Sudan’s NCP expects foreign attempts to overthrow it June 26, 2011 (KHARTOUM) – The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in Sudan said it expects a "fierce foreign attack" to remove the party from power following the official independence of the South on July 9th. The NCP deputy chairman in Khartoum Mandoor al-Mahdi said that signs of this plot is evident by recent events in Abyei, South Kordofan and Darfur. Al-Mahdi also made a rare acknowledgement that revolutions that are sweeping the region could occur in Sudan contrary to assertions by other officials. "We are not immune from revolutions," the NCP official said. In Tehran president Omer Hassan al-Bashir in a meeting with Sudanese expatriates accused the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) of secretly sneaking its fighters to South Kordofan in a bid to seize the capital town of Kadugli and install its leading figure Abdel-Aziz al-Hilu as ruler. Bashir said that the ex-Southern rebel group wanted to turn Kadugli into "another Benghazi" in a reference to the rebel stronghold in Libya. "The government stopped all negotiations with any party bearing arms and will quell any outlawed rebellion in Nuba mountains," Bashir said. This month heavy fighting has broke out between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and allied militiamen against troops aligned to southern former rebel army the SPLM, in the northern border state. Both sides traded accusations on who started the fighting. Last month al-Hilu, who is number two in the northern branch of the SPLM and former deputy governor of South Kordofan, came close to winning the state’s gubernatorial election last month but lost to incumbent Ahmed Haroun who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes he allegedly committed in Sudan’s western region of Darfur Furthermore, on May 21st the SAF moved to take over the contested border region of Abyei, flushing out Southern fighters in retaliation for an ambush near the area it blamed on SPLA. The North and South are currently meeting in Addis Ababa with African Union mediation for negotiations on de-escalating the situation in Abyei and South Kordofan.
