March 26, 2017 (KHARTOUM) - The leaders of Sudan People’s Liberation
Movement - North (SPLM-N) arrived Saturday in South Kordofan for talks
with the political and military leadership members in a bid to contain
and resolve a crisis that hit the rebel group following the
resignation of the movement’s vice president Abdul Aziz al-Hilu.
Al-Hilu resigned recently from his position as deputy chairman to
protest the indifference of his demand to include the right of
self-determination in the SPLM-N position paper to the peace talks
mediated by the African Union.
Following the head of the Nuba Mountains liberation council, Adam Koko
Kodi, backed al-Hilu’s demand of self-determination and dissolved the
SPLM-N general secretariat and the negotiating team. The local
political organ has no competences on such matters but its decisions
are seen as a support to the deputy chairman and open the door for a
split in the group.
According to a statement extended to Sudan Tribune by the spokesperson
of the negotiating team Mubarak Ardol on Sunday, the movement’s
chairman Malik Agar, secretary general Yasir Arman and other
leadership council members arrived Saturday to the SPLM-N-held areas
in the Nuba Mountains.
Upon their arrival the leadership, which was received by the national
anthem played by the SPLA-N Orchestra, engaged in lengthy meetings
with the Chief of Staff Jacod Mekouar, his deputies and senior
officers, Governors of the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile Suleiman Jabbona
and Sediq al-Mansi respectively.
The visit "confirmed that the SPLM remains strong, solid, united and
able to challenge the regime of the National Congress Party, adheres
to the issues of change and the removal of genocide and war crimes
regime," said the statement.
Ardol pointed out that the delegation will continue its meetings with
the other SPLM-N bodies in the rebel held areas. However he didn’t
indicate when it would meet the South Kordofan Liberation Council
which announced its support to the deputy chairman Abel Aziz al-Hilu
and backed his demand for self determination.
