By: Ahmed Alhaj (Site Admin)


 


 


 


Khartoum, (Sudanow)- The National Assembly:


Based on its authority in accordance with the provisions of Article 91 (3) (f) of the Interim Constitution of the Republic of Sudan for 2005, and in pursuant to the provisions of Article 51 of the Regulation of the National Assembly for 2010; and after looking at the facts of the hearing session titled “Africa’s Newest Nation: The Republic of South Sudan”, organized by the U.S. House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights on the 16th of June 2011.


 


-         Recognizing that the mentioned group, which is hostile to Sudan, is a small group but a reference on Sudanese matters and influential in the decisions taken against it; and which its influence increases in absence of any other group that stands against it and deals objectively with Sudan’s matters.


-        Knowing that this group is associated with some elements in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) who feed it with information and analysis and suggest for it to adopt extreme stances against Sudan.


-        Affirming that the call by some in the hearing session, which was called for by the U.S Office Subcommittee, to abduct the President’s plane en route to China or during his roaming in any country, is considered instigation for a high jacking crime and lays down a precedent that contradicts with the principles of the international law and can blow up the security and stability in the entire region.


-        Affirming that the U.S Congress has intentionally sent wrong messages to the Darfur movements during their negotiations with the government to keep on their obstinacy to block the way before any forthcoming settlement with the government in Abuja and Doha, crippling thus all the serious efforts which the Sudanese government has kept on exerting to achieve peace in Darfur besides its threats to impose strict sanctions on Sudan if the negotiations failed.


-        Realizing the objectives of such acts in expanding the means of political, economic and diplomatic pressures on the Sudan government under what the country is facing of challenges and what follows all these of irresponsible statements that instigate hatred against the Sudanese people and government and increase the size of the damage inflicted by those statements on the image of the country within the categories of the American community.


-        Drawing the attention to what is exercised by the well-known pressure groups of instigation of the international community to support a U.S military intervention in Sudan via fabrication of baseless accusations and instigation of the international media against it.


-        Reminding of the Sudan Peace Act which is in fact a declared war against the country, where it was endorsed by the U.S House of Representatives and the Senate, and of what that act has left of negative impact on the country’s economies and its external relations and on the investment and stability.


-        Reiterating its belief in the ability of the Sudanese people to confront such aggressive acts through intactness of their internal front and support of their historical leaderships who have crossed with them from hardships and challenges to peace and development.


-        Commending the political accomplishments that Sudan has achieved by signing the numerous peace agreements which were witnessed by the entire international community, conducting free and credible elections that have enhanced the country’s democratic development and progress together with conducting the south Sudan referendum and accepting its results.


-        Commending what the Sudan government has achieved of successes via adoption of the policy of political and economic openness in the past period and through the adoption of the policy of presidential, parliamentary and popular diplomacy to enhance the traditional diplomacy and abort all the foreign plots and projects which target the reputation of the country and work to cripple its progress and affect its decisions and options.


-        Stressing the importance of restoration of Sudan’s relations with neighbor Chad and Central Africa Republic through reactivating the good neighborliness policy, securing the borders and establishing joint forces to monitor and protect them.


-        Drawing the attention to the fact that the Darfur is has become a card used for electoral campaigns by some of the political parties there in America, a number of European countries and Israel.


-        Pointing to the fact that referring the Darfur issue to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant against Al-Bashir on bases of allegations of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide was meant to prompt chaos in the country and the region to pass agenda that has nothing to do with the people of Darfur, but to tear up the unity of Sudan and disturb its security and stability and that of its neighbors. 


-        Affirming that some international organizations hostile to Sudan such as “Save Darfur Alliance” are targeting Sudan, calls for condemning the impartial instrument of the Western media which aims to weaken Sudan through exhausting its resources and force in sideway battles so that it would not be a prominent country in the region qualified by its human capabilities, financial potentialities and unique geographical location.


-        Commending the remarkable role of Sudan’s external missions, urges them once again to exert further efforts to refute the claims and lies of some Western circles through reflecting the facts about the real conditions in the country as they are.


-        Pointing to and commending the State’s acceptance of the African-Arab initiative, which was supported by the United Nations and the international community, to resolve the Darfur issue, together with the historical signing by the President of the Republic and his peace partners on the Doha document to end the conflict in Darfur.


-        Recognizing the importance of the Abyei region as a model for interrelation and peaceful co-existence and the fact that the commitment of all the concerned parties to the implementation of the Abyei protocol and refraining from conflict escalation and use of violence is the right path to the resolution of the conflict.


-        Praising the efforts made by the Sudanese Armed Forces to protect the security and stability in South Kordofan and condemning the repeated attempts by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) to violate the agreements and drag the country to news wars.


-        Pointing to the serious endeavors for holding rounds of talks and negotiations with all the Sudanese political parties to agree on a permanent constitution for the country in particular and on the entire major issues and to form a broad-based government.
