ياسر عرمان الأمين العام للحركة الشعبية يصل الولايات المتحدة الأميركية ويقدم شهادته أمام الكونغرس الأميركي حول أوضاع حقوق الإنسان في السودان
وصل إلى نيويورك ياسر عرمان الامين العام للحركة الشعبية لتحرير السودان في يوم الثلاثاء 20 سبتمبر الجاري، للمشاركة في جزء من فعاليات المؤتمر العالمي لحقوق الإنسان الذي عقد على هامش إجتماعات الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة بدعوة من المنظمين. والذي شهد تقديم شهادات مؤثرة حول ما جري ويجري في تونس، مصر، إيران وسوريا وبلدان أخرى من العالم. وحول النضال الجماهيري الواسع الذي تخوضه القوى الشعبية والجماهيرية عبر الفقراء والمهمشين والنساء والشباب على نطاق العالم من أجل الكرامة الإنسانية وسيادة حكم القانون والسلام والطعام والمواطنة وحق الآخرين في أن يكونوا آخرين.
كما إلتقي عرمان في نيويورك بعدد من المنظمات والمهتمين بالشأن السوداني. وناقش معهم الإنتهاكات الواسعة لحقوق الإنسان في جنوب كردفان والنيل الأزرق ودارفور.
وقدم الأمين العام للحركة الشعبية شهادته أمام لجنة لانتوس لحقوق الإنسان بالكونغرس الأميركي يوم أمس الخميس 22 سبتمبر 2011م. والتي يرأسها بصورة مشتركة عضو الكونغرس الأميركي النافذ والشهير الجمهوري فرانك وولف؛ وهو صاحب إهتمامات معروفة بأوضاع السودان، إلى جوار رئيسها الآخر عضو الكونغرس ماك ماكفين- ديمقراطي.
وقد شهدت الجلسة شهادات مسؤولة شؤون اللاجئين في الأمم المتحدة، ثم قدمت شهادات أربعة من الناشطين ضمنهم الأمين العام للحركة الشعبية ياسر عرمان وعضو الكونغرس السابق أندرو وجيهان هنري من منظمة مراقبة حقوق الإنسان وعمر قمر من حركة كفاية المناهضة للإبادة الجماعية في دارفور.
وفي إفادة موثقة قدمها الأمين العام للحركة الشعبية حول الإنتهاكات الواسعة لحقوق الإنسان من قبل نظام الخرطوم، وإستهدافه للمدنيين ورفضه السماح بإيصال الطعام لأكثر من 300 ألف من النازحين، طالب عرمان بإنشاء لجنة دولية مستقلة للتحقيق في إنتهاكات حقوق الإنسان وبفرض حظر طيران جوي ضد حكومة الخرطوم، يمتد من النيل الأزرق إلى دارفور.
وأكد الأمين العام للحركة الشعبية إن الجمهورية الأولي للمؤتمر الوطني شهدت فصل الجنوب، والجمهورية الثانية دُشنت بحرب واسعة في جنوب الشمال الجديد.. وإن إستمرار النظام الحالي يعني مزيداً من الإنتهاكات لحقوق الإنسان. وفي النهاية سيؤدي إلى تمزيق شمال السودان.
وأردف بأن المشكلة الحقيقية ليست مشكلة جبال النوبة أو النيل الأزرق أو دارفور، وإنما المعضلة الحقيقية تكمن في سياسات الخرطوم التي شنت الحرب على الشرق والغرب والجنوب والشمال؛ ضد المسيحيين والمسلمين، والعرب وغير العرب. وقتلت النساء والأطفال، ولابد من تغيير وإعادة هيكلة النظام في الخرطوم.
وكشف عرمان لدى مخاطبته للجنة الكونغرس بأن المعارضة السودانية في سبيلها للتوحد لإسقاط النظام؛ وستجرى حوارات مكثفة بدأت بكاودا. وهناك تحالف فعلي الآن سيمتد ويأخذ شكله النهائي.
