Tensions are rising in Sudan as the country prepares for elections in 2010 and a subsequent referendum over whether the people of South Sudan want to break away and become an independent state.
The Sudan Tribune reported from Juba on Monday that the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in Khartoum and the dominant party in the south, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), are on "the verge of political crisis" over an SPLM decision at the weekend to boycott cabinet meetings of the national government.
The SPLM and NCP serve in a unity government established in 2005 in terms of the Comprehensive Peace Accord which ended a long war between north and south.
The agency also said the NCP has reacted angrily to SPLM leader Salva Kiir Mayardit's weekend suggestion that southerners should vote for independence in the referendum.
On Saturday, the Tribune reported Kiir at saying in Juba: "You want to vote for unity so that you will become a second class in your own country, that is your choice."

Kiir, apart from being president of the semi-autonomous territory of South Sudan, is vice-president of Sudan's national government.
SPLM members of parliament have been boycotting sittings of the National Assembly in Khartoum for two weeks over demands that bills preparing the way for elections and referenda should be tabled.
The Tribune says the NCP and SPLM are expected to meet to discuss the SPLM boycotts, as well as the bills - which need to be finalised before the assembly dissolves in a month's time.
Sudanese voters go to the polls in April next year. Voter registration for the election began on Sunday.

IS AFRICA FOR SALE ? 1) I’ve heard that one African country made a 99-year deal with an Asian country to lease a part of their land. 2) How can anyone make a deal for the next generation ? 3) What can we do about it ? 4) Organize and get those crooks out of office or any position of power.
5) Pray to God For insight and divine intervention.
6) Africa Is being targeted by many who are not respecting Africa.
7) We must stop selling ourselves and respect ourselves, our families and God.

Uplift writing comments then replying to himself. Lonely and pathetic.
Paradox! Why should a south sudanese vote for unity when he/she will be always considered as inferior?!!!! Human should be respected and considered as an animal. Racism is a "culture" in the northern part of sudan. Dark skinned are named SLAVES and treated as such. Unity will not benefit the south.
My dear please check history one more time. The president of Sudan is a black AFrican. The main motive in this case is religion and resources. The days of former Sudanees Government allowed outsiders to come into Sudan and preach divided hymns instead of unity, that continues for so long which is NOW cronic. Furthermore, the second reason is because of the oil; those greedy outsiders are working very rigously hard to get hand on Sudan oil and use it they way fitz and wanted by them - they don't love or care for South Sudan. Plain example, look around yourself. Do you think they will like to live in division ?? If so, please show me one. And if not, why would Sudan be two nations in one. Sudan should be One Nation, and that MUST be the bottom line for any major Africa Organiztions. Do you think Germany was happy when they were devided ?? Do you ?? If so, why do they fight, fought and go all out to make sure that they are united. Unity is a strenght in all cases.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER !!!
1. TIMOR ( East & West )
2. KOREA ( North & South )
3. VIETNAM ( North & South )
4. HISPANIOLA became ( Dominican Republic & Haiti )
I5. INDIA became ( INDIA & PAKASTAN )
6. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 AND The Brussels Conference of 1889 – 1890
- DIVIDED ALL THE EXISTING TRIBAL BORDERS OF MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES –
* Making them into these ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCTS THEY CALL COUNTRIES
7. ZIMBABWE Has survived up until now the brunt of all this EUROPEAN & FLUNKIES DIRECTED ACTIVITIES..from Cecil Rhodes to the Present Antagonists.
- Yet Zimbabwe is being subjected to another DIVIDE AND CONQUER scheme.
8. FINALLY HERE’S SOME ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR US WHO ARE WAITING FOR THIS STORM TO PASS :
Jeremiah, chapter 50 : 9
For, behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon AN ASSEMBLY
OF GREAT NATIONS FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY: and they shall set
themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall
be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
[Daniel 11:14 ]]
And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south(AMERICA / BABYLON ):
ALSO the ROBBERS OF OUR PEOPLE shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; BUT THEY SHALL FALL !
