SPLA/SPLM: the neglected terrorists Organization and a big question circa the American’s War on terror
Related to country: Sudan
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


After the September the 11th, 2001; horrific atrocity committed in United States of America by the Al Quaida Network, masterminded by Bin Laden; the President of United States of America, Mr. George W. Bush declared war on terror. His statement to the Congress and the people of USA on September the 20th, 2001 that,” the war on terrorism is not only targeted at the Islamic fundamentalisms but all forms of terrorism,” the statement of Bush to another externs clearly means that, terrorism is not only associated with Muslims but also with Christian fundamentalisms and the atheist conservatives. To the people of South Sudan, the declaration of war on terrorism, means the USA and the International Community is now on a better position to end the conflict in Sudan between the south and north.

According to the united Sates’ code, section 2656F(d) the term terrorism referred to “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatants targeted by sub national or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience”

The above international definition of terrorism, declared SPLA/SPLM to be one of the terrorists organization operating in south Sudan, which is not only destabilizing Sudan alone, but the region as whole. The declaration of war on terrorism means it is now the time for the international community and the USA in particular to fight and demolished SPLA/SPLM, which is one of the terrorists movement in Africa. However, the hope of the people of south Sudan became just a big nightmare, because the USA and International Community at large neglected to fight this Terrorists Movement, the SPLA/SPLM, under leadership of Dr, John Garang, who on another hand is a best friend of the USA.

The SPLA/SPLM took up guns in 1983 against the Khartoum regimes and since then, it has become one of the pre-emanate terrorists movement in the south Sudan, murdered millions of people and violated human rights in the Country. According to the Human Rights Watch/Africa report of June 1994, title “Civil Devastation: Abuses by all parties in the War in Southern Sudan” this report indirectly accused SPLA/SPLM to be guilty of terrorism, and it proven SPLA/SPLM to have committed great atrocities against the people it claims to be fighting to liberate from the Khartoum Regime. Yet, the International committed ignored to take into considerations this report, and continues to support and sponsor SPLA/SPLM in its terrorisms operations in south Sudan.

The SPLA/SPLM brutally targets of non-combatants are as direct murdered of civilians such as that in Ganyiel, Panyajor, Paiyoi, and Pagau etc. Rapping of women and girls, adoption of women and girls as wives, adoption of both women and men as salves, looting of both civilians and the International relief agencies as well local NGO’s properties. Indiscriminative attacks on civilian populated towns under Government control, shooting down of civilian airlines, Brutal beatings, tortures and arbitrary detention of civilians and political prisoners and well prisoners of war in bad conditions and many other lists of evil deeds of terrorism.

SPLA/SPLM has not only terrorised people in Sudan, but it became an international terrorists movement, which has also terrorised the neighbouring Countries like Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central Africa Republic and the Northern Uganda. For example, SPLA/SPLM troops in one day, murdered more then 500 Ethiopian civilians in lower Omo Valley of the southwest Ethiopia after the fall of Maguistu’s regime.

The war crimes the SPLA/SPLM committed during her two decades bush struggle are not hidden in the face of the International Community. But because the International Community are reluctant and are blinded by politics of hatred to Arabs and Muslims across the world, thus made the International Community and in particular the USA and Britain to be so critical and to blame Khartoum Government to be responsible for any crimes in south Sudan, during the south-north conflicts. In fact, the International community has forgotten that, the Movement they are supporting and sponsoring to fight the Khartoum regime, is a terrorists movement that is responsible for 75% of the atrocities and crimes committed against humanity in the South.

In substantiations, it is not now the Khartoum regime holding people in servitudes in south; or, it is not the Arabs occupying the Equatoria states and particular Moruland to date. It is not Arabs or Muslims or Khartoum regime now unlawfully detaining, torturing, rapping, looting and murdering people in equatorial or upper Nile, but it is now the SPLA/SPLM and the Dinka-tribes committing all these atrocities and crimes against humanity in the south. Furthermore, it is not now the Arabs, Muslims or the Khartoum regime failing to develop south, and mismanaging the wealthy and resources in the south but it is the SPLA/SPLM and the Dinka Elites.

SPLA/SPLM leader Dr. John Garang and some senior commanders like Kuol Manyang, James Wani Igga and the so called current leaders of the Government of South Sudan, like those of Kiir and Riek, are pre-emanate war criminals and people who have committed great atrocities against humanity in the south Sudan. In fact, SPLA/SPLM as institution has been total against the peace in Sudan, and it has demonstrated strong desires for destruction, torture and murdering of the people as well stealing of the Country’s wealth/resources for their personal benefits. SPLA/SPLM has no National Political objectives and vision for the South and Sudan at large and these are the sign of terrorists organizations.

