Sudan to Hold Direct Political Talks With SPLM-N Rebels, Spokesperson

Displaced by conflict.

Khartoum — Sudanese government and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) are expected to hold direct political talks in Addis Ababa on Thursday, said Sidiq Mutrif the spokesperson of Khartoum negotiating team.

The two parties failed since June 2011 to negotiate a peaceful settlement to their conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile as President Omer Hassan al-Bashir rejected a framework agreement signed on 28 June of last year.

Since the rebel group formed an alliance with three rebel groups in Darfur called Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) aiming to topple Khartoum's regime. The Front also rejects separate talks and called on the international community to support a comprehensive process.

However the UN resolution 2046 provides to hold direct talks between the government and the SPLM-N to end the current conflict in the two southern Sudanese states . The Security Council emphasises that the talks will be based on the 28 June framework. It also demands Sudan to allow humanitarian access the rebel held areas.

Speaking to reporters in the Ethiopian capital, Mutrif said the humanitarian talks between his government delegation and SPLM-N may reach a deal over this issue on Thursday. The talks are based on the agreement the two parties signed with the UN, African Union and Arab League.

Mutrif disclosed that the political track in the process should start tomorrow. He went further to say the political negotiations "will be in line with the framework defined by the African Union road map and the resolution 2046".

The spokesperson official did not clearly say that his government accept the 28 June 2011 framework but mentioned the resolution 2046 which refer to that deal reject by President al-Bashir.

Nonetheless a reliable source in Addis Ababa told Sudan Tribune that the talks would begin on Friday pointing out that another negotiating delegation led by Kamal Obeid will fly to Addis Ababa tomorrow Thursday for the discussions with the SPLM-N.

Also the ruling National Congress Party issued a statement in the first hours of Thursday announcing its support to the direct talks with the SPLM-N.

NCP deputy chairman Nafie Ali Nafie told SUNA after a meeting of the NCP leadership council that the ruling party tasked Kamal Obeid to submit a number of proposals and guidelines endorsed by the leadership to serve as guide for dialogue over the issue of the two states with all the political forces.

Obeid form his side stated that the talks with the SPLM-N will be separate from the process taking place with the South Sudanese government. He added that the ceasefire and security arrangements should be prioritised in the talks.

Last year, the 28 June framework was rejected by the army and a radical wing in the ruling National Congress Party . The latter were repeating that this accord, which establishes a partnership between the NCP and the SPLM-N, would lead to another CPA that might dismantle what remains of Sudan.

The signing of the framework by Nafie did not prevent some in Khartoum from saying that the SPLM-N is used by Juba to destabilise the current regime and weakening it.

In New York, the UN Security Council will be briefed Thursday on the talks taking place between Sudan and the South Sudan from one side and the SPLM-N from the other side. Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Sudan and South Sudan, Haile Menkerios, will speak with the consultations meeting from Addis Ababa. However it is not clear if the chief mediator Thabo Mbeki will take part in the briefing or not.

The threat of international sanctions against the parties to the conflict if they do not comply with resolution seemingly, motivated Khartoum, Juba and the SPLM-N to join the process and to make concessions in order to conclude a deal over the disputed issues.

Khartoum had a very tough stance towards the rebels of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, but finally accepted to discuss with them as stipulated in the road map and the resolution.

The SPLM-N, on the other hand, reaffirmed recently its refusal for direct and separate talks with the Sudanese government expressing doubts on its genuineness to reach a viable settlement over the disputed issues.

The humanitarian access to the rebel held areas and the 28 framework agreement are cited, among others, by the SPLM-N to underscore Khartoum's lack of seriousness in this regard.

Analysts however agree that the talks would not be easy as Khartoum might seek to get first the disarmament of the rebel group . Also on the popular consultation the parties might come with different interpretations on how to conduct it.

