سلفا كير يناشد البشير عدم التوقيع على قانون الأمن الوطني, يهاجم ما حدث في المجلس الوطني!!

Quote: Sudan People's Liberation Movement Office of the Chairman Press Statement We have been following with great concern the development in the National Assembly regarding the passing of bills on National Intelligence and Security Service, Southern Sudan Referendum, Abyei Referendum and Popular Consultation for Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile States. On 20th of December, the National Assembly passed the controversial bill of National Intelligence and Security Service. In particular Sections 25, 50 and 51 of this bill have and continued to be our concern as they clearly contravene the provisions of CPA and our Interim National Constitution. We remain banking on the honest assumption of responsibility by the President of the Republic not to sign this bill into law until these constitutional issues are adequately addressed. Last week, I was in Khartoum and we managed to avert a political crisis by agreeing with President Field Marshal Omer Hassan El Bashir to inject a new spirit into our partnership during the remaining period of the CPA. With this new spirit we managed to pass unanimously in the National Council of Ministers the three bills that were initialed by our Minister of Legal Affairs and Constitutional Development and National Minister of Justice. Besides our agreement that these three bills would be passed by the National Assembly without any changes, we also agreed to take some administrative measures in the National Assembly to correct some irregularities that tended to undermine the spirit of the CPA. Yesterday, I learned and to my utter disbelief, that some major changes have been introduced in these bills, a development which forced the SPLM members in the National Assembly, together with members of other political parties including some members of NCP in the National Assembly, to walk out of the discussion of these distorted bills. In particular, we were yet stricken yesterday with another surprise in respect of the Southern Sudan Referendum Bill which has been purportedly passed by the National Assembly. It is inconceivable that the National Assembly can pass a bill in respect of Southern Sudan Referendum Law in the absence of Southern Sudanese themselves and without honouring the political agreement of the two parties. This is risky and exposes our country to greater political danger for not honouring agreements. What is happening in the National Assembly is a clear defiance of our joint political commitment to implement the most critical aspects of the CPA; particularly the Southern Sudan Referendum, Abyei Referendum and Popular Consultation for Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile States. We should not allow the spoilers of CPA to provoke us again and to derail us from our focus on ensuring peace and stability in our country. The members of the National Assembly were appointed in accordance with the provisions of the CPA and their primary focus should be to ensure the full implementation of the CPA. Although some of you will be celebrating Christmas with your families and friends, I ask again all the people of Southern Sudan, Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile and Abyei area, all members of the SPLM and all the peace loving people of Sudan to remain calm but to be on alert. The SPLM is committed to respect and abide by the agreed upon bills and will not accept any changes in these bills which are only to be passed by the National Assembly. I am confident that the leadership of NCP; particularly my Brother President Omer Hassan El Bashir and Vice President Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, will not allow such irresponsible conduct in the National Assembly to push us back to square one. We will be able to overcome again this crisis and, if necessary, we will extend the lifespan of the National Assembly or prorogue it until these bills are passed. The choice of our people is peace and full implementation of CPA and we shall not let them down. I wish You all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Juba, 23rd December 2009