وشدد في إفاداته في الكونغرس- خارج النص المكتوب- في إجاباته على أسئلة أعضاء لجنة الكونغرس بأن المؤتمر الوطني لا يمثل شمال السودان، مناشداً الإدارة الأميركية بالتعامل مع حركات المقاومة السودانية والقوى السياسية المعارضة.. وإن الشعب السوداني أسقط نظامين عسكريين وسيسقط الثالث. وإن مصير الشعب السوداني الذي تشكل عبر القرون لا يمكن أن يُرهن لشخص مطلوب للعدالة الدولية؛ نظام شرد الآلاف من الضباط والجنود من الخدمة العسكرية؛ وشرد ودمر حياة الملايين من المزارعين والعمال، وأستهدف النساء.
وأكد عرمان بأن الشعب السوداني لا يريد دعم عسكري من الولايات المتحدة الأميركية لإسقاط النظام، بل يريد دعم سياسي ومعنوي، وهو قادر على إتمام المهمة.
وأشار عضو الكونغرس فرانك وولف إلى انه أجرى العديد من جلسات الإستماع حول السودان لكن هذه هي الجلسة الأهم التي حضرها، وولف مهتم بقضايا السودان طيلة العشرين سنة الماضية. وطالب وولف بإسقاط ورحيل نظام البشير كحل وحيد. كما طالب فرانك وولف المرشحين الجمهوريين لمنصب رئيس الولايات المتحدة ووسائل الإعلام للإهتمام بمعاناة الشعب السوداني.
وشدد عضو الكونغرس الديمقراطي مايكل كابيانو رئيس لجنة الكونغرس حول السودان على أهمية تغيير نظام الخرطوم أسوة بالشعوب الأخرى كمخرج وحيد.
وأكد عضو الكونغرس بيتس إن الإدارة الأميركية مطالبة بالتعامل الجاد مع السودان لوقف إنتهاكات حقوق الإنسان وإيصال الطعام للنازحين.
وشدد الأمين العام في إفاداته خارج النص المكتوب، بتجاوز نظام الخرطوم في إيصال الطعام للنازحين بتطبيق نموذج "شريان الحياة" الذي اخذ به في السودان سابقاً.
وقد وجدت جلسة الإستماع التي عقدتها لجنة الكونغرس الأميركي صدً واسعاً في واشنطن. ويلاحظ تزايد الإهتمام الأميركي وبروز تيار قوي ينادي بدعم القوى التي تطالب بتغيير النظام في الخرطوم، وعدم مكافأة نظام الخرطوم أو الحوار معه. والوقوف بحزم ضد إنتهاكات حقوق الإنسان وإرسال الطعام للمحتاجين.
وقد دفعت الإنتهاكات الواسعة لحقوق الإنسان والهجوم الذي شنه المؤتمر الوطني على النيل الأزرق وجنوب كردفان ومواصلة الحرب في دارفور على طرح أجندة تغيير النظام في واشنطن، والتي توقفت عند توقيع إتفاقية السلام الشامل.
وأصبحت الحركة الشعبية في شمال السودان تعلب دوراً رئيسياً ومتزايداً لما تحظي به من علاقات إقليمية ودولية، لتغيير نظام الخرطوم.
القائد ياسر عرمان يقدم مرافعه تاريخية في الكونقرس ويدعو لاسقاط البشير

Yasir Arman: Sudan Needs a New Paradigm To End its Conflicts
Brian Adeba
September 8, 2011
Hundreds of people have been displaced from Sudan’s Blue Nile State following fighting between government forces and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-North) in early September. The SPLM North claims it has captured two garrison towns in Blue Nile. The advent of hostilities in Blue Nile followed political unrest in the state of southern Kordofan a few months earlier. Blue Nile State and southern Kordofan had fought alongside South Sudan, which seceded in July 2011. Analysts had long warned about the possibility of conflict in both regions which straddle the border with South Sudan if disputes on political control are not resolved amicably between the government and the SPLM-North, the dominant party in both regions.
Brian Adeba spoke to Yasir Arman, the secretary general of the SPLM-North, about the conflict in Blue Nile and the prospects for a peaceful resolution.
Following the fighting in Blue Nile, the SPLM North has been accused of failing to redefine its objectives to appeal to a broad Sudanese spectrum, away from focusing on a narrow base in Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. How do you respond to this accusation?
