Sudan National Congress and other political parties 12, combined to Sudan Electoral Commission submitted nominations Sudan President Bashir for the next presidential candidate's application, marking the Sudan in April this year, officially opened the curtain of the election. This will be held in Sudan for more than 20 years of the first multiparty democratic elections. 9 months after the general election, voters will once again in southern Sudan into the polling station to vote on a referendum to decide the future status of the region. It can be said that the year ahead will be to determine the future fate of key Sudan. The Bashir has great advantage because of the significant achievements in power, at present in Sudan is still very difficult to find with Bashir equally rivals, Bashir in the general election has a very favorable position. Sudanese media agreed that President Al-Bashir in 1989 through military coup after taking office is composed of Government since independence in 1956 Sudan's most successful Government. In his ruling, the Sudanese economy development by leaps and bounds, and significant improvements in living standards, the social face of the earth-shaking changes occur. In January 2005, Bashir Government and anti-Government armed forces in southern Sudan, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement organized the signing of the comprehensive peace agreement between North and South, over 20 years of civil war. Subsequently, the Sudan was established in the National Congress Party and the Sudan Liberation Movement, there are multiple parties to participate in the national unity Government, revealing the new page of history. More than a year later, the Government of West Darfur rebel organization signed a peace agreement, the situation in the region eased. Bashir's advantage lies in the broad masses. Many people believe in Sudan, his re-election is conducive to maintaining peace and stability in the country, but also conducive to continue to implement the comprehensive peace agreement. In addition, the Sudan National Congress Party has full confidence in the election, to make every effort to prevent any fraud, ensure that elections are fair, honest and transparent. Analysts believe that maintain domestic stability to enable the successful holding of general elections is the Sudanese Government is currently the greatest challenge facing. Sudan President's national security adviser Ingushetia 11, pointed out that, before and during the election, likely aimed at undermining election "organized violence," Darfur and southern Sudan is most likely to occur in such activities. The situation in the southern Sudanese Parliament confusing in December last year with the adoption of the southern Sudan the Referendum Act (the Act), for the next January in the South on their future status plebiscite held open the door. Nevertheless, the situation in southern Sudan is always cause for concern. First, between the main political parties are not on referendum after the border demarcation agreement, etc. The Act requires that the National Congress Party in Sudan and the Sudan People's liberation movement in a referendum before the referendum of arrangements, which are first and foremost a border demarcation, petroleum revenue allocation and distribution of water resources. However, the Act did not require agreed deadlines. Sudan National Congress Party that can not sing agreement can not be held as scheduled referendum, North-South war is difficult to avoid. And the Sudan People's Liberation Movement insists that no agreement would be "at all costs" referendum on schedule. Secondly, inter-tribal frequent violent conflict, the proliferation of illegal weapons. This is the southern Sudan is currently the biggest security problem. Only in the last year, the tribal conflict led to over 1000 people dead and tens of thousands of people to flee their homes as refugees. This year, the region has occurred 2 serious tribal conflicts, nearly 200 people were killed and thousands displaced. Illegal arms proliferation in the southern region of the local security also constitute a serious threat. Southern Government has repeatedly taken collection of illegal weapons, but little success. In addition, the Sudan People's liberation movement control situation of limited capacity. The Organization's members to the southern most tribal Dinka tribe to the other, the lack of appeal, and internal faction, infighting. Sudan's former Foreign Minister Alam Kul Le last year led a · the Organization of some members of the detachment, since the set of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement for democratic change, make them suffer the most serious since the establishment of the Division. (Subtitle) external interference is weakening the re-election of Bashir sought is weakening external interference. While the International Criminal Court in March last year on his warrant a thing remains Sudan Government of shadow, but including the United States, Western States now tend to the International Criminal Court and the Sudan elections separately. U.s. presidential envoy for Sudan gration recently in Washington denied for us to put pressure on Sudan to forcing Bashir exit general election. He said that the United States currently in Sudan concerns is the core issue to achieve peace and stability, help 270 million refugees return to their homes and infrastructure. In view of the southern Sudan severe security situation, local media said the United States some officials recently proposed to postpone the referendum in southern Sudan, giving priority to address the security and stability issues, but were refused the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. The situation in southern Sudan, the year ahead and confusing in the development of the situation is also full of variables, especially after winning Bashir will be how to handle and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, the Sudanese people's liberation movement can be in control of the situation in the South, these will be decided whether the southern referendum held as scheduled. Sudan's future destiny also in this year to become lucid. (Finished)