    " This is a much needed advance on peace especially within this Holy month of Rramadan". "Another thing Sudan must do is to fasten its boots to Africa". Until Africa the continent has 'the Oneness" that we need to succeed with the billion people that reside on the continent."African institutions need to be strengthed" as well as the unity that was always Africa. Prior to conquest of the Mediteranean states that were african there was one world; fact... We need to be financially viable without the necesarry attachments to former western colonialist. Another strong matter is the conflict of the Arab League, they have some states that are now one and the same with the west they are still backing colonialist and imperialist ineterst as it coincides with thier own slefish nefarious ways. Arab must not be used loosely and certainly not within the historical undestanding that has been known as how to define an Arab ; these definitions has been only rewritten and devised with the European standards of redefining where history began and who is the true Israelite and an Arab. Let us not forgett that the black man is at the epicentre of the true beginnings of all humanity he is the first the parent group!!!!!. No matter how you hide and try to reddefine your blackness the Arab is intrinsinbctly linked to African culture and traditions. It amazes me that Sudan which means literally Land OF THE BLACKS is having sucgh a bad disposition with choosing and knowing thier blackness and what should be natural to them. "It is time for all myths about black people abolished utterly destroyed from the planet and the forward triumphant march of progress is sounded in all black communities world wide". Arabic speaking lighter skinned people whom reside especially in Lebanon does not want to accpet that the black man was the builder the owner of all these lands that is presently occupied by those who came conquored and mixed with the black populations. Palestinian blacks are so discriminated against they are not able to hold passports and being told they were brought there during slavery /// who said that? who is the brains behind such nonesnse what tomfoolery and total absurdity , the black man was King Queeen of all the mediteranean states including Greece Rome etc. Do not get history wrong the rewriting of history has started since the days of Rome where they , although even they were not as prolific as the Europeans who totally assimilated the truth into thier historical events. We see even in Israel those people whom are nothing to do with any parts of Africa , people from Germany Canada Russia Poland USA , are claiming to be ISRAELITES hwat tribes are they descended from. They are all western the majourity western peoples whove infiltarted the true people of Israel whom also mostly lost thier identities thru enslavement assimilation and accepting of Islam."These original Arabs are representative of true Israel and thier black identitty". 