Yasir Arman: Part of this accusation is genuine. The other part is just part of the campaign against the SPLM. The SPLM is not a new organization as you know. It is an organization that has worked in northern Sudan for a quarter of a century. For the last six years, I have been involved with the party in Khartoum and worked extensively with everybody. Our objective is clear. What we want now, after the situation in Blue Nile and southern Kordofan, is that the regime must change. The National Congress Party, if they don’t want this change to be effected by force, they have to spell a clear program of change and a new road map, a new paradigm shift. Sudan cannot be the same after all that happened in South Sudan. The National Congress Party is a party that is fighting everybody. It fought South Sudan, Darfur, Eastern Sudan, Blue Nile and the Nuba Mountains in southern Kordofan.
Now let us take a look at the rebellions taking place. Of course Darfur is still on fire, then there’s Blue Nile and southern Kordofan. Is there an initiative from your side, to forge a united front among the armed groups in these regions to confront the Khartoum regime?
Yasir Arman: We already started the process where we reached a memorandum of understanding with the Darfurian resistance movements. We already agreed on everything. We also agreed with the Justice and Equality Movement on the remaining issue and it is one issue, the issue of the state and religion, but I believe we will resolve it. More than that, this alliance has to extend to all democratic forces in the country so that we form an alliance that will restructure the centre and will build a new state based on equal rights of citizenship and will provide democracy and transformation and permanent peace and food to our people. That’s what we are aiming for.
As the fighting in Blue Nile escalates, I understand that the SPLM North will be going to Addis Ababa for talks being mediated by Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. What you can tell us about these upcoming talks?
Yasir Arman: Actually we are not going for talks. We are going for consultation. We have been invited by Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. May be other participants will attend, especially the envoy of the UN secretary general, President Thabo Mbeki and may be others from the international community. And we said we are ready to consult and listen to what exactly Prime Minister Zenawi will tell us. But what we want to say is that the situation now is different from the situation when we signed the framework agreement which was dishonoured by President Omar El Bashir. There is a new situation on the ground. The SPLM North has been banned by the government of the National Congress Party and we will listen to what Meles Zenawi will tell us.
What would it take for peace to reign in Blue Nile and southern Kordofan from your perspective as SPLM North?
Yasir Arman: From our perspective there is a need for change. There is a need to accept the will of the Sudanese people, and that is a very important. There is a need to admit that Sudan is not going to be the same and the country is not going to be run by the National Congress—as a one party system. There is a need for a real transformation, for a new road map.
What specifically would this new road map entail?
Yasir Arman: It will entail agreeing on democratic transformation, agreeing on restructuring the centre in Khartoum in the interest of different regions, in the interest of accepting diversity and equal citizenship. That we will have a new professional army, a professional police force, a professional public service and that Sudan will belong to all. Sudan now belongs only to the National Congress Party.
Have there been any one-on-one talks between leaders of the SPLM/N and members of the regime in Khartoum? I understand that Malik Agar called Vice President Ali Osman Muhammad Taha. Can you shed any light on that?
Yasir Arman: Malik was the governor and there were a lot of talks before the war but they [NCP] are trying to say is not correct, it is rubbish. They are trying to get themselves out of the responsibility that they are the ones who launched the attack in Blue Nile. What they are saying is implicating them more. Malik Agar as the governor, he played his role as a statesman. Up to the last moment, he was trying to avoid the confrontation. And they [NCP] went into this confrontation and they have to be held responsible for what they did.
If there’s one last word that you would want to say, what would that be?
Yasir Arman: What I would like to say is that we are very much concerned about the humanitarian suffering and that Khartoum is denying access to humanitarian operations and using food as a weapon. They [Khartoum] are preventing the displaced from moving to camps, they are using them as human shields. There is a need for strong pressure from the international community to have safe passages and access without let or hindrance to the needy people. And there is a need for a no-fly zone from Blue Nile to Darfur to protect the civilian populations.

SPLM-N denies getting support from South Sudan and members arrested
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Ngor Arol Garang
September 9, 2011 (JUBA) - The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N) secretary general Yasir Arman, categorically denied accusations by the Sudanese government that they are receiving support from the Government of South Sudan (GoSS).
