Yes it is for real! the Sudan we know is no longer there. it is another country now. For me it is quite strange sad feeling mixed with anger that this happened. I totally understand where southern coming from and their motives to seek independence. who ever denies that they were treated as second class citizens is just blind to the truth. If I were in there shoes I would fight for independence no matter what the cost is. If I am not in a position of equal I would not agree to live in the same country, would you?
My anger as North Sudanese is directed toward the Sudanese elite, who totally destroyed this country! who had no understanding of power sharing, they were divided into ideologies and each of them tried to force it down the throat of the other party.
The NCP has never been weaker than now. Everyone is blaming it for losing one third of the country. NCP will face huge loss of revenue, for sure NCP would not cut spending on army or security forces but instead it will cut spending on basic needs and public services such as education and health. food prices and services prices will increase in addition to tax hikes.
NCP to stay in power it has play the religion card, Sudan is being targeted because we are Muslims. NCP state it will fully apply Sharia law now they got rid of South, hoping this will help rally Islamisit and radicals around NCP rather than having them against it. But when it come to Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and Darfur NCP is playing a dirty game buy presenting it as Arabs against these minorities. NCP is trying to present Arabs ( to be accurate people from north and Central Sudan) as victims and wrongly accused of things they did not do. it is true that Sudanese living outside Khartoum and Gazera lack basic services and suffer of marginalization but nothing compared to the rest of Sudan. Now these three regions see that there is no change in Khartoum behaviour toward them and they still have no say on power and wealth, so most likely they will follow on in south of Sudan steps.
Things will play out in the next two to three years, hope north Sudan will stay as one country! I know we can do it, we can live together without killing each other.
