I think the concept of these peace efforts by SPLM does not contradict or deny the wrong doings of the NCP. I would more likely think that it proves the continuing existence of marginalization as the NCP’s insincerity reaches all parts of Sudan. In addition, since the signing of CPA, SPLM has been redirecting and regenerating its activities to restore peace, hopes to the grassroots and commitment to resolve every single issue in every part of Sudan regardless of its difficulties.
Just as Mr. Sabit says; Freedom is not free. For people of Darfur, it is not a new approach. Periodic truces, cease-fires, and attempts to reach a negotiated settlement may have punctuated the troubled area of Darfur in the eyes of World Society. However, the SPLM looks deep into the matter and would create a different approach that may help the World and all the involved parties reach common ground if implemented. That common ground is the unity of Darfurians, and that they have accepted to coexist in Darfur so that they can also coexist with others in the long run. It is a primer sacrifice that they should pay.
As for your question, SPLM has not done any farther approaches other than uniting Darfurians. Since the SPLM is a part of GoNU, just like any other competitors in GoNU, their political plan that may resolve “this national problem”, is the unity of Darfurians. Political plans are always made to correct and indulge pacification. In this particular case, I think it has nothing to do with NCP dishonoring agreements because, I think SPLM could still continue with the plan even if we go back to war.
Riti, I have to admit that I am moved by the question itself.
Stay well।

Dear felloew Sudanese,
Late Dr. John said that “The Khartoum regime is deformed beyond reform” and we are not going to Join Khartoum government but we are going to form it and that all the government that came and go in Khartoum since 1956 has not horned any agreement.
Honorable Abel Alier, wrote “So many agreements is dishorned”
As we can all see, Comprehensive peace Agreement got stranded in the middle, Eastern Sudan agreement with national congress party NCP/NIF are not visible the same to the Darfur rebel factions.
To-day, NCP/NIF managed to forge their way and signed the CPA with SPLM. Officials are saying that, NCP/NIF were under pressure at the time, which forced them to sign that six year interim period to buy more time and develop new strategy to dilute the CPA, Eastern Sudan rebels and now Darfur rebls.
A Senior analyst and experts no Sudan has predicted that by saying NCP/NIF strategic team of well educated elites project these long-time ago because NCP/NIF are excellent at negotiating table, professional manipulators which turn every situation around on the agreements to their advantages. That is why NCP/NIF love signing any peaces of paper you present to them naming it agreement or contract is all okay for them to sign.
He added that “we will witness a fussy tone and surprise to see and hear what NCP/NIF is going to present to their partners to CPA SPLM on December 15, 2007”.
A strategists and senior official who choose not to be mentioned said that “if SPLM rejoin the NCP/NIF at the government of the national unity without NCP implementing the said demanded list by the SPLM, that will mark the end of the CPA implementation” .He concluded that NCP/NIF knows very well that after 2011 is over they will declare CPA expired, there by, there will be no schedule/calendar on SPLM side to drug feet on. The strategists conclude that NCP/NIF will then ask SPLM to official remain in the government of the national unity for one united Sudan . “He joked by saying that before that happens NCP/NIF is determine to pay a any amount of money to any SPLM official to keep the crisis down.
The real burning question left un- answered is:-
Why do SPLM, NCP and international community are forcing Darfur rebel Factions to go for negotiation and sign peace agreement with NCP/NIF, given historical factor that “NCP/NIF is going to dishonor any kind of agreement they sign”? Just curious, help me understand that?
Just and observation and thoughts