Defaced SPLM-N secretary general, Yasir Arman poster, Khartoum - in 2010 he ran for president as an SPLM candidate, then boycotted the election (Reuters)The SPLM-N is an offshoot of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), which rules the newly independent state of South Sudan.
The movement is currently fighting Khartoum’s forces in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. The South Kordofan conflict began in early June while the one in Blue Nile broke out last week. The two sides traded blame on who fires the first shots.
Tensions have mounted in the two states and other territories along Sudan’s poorly-defined border with South Sudan since the south declared independence in July.
The territories are all still home to tens of thousands of people from ethnic groups that sided with the south during decades of civil war that led up to independence.
“The NCP [National Congress Party] propaganda that the Government of the Republic of South Sudan is behind what is going on in the two areas does not hold water. The NCP themselves were fighting in the two areas and have had problems in these areas for the last 22 years of their rule. In contrast, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan is just two months old. The NCP is clearly looking for a scapegoat to hang their defeats”, reads the statement signed by Arman.
Arman explained that Khartoum fought the people of Eastern Sudan, Darfur and the South Sudan long before the Republic of South Sudan was born and accused Sudan’s ruling party of creating the ongoing conflicts in the two states.
“The current conflict is a creation of the NCP in that they sowed the seed of the problem when they voluntarily destroyed the CPA; attempted to disarm the SPLA/N and rejected the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement. The SPLM/N and other resistance movements and democratic forces are determined to put an end the illusive NCP program of the second Islamic Republic, a Taliban Republic that is based on heavy human cost and loss, denial of diversity, ethnic cleansing, genocide and terrorism”, he adds.
He described the government’s plan to crush the SPLM-N as “wishful thinking" and an "impossible mission”. He claimed to have defeated government forces on Wednesday destroying a convoy on the outskirts of Damazin and capturing Khor Dahab, which the SAF forces used as a base for assembling and mobilizing forces to attack Gissan town which is one of the SPLM-N strongholds.
Arman said SAF launched attacks from the Eastern Part of Blue Nile in the two areas of Gissan-Menza, but they were repelled, resulting in the fall of Khor Dahab garrison.
He slammed the NCP for carrying out “arbitrary arrests” of it members across the country and the “closure of its offices and confiscation of vehicles and properties“, including West and South Darfur and offices and ones in Kassala.
The SPLM-N SG said the NCP’s security agencies have made 38 SPLM-N related arrests, including the following:
Mohammed Mahmoud Al Awad, the SPLM-N political secretary for the Northern state in the city of Dongolla
Hashim Musa, the finance secretary
Shams Eldin from the finance secretariat
Ibrahim Gasim, Mirghani Tiya and Maker Deng Kur, former SPLM-N members from South Sudan
Ustaz Arbab Mohamed Ibrahim, the SPLM-N candidate for the position of governor of Western Darfur
Saad Sandell, former State Legislative Assembly member
Abu Baker Yousif Zakaria, secretary of the SPLM-N for administration and organization
Daoud Arbab, secretary of finance
Samer Yousif, secretary of women affairs
Abu baker Haroun, chairperson of Eldain district, whose whereabouts remain unknown
Khalid Abdel Qawi, secretary general of the SPLM/N, his aged mother, wife and sister were also reportedly interrogated
Nazar Bushara, well known SPLM/N activist
The SPLM-N leadership said they have resolved to install former deposed Blue Nile governor Malik Agar as commander-in-chief of the movement while General Abdel Aziz Adam El Hilu, who is fighting in South Kordofan, as chief of staff.
Yesterday, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that “UN agencies and international humanitarian partners... have requested permission from the government to travel to Sennar [the neighbouring state] and to secure parts of northern Blue Nile state to assess the situation and assist in addressing humanitarian needs”.
"But they have so far been denied access to do so," it said, adding that, as in nearby South Kordofan, where a similar three-month-old conflict is still raging, the government has insisted that aid be provided through national partners such as the Sudanese Red Crescent.
The UN estimates that 60,000 people have been displaced by the conflict in South Kordofan and the Sudan Red Crescent Society estimates 35,000 in Blue Nile.
