... أو عندما يفقد الأسد كلتا أُذنيه!!

Quote: Salamat Ya Eltayeb Quote: I apologize for writing in English. My Arabic keyboard is broken. Thank you so much for this rich article, both in language and content. I agree with you about the weaknesses of the Nivasha agreement and its impact on the future of democracy and unity and Sudan. You are correct the NCP lacks a fundamental believe in democracy and this is deeply rooted in their principles (if they ever have principles). The disbelieve in the masses (people) has always been in the core of their political agenda. And as you know the world has finally arrived to the conclusion that ideology (both religious and Secular) does not offer answers to the basic questions of freedom and liberty. Several years ago I wrote a critique to the so called New Sudan discourse. I emphasized the fact that the SPLA is not, but a military movement that raises a progressive slogans without having the human, political, and cultural infrastructures to implement them. It was all built around the character of its late leader Garang and when he passed away, it also did. You correctly mentioned the weakness of the NDA parties and their complete reliance on the SPLA and its military. This was a fatal mistake. They shouldn't have surrendered their real political arm (the civil opposition) which they have developed half a century ago. Now when they found themselves left behind, they are appealing to their constituencies. They should have done it longtime ago. I really enjoyed your poetic language and scientific analysis. Please continue the good work Babikir
