After the September the 11th, 2001; horrific atrocity committed in United States of America by the Al Quaida Network, masterminded by Bin Laden; the President of United States of America, Mr. George W. Bush declared war on terror. His statement to the Congress and the people of USA on September the 20th, 2001 that,” the war on terrorism is not only targeted at the Islamic fundamentalisms but all forms of terrorism,” the statement of Bush to another externs clearly means that, terrorism is not only associated with Muslims but also with Christian fundamentalisms and the atheist conservatives. To the people of South Sudan, the declaration of war on terrorism, means the USA and the International Community is now on a better position to end the conflict in Sudan between the south and north.

According to the united Sates’ code, section 2656F(d) the term terrorism referred to “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatants targeted by sub national or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience”

The above international definition of terrorism, declared SPLA/SPLM to be one of the terrorists organization operating in south Sudan, which is not only destabilizing Sudan alone, but the region as whole. The declaration of war on terrorism means it is now the time for the international community and the USA in particular to fight and demolished SPLA/SPLM, which is one of the terrorists movement in Africa. However, the hope of the people of south Sudan became just a big nightmare, because the USA and International Community at large neglected to fight this Terrorists Movement, the SPLA/SPLM, under leadership of Dr, John Garang, who on another hand is a best friend of the USA.

The SPLA/SPLM took up guns in 1983 against the Khartoum regimes and since then, it has become one of the pre-emanate terrorists movement in the south Sudan, murdered millions of people and violated human rights in the Country. According to the Human Rights Watch/Africa report of June 1994, title “Civil Devastation: Abuses by all parties in the War in Southern Sudan” this report indirectly accused SPLA/SPLM to be guilty of terrorism, and it proven SPLA/SPLM to have committed great atrocities against the people it claims to be fighting to liberate from the Khartoum Regime. Yet, the International committed ignored to take into considerations this report, and continues to support and sponsor SPLA/SPLM in its terrorisms operations in south Sudan.

The SPLA/SPLM brutally targets of non-combatants are as direct murdered of civilians such as that in Ganyiel, Panyajor, Paiyoi, and Pagau etc. Rapping of women and girls, adoption of women and girls as wives, adoption of both women and men as salves, looting of both civilians and the International relief agencies as well local NGO’s properties. Indiscriminative attacks on civilian populated towns under Government control, shooting down of civilian airlines, Brutal beatings, tortures and arbitrary detention of civilians and political prisoners and well prisoners of war in bad conditions and many other lists of evil deeds of terrorism.

SPLA/SPLM has not only terrorised people in Sudan, but it became an international terrorists movement, which has also terrorised the neighbouring Countries like Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central Africa Republic and the Northern Uganda. For example, SPLA/SPLM troops in one day, murdered more then 500 Ethiopian civilians in lower Omo Valley of the southwest Ethiopia after the fall of Maguistu’s regime.

The war crimes the SPLA/SPLM committed during her two decades bush struggle are not hidden in the face of the International Community. But because the International Community are reluctant and are blinded by politics of hatred to Arabs and Muslims across the world, thus made the International Community and in particular the USA and Britain to be so critical and to blame Khartoum Government to be responsible for any crimes in south Sudan, during the south-north conflicts. In fact, the International community has forgotten that, the Movement they are supporting and sponsoring to fight the Khartoum regime, is a terrorists movement that is responsible for 75% of the atrocities and crimes committed against humanity in the South.

In substantiations, it is not now the Khartoum regime holding people in servitudes in south; or, it is not the Arabs occupying the Equatoria states and particular Moruland to date. It is not Arabs or Muslims or Khartoum regime now unlawfully detaining, torturing, rapping, looting and murdering people in equatorial or upper Nile, but it is now the SPLA/SPLM and the Dinka-tribes committing all these atrocities and crimes against humanity in the south. Furthermore, it is not now the Arabs, Muslims or the Khartoum regime failing to develop south, and mismanaging the wealthy and resources in the south but it is the SPLA/SPLM and the Dinka Elites.

SPLA/SPLM leader Dr. John Garang and some senior commanders like Kuol Manyang, James Wani Igga and the so called current leaders of the Government of South Sudan, like those of Kiir and Riek, are pre-emanate war criminals and people who have committed great atrocities against humanity in the south Sudan. In fact, SPLA/SPLM as institution has been total against the peace in Sudan, and it has demonstrated strong desires for destruction, torture and murdering of the people as well stealing of the Country’s wealth/resources for their personal benefits. SPLA/SPLM has no National Political objectives and vision for the South and Sudan at large and these are the sign of terrorists organizations.