As matter of facts, the Khartoum regime several times offered SPLA/SPLM ceasefire and request them to get into peace talks, but SPLA/SPLM refused these offers. As results Khartoum regime has to complain and request the International Community to argue SPLA/SPLM to seek for peacefully resolutions of the conflicts, than to continue with war, which is too costive for the Country’s development.

It became so clearly to many southerners and Sudanese at large, including the International Community that, SPLA/SPLM has no National Political objectives, vision, and goals and not interested in peace, when the Khartoum Peace Agreement (KPA) was signed in 1997. In according to the KPA, the Khartoum Government offered a free and fair, an international monitored referendum in which the southerners can for the first time in history, choose to remain united with north or be independent.

However, SPLA/SPLM doesn’t accept and recognized this offer, rather: it continuing to fight and prolong the war, with aims of destroying out completely all other non-Dinka tribes in the south Sudan.

It is really very difficulty to understand the real motive of the SPLA/SPLM by then, than simple that of destroying other non-Dinka tribes in the south. Because even as of now, SPLA/SPLM is party of the Khartoum regime, which is the Government of National Unity; but it has gone back to bush again to fight the Khartoum regime, by joining up forces with the other criminal rebel groups in Darfur region. Instead of playing active roles in bring Peace in Darfur through peaceful negotiations, as party of the Government of National Unity in Khartoum. In fact, this act of SPLA/SPLM joining forces with other rebel groups to fight is total violation of 2005 CPA and therefore, SSLF/UAFLSS strongly urges the International community and all southerners to condemn SPLA/SPLM over this move.

The Conflict in western Sudan’s region of Darfur is a conflict the entire World continues with its loud outcry that, genocide is going on - in Darfur; the National Congress has been blamed for doing less and to be responsible for the war crimes and genocide in Darfur. While forgetting that, SPLA/SPLM and the regime in Juba, is the most neglected terrorists regime which as of now, is facilitating, sponsoring and supporting the violence and genocide in Darfur. Yet, the same International Community, which is crying Genocide exists in Darfur, continues to channel their supports through SPLA/SPLM for committing more genocide and atrocities in that region.

Of course, SSLF/UAFLSS has acknowledged that, genocide exists in Darfur and this is based on our understanding of the International Community’s definition of the term genocide, and our knowledge of what is happening on the ground. However, the International Community and in particular Countries like USA and Britain which is in strong and good position to fight terrorisms and stop genocide in Darfur and Sudan at large. Became major supporters and sponsors of the terrorists and terrorisms in Sudan by turning their military, political and financial supports to the SPLA/SPLM and her sister terrorists rebel organizations in Darfur.

The USA’s declarations of War on terrorism, doses not carry any meaning than declaration of war against Muslims and opponent of USA International and National policies. According to the confidential sources, in the recently visits of the USA’s President George W. Bush in Africa. He held meetings with the Rwandan’s top Government officials, including the Chief of Rwandan’s Armed Forces and other Army Generals in Hotel Mille Collines; Where he also held separate secret meetings with other rebel leaders from Darfur and other Countries like Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad.

President Bush gave Millions of American Dollars for the supports of other rebel organizations in Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad. He also US$ 30 Millions to Rwandan Government for the formation of the newly Sudanese rebel organization from Darfur in Rwanda and this sum is to cover up for the trainings, logistics and etc, and as of now, the American Government is trying to use Kigali to destabilize the great lake region.

Washington clearly knows that, SPLA/SPLM has been involved in all forms of terrorisms and that; genocide is going on - in Darfur, and this genocide is committed by warring factions. Yet, it has avails continues militarily, political and financial supports to the SPLA/SPLM in south and other warring factions in Darfur. This has raise big question about USA’s war on terror, since it is the same USA that has and is neglecting other terrorists organizations in Sudan by continuously supporting as well sponsoring these terrorisms.

SSLF/UAFLSS is total against terrorisms and we are ready to demolish SPLA/SPLM and Juba regime, because it is a terrorists regime/organization and it deserves no existence at all. We therefore strongly condemns the Washington’s political, military and financial supports to SPLA/SPLM, because any supports Washington offers to SPLA/SPLM, it makes the war they declared on terrorism to be meaningless; on other hand, it proves Washington to be guilty of sponsoring and supporting terrorisms in Sudan.