'What is even more alarming ,I have pictures of orthodx Germans who were definitely mixed race black people; yet these today, know not thier pass.A potrait of Herod is shown as the person of a black man with curly hair tight curls black man style. It is impossible to say that we know history and do not know that Africa is the head quarters" the beginning of all life and sophisticated civilizations""". Sudan as it is known today was the first and they were absloutely black with out mixture or dillutuion of colour. It should also be known that if the Chinese accept thier blackness and they will tell you they are Africans what is the problem with these litle brown skinned mixed race peple that wont recognise thier black ness. //WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING BLACK? "THERE ARE STUPID ARAB SPEAKING MERCEANARIES DEFYING RAMADAN FIGHTING IN SYRIA FOR ISRAELI AND WESTERN INTEREST ? WE MUST NEVER EVER FORGET THAT ARABS WERE DESCRIBED DEFINED BY WHITES TO MISLEAD AND STEP ON THE RIGHTEOUSS BLACK MAN, WHO ARE THE TRUE ARABS". THERE ARE NO DESERT TRIBES THAT ARRIVED TO SUCH GREAT HIEGHTS OUT OF NO WHERE, SURPASSING AL OTHER HUMANITIES MORE ORGANISED, TEACHING WRITING A COMLEX LANGAUGE "OBSERVING CREATION IN ALL ITS GLORY" AS WHATS BEING PRESCRIBED TO THESE FOOLS FROM THE DESERT!!!! . THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO WASH THIER BODIES HYGIENE ELUDED THEM INTEGRITY WHICH IS HIGH HUMAN LIFE ROM WAS NOT RECOGNISED AMOMNG THEM THEY HAD NO RELIGION OR SLEF WOTH THEY WERE BARBARIANS SELFISH IGNORANT THESE WERE WHY THE STANDARDS WERE SET SO HIGH SO THEY COULD AFAPT AND REACH THE CULTURES AND TRADITONS THAT WAS THE BLACK MAN ; THE KNOWLEDGE OF PRAYER WAS VOID, THEY WERE COMPLETELY ILLITERATES WHOM HAD TO BE A TUGHT A NEW LANGUAGE THEY WERE FORCED TO MEMORISE THE QUARAAN;AS THEY WERE TOO ILLITERATE TO READ . THESE WERE WHY THESE ISLAMIC SCHHOLS WERE DEFINED TO TEACH THEM ISLAM AND ARABIC"."GIVE TO THEM CULTURE THIS IS WHY SOME OF THEM ARE CONFUSED TODAY ,THEY ARE FOLLOWING WHITE HSITORIANS TELLING US THAT WE ARE HAMITES THEY ARE HAMITES AND WHITES ARE SEMITES WHAT LOAD OF FOOLISHNESS WHERE DID THESE WHITES COME FROM DURING CREATION???WESTERN GOOGLYGOO!!!! TIME IS WHAT GAVE THESE NEW ARABIC SPEAKING TRIBES A CHANCE AT SUCCESS THE SLAVE TRADE AND WHITE RACISM """!DO NOT FOREGT THIS!!" THESE AUTOCRATIC SO CALLED MUSLIMS' WHO USE CAMOUFLAGE OF BEING AN ARAB ,ARE INCITING MURDER TO STAND BY ISRAEL THE WEST SO THEY CAN SIT ONTHIER FALSE THRONES!!!. " ANY BWAAY' WHO IS CALLING HIMSELF A KING IN TODAYS WORLD IS BLASPHEMING" THAT YOU MUST KNOW!!!". "WE KNOW TODAY THAT THERE IS ONLY "ONE KING "AS ALL OUR LINEAGES TO THRONES ON EARTH IN THE CHRACTERISTICS OF OUR HUMAN KINGS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PLANET IN THIER PHYSICAL BEINGS" "HE" THAT STAND "INDIVISIBLE SOVERIEGN ONE SUPREME BODY" ' WHO IS MAJESTIC ALONE TO BE WORSHIPED AND RVEERED AND REFERD TO AS "KING". THERE ARE NO LITTLE BWAAYS WHO DO NOT COME FROM THE LINEAGE OF SOLOMAN DAVID CHRIST OR ANY OF THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THE " MOST HIGH GOD"THERE IS ONLY ONE ORIGINAL PEOPLE "" AND THEY WITHOUT A DOUBT ARE NOT IT' THEY ARE DOING WHAT THE JEWS ARE DOING CLAIMNING WHAT