STOP THE NIF VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS !
BY: FATIMA AHMED IBRAHIM
APPEAL TO THE UN SECRETARY GENERAL:
To: H.E: The General Secretary Of The United Nations,
As your excellency is aware of the situation in Sudan, according to which, the Sudanese
government had been condemned by the UN General Assembly in December 1992, for violating
human rights in the Sudan. Also, in April 1997, the NIF/GOS regime was condemned by the UN
commission for Human Rights, for the same reasons as well.
In spite of all this international condemnation, the Sudanese government is still
continuing the same policy of violating human rights. The NIF government have never
stopped sending students and youth to the war zone, without sufficient training, and even
against their will and knowledge of their families. In addition, they have been used as a
shield in front of the army to invenit mines.
Last month, the Sudanese government decided to send the teachers and civil servants to
take part in the war. They have passed a resolution that those who refuse this order, will
be imprisoned for three years !
Thus, the Sudanese government is responsible for violating the peace agreement, which was
ready to be signed by all political parties, trade unions, representatives of the army and
police and the Sudanese Women Union, except the National Islamic Front Party (NIF), who
refused to sign that peace agreement and immediately, took power by a military coup in
Sudan in June 1989.
They started the war again under a new slogan " The Holy Islamic Jihad". That is
why the "International Criminal Court" in Rome, had accepted the case raised
against Omar El-Bashir, the Head of State and Hassan Al-Turabi, speaker of the National
Council in Sudan as criminals of war, by a group of Sudanese citizens in the United States
and our Sudanese Committee in London.
On top of all that, the government started to produce chemical weapons, and to support
terrorism locally and regionally. They committed a series of assassinations. The victims
of which were students and youth from the Ailafoon Camp, trade union figures, political
leaders. Furthermore, few days ago, they were involved in an assassination attempt to kill
the outstanding leader: John Garang, president of the Sudanese People Liberation Movement
and the member of the NDA leadership Council which represents the Sudanese opposition
organization.
It was proved that the Sudanese embassy in Nairobi is behind the attempt. As you know, the
Sudanese regime has previously made the same attempt to assassinate president: Husni
Mubarak, Egyptian president, in Addis Ababa. Recently, its involvement in the bomb
explosion of the American Embassies in Nairobi and Dar Al-Salam.
Beside all this, the Sudanese children and people are dying of hunger, disease, torture
and violations of their human rights.
For all the above mentioned crimes, we appeal to you, on behalf of our children, women,
youth, students and all Sudanese people, asking your excellency to take immediate positive
response and action to stop the violations of Human rights in Sudan and rescue the
Sudanese people.
With many thanks and respect.
