In an exclusive interview with Sudan Radio Service on Thursday
from an undisclosed location, Al-Hilu said the SRF’s latest attacks on the areas
of Abu-Karshola, Al-Simeh, Alla-Karim and Um-Rawaba in Northern Kordofan were
in retaliation for attacks on areas controlled by the SRF by the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), which coincided with
the start of the Addis Ababa negotiations.
Al-Hilu alleged that marginalization and deprivation of freedoms
and justice in Sudan will not end until the SRF reaches government institutions
in Khartoum and kick out its leaders.
”There will be no change, there will be no New Sudan,
there will be no freedom, and there will be no justice or respect for others unless
the SRF enters Khartoum, to the residence of Abdel-Rahim Mohammed Hussein and President
Al-Bashir, the unjust head of the National Congress party (NCP),” Al-Hilu said.
He further refuted government claims that SRF forces were
supported by South Sudan in the recent attacks in Northern Kordofan, describing
the claims as NCP attempts to deflect citizens’ attention away from the real
issues behind the fighting. He predicted more attacks by the SRF.
He added that unless the ruling regime reconsiders its wrong
policies of military solutions for the Sudan issue, monopolizing government, in
addition to marginalization, more parts of Sudan will witness war.
He said the flames of battle will be witnessed in in Al-Jezeerah,
Shandi, Haj-Yousif and Um-Bada, against these “malicious criminals, Bashir and
his allies.”
Earlier the United Nations expressed concern over the SRF
attacks on Northern Kordofan State, calling the fighting as shocking.
The mission added that the escalation in military
hostilities may obstruct peace talks between the SPLM-N and the government.
In response to that Al-Hilu illustrated that the SPLM-N is bound
by United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution number 2046, adding that
the NCP is not committed to the negotiations and refuses to acknowledge the
international agenda for negotiations.
“The Addis talks failed even before the attack on Abu-Karshola
and other incidents, we abide by the 2046 resolution from the UNSC,” he
reiterated.
He added that resolution 2046 tackles previous agreements,
national issues and calls for comprehensiveness rather than solutions of
exclusion.
Media houses in Khartoum, including the national television broadcast
rumours that Abdel Aziz Al-Hilu was killed in the recent Um-Rawaba battles.
Al-Hilu responded by saying “ This is not new, it is
expected of the NCP, we look at these rumours as wishful thinking from their
leadership, that so and so disappeared. Dr John Garang Yousif Kuwa, Dr. Khalil
Ibrahim, Abdallah Abakr, Adam Bazuka died martyrs but the cause lives on,
because the root cause of the problem has not been solved. Because the war is
on political, economic, cultural, social and religious grounds and other types
of marginalization in Sudan.”
Over 15,000 people sought refuge in Rahad in the aftermath
of the SRF attacks on their respective areas in Northern Kordofan, according to
the Sudan Relief Commission.
