SPLM sold out opposition

Today’s agreement between northern National Congress Party(NCP) and SPLM was a surprised to me. Not the fact they reached an agreement but what they did agree on.

SPLM seems to care more about independence of southern Sudan than the democracy reforms. Mr. Pagan Amom (SPLM) told BBC Arabic service today that both parities have agreed on referendum law, Abyei, and consultation law. Legislation regarding security forces is going to discussed through a special committee by the two parties.

It is clear that SPLM is not interested in National election taking place this April as long as legislations related to southern Sudan referendum are approved by the parliament.

SPLM has used northern opposition parties to press NCP into giving them what they want in exchange of lower down the demand for laws reforms which will create the require environment for free and fair election.

SPLM main supporter are in south Sudan which make sense when it make the previous mentioned laws a priority. NCP main goal is to stay in power by all mean. The big looser here are northern opposition parities who joined SPLM in last Monday demonstration.

I am Sudanese and I have the DNA to prove it!!!

People keep asking me why I did it? I did it for one reason, Knowledge. In Sudan we always ask the question of who we are and where did we come from?! So I did send my Saliva for DNA testing . The service provide you information in regard to your health and ancestry. The service is called 23andme.com , you can check the website if you are looking for more information or explanation of what am about to say, they have nice videos. You will notice from the graph the DNA analysis concluded I am half north african and the rest, or most of it, is Sub- Saharan African . I have no doubt this represent most of North Sudanese with different percentages for each one. It basically showed that my Y chromosome did come from North aftrica, you get your Y chromosome from your father who in turn got it from my Grandfather and so on. My my Mitochondria, which the organism that provide energy to most cells int he body, was handed to me from from my mother, and she in turn got it from her mo

Girifna!

I know everyone now is concerned with referendum and likely separation of south Sudan but let us go back to the election period and have a look on this video. Recently there has been this movement called “Girifna” which in Arabic means “we are fed up”, I know it sounds strange that one world translate into three worlds in English. Since the aftermath of the election the movement seems to be getting weaker and lost momentum! i guess it was inspired by arising hope of change and the possibility that there will be a new face for Sudan politics, but the hope was shattered by the announcement of Bashir victory. Did anyone hear anything since that time about Girifna? you can find them at http://www.girifna.com/ Sudanese Elections: Music & the Vote with NasJota and Girifna from Michal Shapiro on Vimeo .

Sudan: History of a Broken Land

This is a good documentary about Sudan before the separation of the south from the north. it was aired by Al-Jazeera English almost more than a year ago. it just showed how politicians messed up Sudan for the coming generations. I would say it is relevant to current situation as we as Sudanese are repeating the same mistakes but now in Darfur , Kurdofan , and Blue Nile . Al Sadiq is right about one thing, the north has to apologies for associating salivary with the degree of blackness.
