According to a statement released, by Mubarak Gadim, a writer and
activist defending the cause of the Nuba people in South Kordofan, the
two historical members of the rebel group discussed "the SPLM-N’s
reunification, the need to stop the internal fighting in the Blue Nile
state, and the review of past experience as well as the conduct of
reconciliations with all the parties".
The statement further said "The meeting stressed the importance of
building the SPLM as a national movement for all Sudanese" and "not to
diminish the Movement to a regional group".
Jalab was very critical for Agar and al-Hilu and accused them of
mismanaging the group.
Recently, al-Hilu reintegrated a number of former leading members and
historical figures but Jalab was not among them.
Agar accused his former deputy turned the head of splinter faction in
the Nuba Mountains, Abdel Aziz al-Hilu of inciting against him the
Uduk, an ethnic group supporting self-determination.
The SPLM-N fighters loyal to Agar mainly from his tribe the Angsana,
clashed several times with the Uduk fighters led by Gen. Josef Tika in
the Blue Nile.
Unconfirmed reports from the Blue Nile state say Agar forces clashed
on 26 August with Tika fighters in Foz Albagar area.
