudan as though there are not others genuinely leaders in south Sudan that can do magnificently better job than the current leadership of the SPLM. Southern Sudan needs leaders who can either say no or yes when they have already studied the feedback of no or yes is positive for their people. Now, the SPLM leaders have to handle that burden result, because they should have attended the meeting whether the NCP wants to discuss the preparation of up coming referendum or not addressing Darforian\'s issues.

Unfortunately, the SPLM leaders have chosen to marry opposition parties and divorce its partner, the NCP. Let\'s the opposition parties keep dragging the SPLM around for their own Islamic propaganda that has nothing to do with the future of South -Sudan. Let\'s H.E. Kirr continues attaching and listening to the leaders of the of opposition parties if they are people that have hands on CPA. The conclusion of self- determination for people of southern Sudan to demonstrate their future is not so far, though, from anyone there. It\'s abstractly waiting behind the yard of all people of southern Sudan. However, there will be too much painful tears that citizen of southern Sudan may experience. Because the out-come of referendum will not and can not be the will of people of S. Sudan. Thanks may lord bless you all !!!