In a conclusion, SSLF/UAFLSS strongly urges Washington and other countries supporting and sponsoring SPLA/SPLM, to completely withdraw their supports from SPLA/SPLM because the SPLA/SPLM’s regime in juba is a terrorist regime with an evil intentions of committing genocide on other non-Dinka tribes in Sudan, and destabilizations of the Peace of the people.

MYDA Supports AASG Over Dar Crisis

Mundri Youth Development Association-MYDA supports AASG over Dar Fur Crisis. AASG is American Anti Slavery Group which has being campaigning against the Sudan Khartoum Government acts of atrocities on her Non Arabs Citizens in the Western Dar for the last few months.

The two pages letter written in the support of AASG reads that, the bloody thirsted government of Sudan has being committing atrocities and genocides against her own Non Arab African origins for the last two decades in the south, Nuba Mountains and now in the Dar Fur. It has been and is using chemical Weapons (Syria Made) on her Non Arab Nationals and this act indeed reflects our government’s ideology to killing all the marginalized tribes in the country.

However, in all these decades, UN Security council in the HOUSE has been folding up his Hands to seeing genocides being committed on the innocent Souls in other part of the world like Sudan. This silence of UN Security council to take any appropriated measurement to stopping the genocide in Sudan since the Government launched her terrorism against Christians and animist in the south, Nuba mountains and now in Dar Fur, to us as South Sudanese youths, it demonstrated the UN security Council lack of Political will and interests to save us from this Animal that feeds only on the blood and flesh of mankind.

The letter continued that, We youth of South Sudan under the umbrella of MYDA have no doubt to say that the conflict in the Sudan is all against Human blood and flesh or against the existence of Non Arab African tribes. Therefore, we the Southern Sudanese Youth are very pleased of your services, and heeding to the call for stopping Slavery and genocide in Sudan. For we too are committed to this very call and will never be silence till genocide does no longer exist not only in Dar Fur, but entire Sudan, Africa and in every global village.

The letter appreciated the services of AASG and argues its president Dr. Jacob to continue with the spirit, the South Sudanese youths are behind Him and will be behind Him to the end of this journey. It also brief the President about the petition MYDA wrote to the UN Security council regarding the genocide in Sudan and promised to write it again if UN Security council don’t understand this one, and will continue to write to UN Security council till they either take action or their Offices are filled up by our petitions.

MYDA Wrote Patition to UN Security Council Against Sudan Government

Mundri Youth Development Association-MYDA made a petition to the United Nations Security Council against the Sudanese Khartoum Government over the Conflict in the Sudan’s Western Region of Dar Fur.

The two pages petition was addressed to the president of the UN Security Council to take appropriate measurement against the Sudan Government for committing genocides by use of Chemical Weapons (Syria Made) on the Non Arab Sudanese Organ for the last two decades. And therefore calls upon the UN Security Council to take appropriated measures to save millions of lives before it is too late.

“For Sudan Islamic Khartoum Government has been and is using Chemical Weapons and this act indeed reflects this government’s intentions to destroying all the marginalized tribes in the country; and we do not find any reason as why UN Security council could fold up his Hand to watching genocides being committed on the innocent Souls in other part of the world like Sudan” (the Petition reads).

The petition was written out with good faith because the silence of the UN to act urgently to stopping the genocide from occurring further in Sudan, only demonstrates United Nations (UN)’s lack of political will and interests to save the lives of Black African Origins in Sudan from this bloody thirsted Government in the Sudan.

Indeed, Millions of souls in the Sudan would be saved but because UN Security Council seems to lack political will and interests to pass strong resolutions on Sudan Government, Millions are murdered, are dying each day like flies. It is not their will to be killed and to die but because the UN Security Council just never mind to saving their souls.

Therefore, since UN Security Council exists for this cause, we do not find any factors hindering the UN Security Council to fail to bring the international Communities and the International leaders together in Unity of Consciences, and to save millions of lives here in the Sudan’s region of Dar Fur.

