A Consolidated Comprehensive Vision

Framework of the Principles and Objectives of the Vision

a) One of the most important foundations of this vision is the fact that it highlights that attempting to solve the crisis of Darfur in isolation of the rest of the problems of the Sudan, though pressing the crisis of Darfur as it may be, will neither yield a comprehensive peace nor will it lead the nation to breaking the vicious cycle of recurrent civil wars to enjoy social peace allover the land.
b) Our vision is based on the principle that solving the problems of political marginalization and the equitable sharing of wealth and power in all marginalized parts of the country, especially Darfur, must be political, patriotic and objective and, must be based on serving the interests of the Sudanese people allover our beloved homeland. It must never be based on the hidden agenda of some of the leaderships.
c) This vision does not attempt to withstand or deny the principles of the CPA. It rather believes that the CPA must be transformed into a comprehensive agreement by pulling it out of dualism to pluralism to solve all lingering problems of the nation.
d) This vision is adamant that none of the nationalist organizations is to be excluded. This applies to all political parties, trade unions, civil society organizations, students’ associations and independent national figures. The masses should also be mobilized through media campaigns and rallies.
e) The vision is launched from the standpoint that the Sudan could not be ruled on sectarian, religious or ethnic lines. Cultural, religious, ethnic and linguistic differences must be looked at as positive components that must be recognized, developed and used as investment in strengthening national unity and the projection of the distinct Sudanese character.
f) The safety valve that ensures arrival of our nation to the shores of development and prosperity is the will of our people. Such a will must have at its vanguard a courageous faithful political leadership to implement all previous and future agreements and whip up the pace of democratic transformation. This could only be achieved through the rule of law; respect of all human rights statues; compliance with international community resolutions; and work along the principles of social justice and equality and participation of all sectors of society, including women, in the political and social arena and in the decision making process.
g) Real and sustainable peace could not achieved without fulfillment of the concept of interim justice through lifting of present injustices whereby rights of the dispossessed must be returned to them; perpetrators of crimes be prosecuted; and security and decent living conditions be provided for IDPs and refugees to return to their homelands before embarking on era of sustainable social justice. The only way to achieve all of this and to solve problems of the Sudan in such a way that make us look forward to a prosperous future is that everybody must join hands to turn these concepts a reality.
