Politics of Resistance
Divisions have surfaced within the SPLM-N, the rebel movement in Blue Nile and South Kordofan. What does it mean for the future of the movement and its people?
Nuba Reports sat down for an interview with Abdel-Aziz Hilu, the popular deputy chairman and commander with the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), who offered his resignation in a letter last month. What are his major concerns? Are his calls for "self-determination" calls for independence? Does he fear the SPLM-N will split into two camps?

Rebel leadership will hold a June convention to address Hilu's concerns, according to SPLM-N Chairman Malik Agar.
“All issues that are raised are right,” Agar told Nuba Reports, responding to Hilu's grievances, “but not necessarily that every right is applicable –it depends on the circumstances on the ground."
The developments come during a four-month-long cessation of hostilities between SPLM-N and the Sudan government. In a recent resolution, SPLM-N declared an extension of the cessation of hostilities through June.