INHERRITANCE IS NOT THIERS". YOU MIGHT WANT TO BELIVE THE FOOLISHNESS BUT THE TRUTH CAN NOT BE DENIED. RIFT VALLEY WAS SETTLED CONTROLLED RUN BY EARTHS EARLIEST CHAMPIONS OFD CIVILIZATIONS THEY WERE NTO HUNTER GATHERERS AS WAS BEING LED TO BELIEF THAT CAME WAY AFTER. THIS NOT THE FORUM FOR THIS WHAT IS THAT THE ARAB LEAGUE IS NOT READY !!!!!! "THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS DICTATORS THEY ARE MONARCHS AUTHORITARIANS WHOM ARE PRETENDING TO BE MUSLIMS WHILE THEY HAVE OBTAINED THIER TITLES FROM WESTERN GOVERNMENTS" AND THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO SERVE THESE SATANIC PEOPLE IN THIER MISERY!!!!!!!. IS LIBYA FREE TODAY IRAQ ARE THEY FREE TODAY WHERE IS THIS WAR GOING WITH SECTARIANISM WHO WILL BENIFIT ? WHICH MUSLIM FEELS THAT BECAUSE HE PRACTICES WHAT IS MAN MADE ORGANISED RELIGION THAT THEY WILL ENTER INTO PARADISE FIRST,?? NOT ONE." WE MUST SEE THE LIGHT AND RECOGNISE THAT 'ISLAM BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER "IN PEACE AND RECOGNISING THAT THERE IS ONLY "ONE ALL MIGHTY GOD" IRRELEVANT THE COLOUR OR CREED." THERE IS NO EXAMPLE SET WHEN WE HAVE THESE SO CALLED JIHADIST WHO ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR ALLAH BUT FOR WESTERN INETERST'. "BEING USED BY NEFARIOUS INTEREST TO PROMOTE THIER WICKED EVIL ASPIRATIONS IS NOT WORKING FOR "ALLAH " OR THE ADVANCEMENT OF ISLAM. "ISLAM IS THE CONTIUATION OF THE TRUE RELIGION THAT WAS GIVEN TO AFRICAN PEOPLE IN THE VERY BEGINNING" MAKE NO MISTAKE!!!!!. "THE AFRICAN SUN PEOPLE ARE THE FIRST AND ONLY HUMAN RACE THAT WAS CREATED BY"ALLMIGHTY ALLAH"". SO THESE FACTS YOU NEED TO DIGEST AN NOT FOLLOW THE RACIST IMPERIALIST VESRE THAT IS MISLEADING MISINFORMATIVE AND A DENIAL OF THE TRUTH"." AFRICA IS IN A NEW DAWN AND WHAT WE NEED IS INTELLIGENT PEOPLE' THAT WANT TO BUILD ALONG THE SAME LINES THAT WERE TAUGHT TO OUR FORFATHERS WHOM GAVE US THE MANY SCRIPTS VERSES AND BOOKS OF RIGHTEOUSS TEACHINGS"". "OUR CHILDREN ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ,EVERY SINGLE AFRICAN CHILD IS IMPORATNAT. "ISLAM IS A CULTURE OF HONOUR AND NOBILITY AND IT DOES NOT MOST CERTAINLY DEFINE SLAVERY OR ANY ATTRIBUTES OF SATAN(OPPRESSION) AS PART OF ISLAM ";THIS WAS HOW WE KNOW THAT CERTAIN VERSES WERE NOT WRITTEN NOR SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET MUHAMAD' PEACE BE UPON HIM."THERE IS NO DOUBT!!!! THAT WE HAVE MANY MISINTERPRETATIONS ESPECAIILY IN THE BIBLE ,THAT WAS CONVENIENTLY PUT TOGETHER BY EUROPEANS. "THESE TRUTHS NEED TO BE TOLD TO ALL PEOPLES SO THEY CAN DECIDE WHAT IS THE TRUTH AND THE RIGHT PATH". INTELLIGENCY IS SOMETHING THAT IS INBORN AND PEOPLE HAVE A INNER SPIRIT THAT CONNECTS WITH" OUR LORD". WHAT YOU MUST SEE IS THAT WE ARE PART AND PARCEL OF 'HIS CREATION "AND "HE UNIVERSE IS ALL HIS" SO EVRYTHING IS PERFECT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF "ALLMIGHTY ALLAH". IT IS WE WHO HAVE BECOME IMPERFECT AS ALL HIS ANGELS ARE PERFECT AND WORSHIP HIM WITH PERFECTION. "WE MUST ONCE AGAIN LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT AFRICA IS THE ORIGINAL PLACE OF HIGHER