By the inspirations guided by the vision of New Sudan the SPLM will continue to struggle, using all peaceful legitimate means to build a social system - based on a new political commitment to a comprehensive constitution full of rights, decentralized governance and political pluralism, respect for human rights and people as approved by the international conventions and open economic system that provides the appropriate environment for individuals and opportunities for self-fulfilment. This system will provide marginalised areas with the necessary tools to overcome the reality of unequal development and creates an environment conducive to healthy growth of the private sector. It must be stressed on human dignity and respect for the individual and the family which are basic pillars of the New Sudan where all individuals have the rights to liberty and security. The state is not more than a tool to achieve these goals.
We once again reiterate our sincere thanks to the representatives of political parties and communities and all women and men and youth who have openly declared their support and their absolute support for a candidate of SPLM. In this we are sure that the change to the freedom, democracy and human rights is coming inevitably and surely the peopel of Sudan will win the struggle.
