[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudanese Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and SPLM-N
| ... the Sudan People's Liberation Movement – North is a political party and militant organisation in the Republic of Sudan, based in the states of Blue Nile and South Kordofan. They are basically that part of the South Sudanese Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army that remained in Sudan following South Sudan’s independence in 2011. In 2017 it split into SPLM-N (Agar), led by Malik Agar, and SPLM-N (al-Hilu), the factions fighting each other as well as the Sudanese government... |
leader Abdel Aziz al-Hilu agreed that the gang will keep weapons until an agreement on the separation between religion and state. Hamdok and al-Hilu issued a joint statement on Thursday night from Addis Ababa where they held an unannounced meeting to discuss ways to overcome the deadlock in the peace talks brokered by the South Sudanese government.
At the end of the two-day meeting, they issued a statement saying they agreed on several principles including the respect of the right to self-determination for the Two Areas.
"A democratic state must be established in Sudan. For Sudan to become a democratic country where the rights of all citizens are enshrined, the constitution should be based on the principle of "separation of religion and state" in the absence of which the right to self-determination must be respected," said the parties.
In this bilateral document, Hamdok accepted that calls for self-determination must be "respected" but not guaranteed.
Following what the deal provides that the status quo, including the "self-protection", will continue until security arrangements are agreed and until "separation between religion and state" is actualized.
Also, they reaffirmed the principle of no-return to war saying they agreed to "maintain the cessation of hostilities throughout the grinding of the peace processor until the security arrangements are agreed upon".
Hereunder the text of the agreement which is signed in presence of the head of the World Food Programme David Beasley, a close friend to Hamdok and al-Hilu alike.
