July 5, 2013, (KHARTOUM) - The Sudanese vice president, Al-Haj Adam
Youssef, has categorically rejected the idea of secession for any part
of Sudan and said that it will take place only “over our dead bodies”,
predicting that the rainy season will witness the end of the armed
rebellion in Sudan.

“The necks of those who call for cessation of South Kordofan will be
chopped prior to cutting South Kordofan from Sudan territory”, said
the vice president.
Adam, who was addressing a rally organized by the women of South
Kordofan state in Khartoum yesterday, called upon the Sudanese
People’s Liberation Movement/North (SPLM-N) leader, Abd Al-Aziz
al-Hilu, and other arms bearers to learn the lesson from their
predecessors and lay down arms and join peace.
He accused the international community of turning a blind eye to human
rights violations committed by the rebel groups, urging South
Kordofan’s women to launch a campaign calling for the return of those
who were seduced to join the rebellion.
Adam further stressed that the government did not overcome the
rebellion in South Kordofan by the power of arms or rockets but the
unity of the people in the state.
South Kordofan’s conflict erupted in June 2011 when Sudan attempted to
forcibly disarm SPLM-N fighters it accuses of being backed by their
brother-in-arms in the South Sudanese army.
Last April, SPLM and its allies in the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF)
extended their attacks to Um Rawaba in North Kordofan state before
moving and briefly occupying Abu-Kershola in South Kordofan on the
border with North Kordofan state.
