رأي الزعيم الراحل الدكتور جون قرنق حول وحدة السودان.

Quote: Model 1 New Sudan A transformed, democratic Sudan that belongs to all its people. Sudan where the Religion and State are constitutionally separated, and where freedoms, liberty, equality, and human rights are granted and respected. A Sudan that is similar to the New South Africa. John Garang stressed that this is the ideal model the SPLM/A has been formed and been fighting to achieve since its foundation in 1983. He said that through negotiation with the current government it was clear that this model is not feasible, and so they are negotiating to achieve model 2. Confederation Garang stated that they have disagreed with the National Islamic Front (NIF) government on the separation of religion and state, and that the government is insisting that Sharia is the supreme law of the land. He said that the exception of the South from Sharia laws didn’t work in all the different settlements of the problem either in 1972, or in 1997 He said that because of this disagreement they started to negotiate a confederation of 2 states. A Northern state with “all the Sharia they want” and a democratic secular Southern state. He said that they negotiate the confederal arrangements and that at the end of a transitional period people will vote to either go back to Model 1, a New democratic Sudan, or to Model 5, two separate states. Model 3 Islamic Arabic Sudan This is the cause of the problem and is the current Sudan and can not continue to be like this. Model 4 Indigenous African secular Sudan Garang stated also that this is not an acceptable solution to the problem. Model 5 Two separate states.
