| [Iran Press TV] Four Sudanese opposition groups have formed a military alliance in an attempt to topple the Sudanese President Omer al-Bashir. The military alliance called the Sudan Revolutionary Front consists of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North, Justice and Equality Movement, Sudan Liberation Army-Abdel Wahid and Sudan Liberation Army-Minni Minnawi. The Sudan Revolutionary Front is an extension to Kauda agreement, which was signed in Kauda town in South Kurdufan on the 7th of August 2011 between Darfur rebel movements and Sudan People's Liberation Movement -North Sector to overthrow the Sudanese government. Sudan is accusing the Sudan People's Liberation Movement of the State of South Sudan of sponsoring and supporting the recent alliance. The Sudanese government reacted strongly to the Sudan Revolutionary Front by calling it a hostile act. The spokesperson for the Sudanese foreign ministry said that Sudan is still approaching peace and equality in which all the political parties can share seats in the government. He added, that on the other hand, the Sudan Revolutionary Front is causing more bloodshed leading Sudan to defend and protect its' citizens. Political analysts also say that this front is very weak, because the dominant parties are not part of it. Sudan renewed its' call on the South Sudan to stop supporting what it calls rebel movements and to resolve its internal issues. It also urged for establishing good relations between the two countries instead of undermining security and stability in Sudan. Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement which was signed in 2005 ended the civil war between Sudan and South Sudan, which led to a new born country in Africa after a fair self-determination referendum. The formation of the alliance is causing concern for many in Sudan that all these developments may lead Sudan to a new widespread-armed movement. |
