July 5, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - The rebel Sudan People’s Liberation
Movement/North (SPLM-N) has replaced its historical college student
organization known as the African National Front (ANF) by another one
under the name of “The Students of the SPLM-N”.

The SPLM-N secretary general, Yasser Arman, had formed a committee in
mid-2014 to unify the movement’s two college organizations, the ANF
and the Alliance of the SPLM-N Students.
Representatives from the two student organizations held an
extraordinary conference on 30 June and agreed to merge both groups
into one organization under the name of the Students of the SPLM-N.
The member of the committee, Mubarak Ardol, said in a statement
extended to Sudan Tribune on Sunday that the movement would work with
the leadership of its new student organization to confront “all
destructive attempts so that it can play its full role”.
Last Friday, the central committee of the ANF issued a statement
denying knowledge of the extraordinary conference and accusing unnamed
bodies of seeking to destroy the historic organization since 2011.
However, Ardol confirmed the legality of the extraordinary conference
and the elected leadership, saying the new organization is the
legitimate body which represents the SPLM-N at the Sudanese colleges.
“We ask all students affiliated with the SPLM-N and supporters of the
New Sudan program to cooperate with the leadership of this
organization and to work with it,” he added.
He added that several statements have been issued by unknown bodies
calling into question the extraordinary conference which has been held
with the participation of students’ representatives from all colleges
in Khartoum and the various states, saying they threatened to prevent
the new organization from playing its role.
Ardol accused the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS)
of seeking to hinder the work of the new student body and preventing
it from carrying out its duties.
The statement pointed out that the representatives of the two student
organizations met for 17 days to achieve the objectives set by the
SPLM-N leadership, saying both student bodies have been dissolved and
being replaced by one organization under the name of “The Students of
the SPLM-N”.
“[This goal has been achieved] despite of the tyrannical and despotic
policies of the regime which controlled the political scene and
fragmented the opposition [forces] ,” he said.
He said that the SPLM-N college student organization suffered from
internal divisions, lack of vision and coordinated work during the
past period.
The central committee of the new SPLM-N student body issued a
statement on July 1, noting that new organization is the legitimate
heir of the ANF and the Alliance of the SPLM-N Students.
The statement pointed out that a new political council composed of 20
students has been elected besides the council’s chairman and
rapporteur and the central committee.
“Those organs are legitimate and recognized by the [students] base and
the [SPLM-N] leadership”, the statement reads.