As matter of facts, the Khartoum regime several times offered SPLA/SPLM ceasefire and request them to get into peace talks, but SPLA/SPLM refused these offers. As results Khartoum regime has to complain and request the International Community to argue SPLA/SPLM to seek for peacefully resolutions of the conflicts, than to continue with war, which is too costive for the Country’s development.

It became so clearly to many southerners and Sudanese at large, including the International Community that, SPLA/SPLM has no National Political objectives, vision, and goals and not interested in peace, when the Khartoum Peace Agreement (KPA) was signed in 1997. In according to the KPA, the Khartoum Government offered a free and fair, an international monitored referendum in which the southerners can for the first time in history, choose to remain united with north or be independent.

However, SPLA/SPLM doesn’t accept and recognized this offer, rather: it continuing to fight and prolong the war, with aims of destroying out completely all other non-Dinka tribes in the south Sudan.

It is really very difficulty to understand the real motive of the SPLA/SPLM by then, than simple that of destroying other non-Dinka tribes in the south. Because even as of now, SPLA/SPLM is party of the Khartoum regime, which is the Government of National Unity; but it has gone back to bush again to fight the Khartoum regime, by joining up forces with the other criminal rebel groups in Darfur region. Instead of playing active roles in bring Peace in Darfur through peaceful negotiations, as party of the Government of National Unity in Khartoum. In fact, this act of SPLA/SPLM joining forces with other rebel groups to fight is total violation of 2005 CPA and therefore, SSLF/UAFLSS strongly urges the International community and all southerners to condemn SPLA/SPLM over this move.

The Conflict in western Sudan’s region of Darfur is a conflict the entire World continues with its loud outcry that, genocide is going on - in Darfur; the National Congress has been blamed for doing less and to be responsible for the war crimes and genocide in Darfur. While forgetting that, SPLA/SPLM and the regime in Juba, is the most neglected terrorists regime which as of now, is facilitating, sponsoring and supporting the violence and genocide in Darfur. Yet, the same International Community, which is crying Genocide exists in Darfur, continues to channel their supports through SPLA/SPLM for committing more genocide and atrocities in that region.

Of course, SSLF/UAFLSS has acknowledged that, genocide exists in Darfur and this is based on our understanding of the International Community’s definition of the term genocide, and our knowledge of what is happening on the ground. However, the International Community and in particular Countries like USA and Britain which is in strong and good position to fight terrorisms and stop genocide in Darfur and Sudan at large. Became major supporters and sponsors of the terrorists and terrorisms in Sudan by turning their military, political and financial supports to the SPLA/SPLM and her sister terrorists rebel organizations in Darfur.

The USA’s declarations of War on terrorism, doses not carry any meaning than declaration of war against Muslims and opponent of USA International and National policies. According to the confidential sources, in the recently visits of the USA’s President George W. Bush in Africa. He held meetings with the Rwandan’s top Government officials, including the Chief of Rwandan’s Armed Forces and other Army Generals in Hotel Mille Collines; Where he also held separate secret meetings with other rebel leaders from Darfur and other Countries like Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad.

President Bush gave Millions of American Dollars for the supports of other rebel organizations in Democratic Republic of Congo and Chad. He also US$ 30 Millions to Rwandan Government for the formation of the newly Sudanese rebel organization from Darfur in Rwanda and this sum is to cover up for the trainings, logistics and etc, and as of now, the American Government is trying to use Kigali to destabilize the great lake region.

Washington clearly knows that, SPLA/SPLM has been involved in all forms of terrorisms and that; genocide is going on - in Darfur, and this genocide is committed by warring factions. Yet, it has avails continues militarily, political and financial supports to the SPLA/SPLM in south and other warring factions in Darfur. This has raise big question about USA’s war on terror, since it is the same USA that has and is neglecting other terrorists organizations in Sudan by continuously supporting as well sponsoring these terrorisms.

SSLF/UAFLSS is total against terrorisms and we are ready to demolish SPLA/SPLM and Juba regime, because it is a terrorists regime/organization and it deserves no existence at all. We therefore strongly condemns the Washington’s political, military and financial supports to SPLA/SPLM, because any supports Washington offers to SPLA/SPLM, it makes the war they declared on terrorism to be meaningless; on other hand, it proves Washington to be guilty of sponsoring and supporting terrorisms in Sudan.

In a conclusion, SSLF/UAFLSS strongly urges Washington and other countries supporting and sponsoring SPLA/SPLM, to completely withdraw their supports from SPLA/SPLM because the SPLA/SPLM’s regime in juba is a terrorist regime with an evil intentions of committing genocide on other non-Dinka tribes in Sudan, and destabilizations of the Peace of the people.