The petition further reads that, the Conflict in the Sudan is the test of the UN strengths by those who survives on other people’s Blood and flesh, and if UN failed to act now, not only that the Non Arab Populations in the Sudan will be finished but actual this very genocide will have its leg and travail from Country to Country till all Non Arab Black African origins are no longer existing on the Universe so as to make history that, Long time Ago, there were some black people living in Africa……… the petition was signed by the John Sunday Martin, the Focal Point Chairman of Mundri Youth Development Association-MYDA

“IT IS CAUSE TO BE REFUGEE AND IDP”

As TakingITglobal this month of August focusing on the refugees, I wonder whether what to say because to be as refugee or IDP is as being in hell pf problems and actual is just as if one is caused by God.

This paper is my analysis of Human Rights situation of the refugees and IDPs and it is not an imagination of reality of the problems through my experience as being a refugee as well as IDP in Africa. The paper attempts to present the broader issues of Human Rights Violation of Rfugees/IDPs in conflicting Areas such as Sudan and the Northern Uganda and the question of the effectively implementation of UN convention of 1951 on Refugees.

Before any attempts I could made to this paper, I Just feel to Express what UN have defined the Term Refugees and IDPs during the UN 1951 Convention on Refugee. They Defined Refugees as any person fleeing due to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for the reasons of faith, race, religion, nationality, memberships of particular social group or political opinion and that must be outside the country of his/her nationality. Further more, such a person owning to such a fear of persecutions is unwillingly to avail himself/herself of protection of his/her Country and finally, owing to such fear is unwillingly to return to it. Such a person UN said has fulfilled the criteria, qualified to be Refugee. While, IDPs are people who have been displaced from their homes because of maybe natural or man-made disaster and seeks refugee within their own Country.


CAUSES OF REGUGEES AND IDPs
In 1987 when we were in Yeri, a town in Mundri Counties in South Sudan, it was in the early morning when the South Sudan Main rebel the Sudan People Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M) attacked Yeri Police Post and we hard to run into bush to hid ourselves. This was my first time to experience such incident because we hard to spent Night in the Bush without any thing to sleep on and even without food for complete one day and some hours. As we were hiding the bush, the rebel hard already capture the town and have done all that they could wish to do such as Killing the innocents, raping women and girls, looting properties, burning Houses and adopting people and they have gone. All these atrocities have been done within three hours time. When we came back home from the bush, we found nothing, and our lives seems to be in danger so this made us to took refugee in Mundri. These same incidents happened to us in Mundri, Amadi and Maridi within short period of time.

In 1989 we have been again displaced from Maridi where by we took refugee in Kaya. Kaya is quite a small town in Sudan, boarded Uganda and DR Congo and not longer, in 1993 Sudan Khartoum Government launched massive attack on us in the Displaced Camps and they were using air and ground to attack us so our lives is certain because we don’t know whether we gonna survive or not. To make live worse, the SPLA also lunched massive attack on the Civilian residing with them and they have been forcible conscripting people into rebel, they have being torturing Civilians, Killing Civilians and we remained in the wonder world of Confusions and suffering between the warring functions. There was no safe heaven to us and because of these threats of life that we faced and have been facing; we have to take refugee in Uganda on 5 August 1993. (We were about 20,000 in Number).

Indeed, the cause of refugees and IDPs are mostly on common ground and these are life threats by either the Government or rebels. These life threads could be on the bases of sex, race, and political opinion and for the case of Sudan, mostly war, faith and civil strife.

Therefore, something worse causes refugees and IDPs and these Worse things maybe threats to their life and thus made them to leave their comfort zone and become Refugees local or international. Thus means that any person claims to seek for refugee’s asylum, there is really need to consider his/her case on the base of the refugees and IDPs criteria.

It was not my own will to be first as IDP and then Refugee in Uganda,but because some thing worse has been threatening my life, I have to go where I Though I will real find safety and dignity.

Even though in 2000 I have repatriated myself voluntary back to Sudan for the sake of saving my fellow youths who are suffering as hard been before, I repatriated myself because I love to be with them, to advocate for their rights, to mobilize and empower them so as they could know their rights and overcome some of the crucial life issues they are facing in this Civil war in Sudan. (Currently, in Sudan I am IDP because I am staying the IDPs Camps in Kotobi and at the same time as Refugee because all my family stays in Uganda and I have been offered Refugee’s Asylum in Uganda by Ugandan Government).


