Dear Brair In a post last month, I participated with my friends Abu Sandra and Bashir al-Badawi over the best strategy to guarantee the unity of our country. My sggestion was the formation of a broad-based alliance by all secular forces. I included in this alliance, forces such as the SPLM, DUP, SCP, Hag, the Pan-Arabist forces, such as Baathists and Nasserites, and other secular unorganized forces in the trade unions etc. I saw this necessary to save the unity of the Sudan, because the triumph of the theocratic forces in the Sudan, such as the NIF (two factions), the Umma Party and the Ansar al-Sunna, and possibly JEM, and other religious groups, is a sure way for disintergration of the country. If these latter forces prevail in a fair democratic elections, Southerners, including me, will opt for separation. South has made it clear it cannot live under a theocratic system based on Islam or any other religion. This is, in my view, not a rejection to democratic option, but the issue involved is about the future of Sudan, and cannot be decided by the majority vote only. The secular democratic forces, whether Muslims or Christians, are required to reject any theocratic system of government for the country, openly and crageously. These forces should be able to explain to the Sudanese people that they are not banishing religion from the Sudan, but by rejecting mixing religion with politics, they are giving religion, its rightful place as a code of values and rules governing the relationship between individual and his God. It should also be made clear to the Sudanese public that the only political choice that can guarantee the unity of the Sudan is a secular democratic Sudan.
