Sudan Liberation Movement leader Minni Minnawi poses for a pictures with some fighters Minnawi said that Darfur experienced exclusion and denial of rights to effective participation in running the country since Sudan’s independence. He described the emergence and evolution of revolutionary movements in Darfur as a natural reaction to the injustices practiced by the central government in Khartoum. "The Sudan Liberation Movement was the culmination of the forms of rejection by the people of Darfur in the face of injustice after which a revolutionary movement came about with an integrated vision of national liberation and the struggle to win rights ably to prove the country’s real identity and to adopt private and public freedoms and fair power-sharing and wealth distribution formula" reads the statement. Minnawi blamed Bashir’s government for pushing the country into the abyss of fueling the conflict in Darfur and the areas of the margin. He blasted African leaders’ stances as well as the UN & AU for not stopping the genocide in the region. "Unfortunately, the Arab League had a hidden role in the cover-up of Khartoum’s crimes against Darfur”. Minnawi appealed to the UN Security Council, AU, AL, and IGAD to stand firm in the face of the Sudanese regime and put an end to its crimes against the people of Darfur and urged Russia and China to stop supporting Khartoum. He also implored on Darfuris to unify ranks in the face of injustice and hailed their great sacrifices for the sake of freedom and dignity. The rebel chief paid tribute to IDP’s and refugees SLM-MM and Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF). For his part, SLM-MM presidential assistant Abu-Obeida al-Khalifa said that the celebration of the anniversary coincides with commemorating martyrs of movement, and saluted the late Abdullah Abakr who is of the SLM-MM founders and the first Commander in Chief of the their forces. Khalifa pointed out that "the movement has so far presented about 7,000 martyrs…we salute the families of martyrs and the early founders of the movement who have sacrificed themselves and who are with us".