RIGHTS OF THE REFUGEES AND IDPs
Whether you are a refugee or IDP or none of the two groups, Human Rights if for all Human Being living on the earth. That is because all State members of UN have adopted the fundamentalisms of the Human Rights although most does not put on to action the practicum of Human rights on their Citizens. The UDHR article 18 said that, “Every one has the Right to Freedom of Though, conscience and Religion” and Article 20 said that “Everyone has the Rights to the freedom of peaceful assemble and association” the UDHR constitution recognized that all Human being are accorded fully and equal dignity of person and that all human being are equal before and under the law in the sphere of politics, economics, social and cultural life; these it upholds itself on the rights of individuals to life, to liberty, to security, marriage, to work, to education, to decent standard of living, justices, ownership of property, freedom of movement and etc.

The UDHR is guaranteed to all human being with the soul, spirit and body irrespectively of the life status or personalities. Although I stated that Human Rights is for all, but there are some specific Law that is made to the protections of their rights and dignity and these laws are three folded. The UN 1951 Convention Article 13-33 set minimum Law to govern the minimum standards of the rights of the Refugees and these laws includes the Rights to Education, the Rights to the freedom of Movement, the Rights to the Humanitarian assistance, the Rights to the Acquiring the Identification Paper (Card), the rights to the acquiring the immovable Property, the Rights to the Intellectual property, the rights to the association with none Political and None Profit Making Organizations and trade union, the Rights to the access to the National Court, the Rights to the wage Earning employments, the rights to the self- employment.

The 1951 UN Convention continued to say that, No refugee shall be expelled or repatriated in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of the territories where his/her life or freedom would have been in danger on the bases of his/her Human rights. This article could be and is well enforced by the UDHR article 5.

The Constitution also said that, in the conflicting areas, Refugees have fundamentality of Rights to the physical security and they are not objected to any military operations or target for military operations.

This it applies the IDPs that they are governed by the Constitutions of the own Government and will remain under the responsibilities of their own government.



VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS OF REFUGEES AND IDPs

Based on the experiences, there are two major source of the violation of the Refugees and IDPs rights and these are from the Civil Authorities working with the Relief, Humanitarian Agencies and the Government army as well as rebel.

The acts of both the Sudan Government and the South Sudan main rebel group the SPLA (See the Cause of Refugees and IPDs) it is an act of Human rights Violation of the Rights of IDPs and in most case what I have seen is that the IDPs insecurity cases or issues are not taken seriously by both the government of their Country or even by the International Communities.

Refugees and IPDs are some times camped in dry areas where there is not water such as in Yoya, the Sudanese Refugees Camp in Ikaff-west Nile Region of Uganda. There was no water in that land and we have to wake up at doom to go to fetch water at a distance of six kilometers away from the camp moreover even the sources of the water is not suitable Human being uses, While other camps are located in the sweep areas.

The 1996 LRA attack on the Sudanese Refugees Camps of Acolppi and agogo and massacre 107 Sudanese refugees- (see the New Vision, July 16th 1996). Some of the Violation of the refugees and IDPs are directly as the result of the polices of the UNHCR that Refugees must restrict live only within Refugees Camp and this was Against the UN 1951 article 27 that Refugee rights of freedom of movement and refugees rights to chose where to stay and opportunities to make fresh start of life.. In that same July 1996 the UNFR 11 attached our Camp in Yoyo and all the UNHCR Staffs and other Humanitarian agencies such as Oxfam has to evacuate the Base camp to Town for the Fear of being attached by the UNRF 11. They lift us in the camp to be murdered by the Rebels. So when rebels continuously attacking the camps, we hard to evacuate the camps and fellow the UNHCR and Humanitarian Agencies are Based in Yumbe Town, but the UNCHR issued other that no food shall be distributed to refugees in town unless in the camps moreover there in Yumbe we are staying outside under the trees and it has been raining on us. Of cause since most of us dying because of Hunger, we became into two groups, they those who decided to voluntary repatriated themselves back to Sudan, and other decided to go back to the camps so as to be killed by the Rebels.

In Uganda, refugees are not titled to Identifications Paper any howl and it is only at time students been and will be issued with an identification documents. In 1996, some refugees have been forceful repatriated back to Sudan and this was either the collaboration of the SPLA or the Sudan Government. These are not only the atrocities but the worse of when Sudanese Refugees has been recruited into army by the Uganda Government through the collaboration of the SPLA in 1995 whereby they are based and trained at Gulu in northern Uganda with the aim of fighting the LRA.

It is against all what that I have experienced as Refugee and IDP, I have to only say that it is cause to be refugees or IDPs because this is the status of life time whereby you may have no obligations and your Rights are always abused indirectly or directly by the government, Civil authorities and Humanitarian Agencies including the UNHCR.