LEARNING AND ALL SCIENCES'. WARS CONFLICTS HAS SEEMED TO BE THE WAY OF LIFE IN AFRICA FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS NOW SINCE THE MACEDONIANS WE HAVE BEEN LEFT IN TURMOIL WITH DESTRUCTIONS OF THE ENTIRE FABRIC OF AFRICAN CULTURES TRADITIONS; WE READ IT IN THE BIBLE, FURTHER T ALIENATING RIGHTEOUSS PEOPLE FROM THIER CULTURES THE MORE CONFLUICT THE MORE WE GET LOST. LOOK AT LIBYA PALESTINE COTE d' IVOIRE DRC WE SEE THAT A SMALL AMMOUNT OF CONFLICT AS IN SUDAN CREATES CHAOS WHERE THE PEPLE LOSE CONTACT WITH CIVILITY AND THEY GO FURTHER BEHIND AND NOT FORWARD THIS IS WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE ON OUR GLORIOUS CONTINENT AND IT HAS BEEN GING ON FOR SOEM TIME. WHAT ALSO TO BE RECOGNISED THAT AFRICA IS A VERY LARGE LAND MASS WHEN WE TALK ABOUR AISIA THEY ARE SPREAD ACROSS MILLIONS OF MILES OF OCEANS WHILE WE ARE SPREAD ACROSS MILLIONS OF MILES OF LAND MASS. SO THE DEGREDATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE TOOK THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO DEFEAT OUR TRUTH AND STRONG CULTURES. IT IS OUR DUTY TO REASSERT THE TRUTH AS TO WHOM WE ARE. RIGHT NOW THE ARAB LEAGUE IS IN LEGUE WITH AMERICAN NATO INETERST, COMLYING WITH THIER IDEALS OF TERRORISM CHAOS AND DICTATORSHIPS. HOW CAN WE BE MSULIMS AND NTO ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO RIGHTEOUSSLY COME TOGTHER TO SEEK AWAY FORWARD IN THIER OWN NATIONS. SYRAI MADE ATTEMPTS TO BRING THE PEOPLE TGETHER IN ELECTIONS VOTING AND SO ON THEY WERE SNUBBED BY THE WEST WHO INSPIRED THIS CONFLICT WITH MUSLIMS AGAINST MUSLIM WHICH WAS THE PATTERN IN IRAQ. TODAY WE ARE A MORE INTELLIEGNT PEOPLE AND IF WE DO NTO STOP THIS MADNESS WE WILL RETIRE TO THE FIRE WITH THESE SAME DEVILS THAT IS INSPIRING THIS LEADERSHIP. THEREIS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN TELL ME THAT IN ORDER TO FIND THE "ALL MIGHTY ALLAH" YOU MUST FIRST ALLY YPOURSELF WITH SATN AND HIS LEGIONS TO GAIN FREEDOM) ; THAT WORD ACTUALLY GIVES US THE TRUE DEFINTION FREE DUMB WHICH IS NO INTELLIGENCE AT ALL WHERE BEING FERE IS ACTUALLY BEINMG ENSLAVED AND THE HTTOUGHT OF BEING FREE IS ONLY A DEMURE SENSE OF NOTHING NESS. FREE WIZE IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT . WE FIND THIS SENSEONLY IN THE GREATNESS OF ALLAH AS HE MAKES ALL THINSG KNOWN TO US. THERE IS NOTHING HIDDEEN TODAY THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN WE USE THE RIGHT PRINCIPLES. THE ANGELS OF ALLAH ARE VERY BUSY BRINGING AND GIVEING TO THOSE WHO SEEK HSI WIZE INTLLECT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT IS REQUIRED OF US"" TODAY IS NO TIME TO BE FOOLED AND TO SEEK OTHER PERSONALITIES OR CHARCTERS THAN THE "LORD OUR GOD"WHAT DOES ALLAH REWQUIRE OF HUMANITY??? "THERE IS FOR ONE ,NO BIAS BIGGOTRY RACISM THESE THINSG ARE A CREATION OF SATAN AND HIS DESIRE TO KEEP AS MANY AS HE CAN FROM OBTAINING THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE" AGAIN I WILL RTIETERATE THERE WAS ONLY ONE RACE MADE AND THAT WAS THE BLACK RACE THE HUMAN RACE HE CONSTRUCTED THEM DIFFERNTLY WHICH RESULTED IN THE NUMEROUS DIFFERENCES WE SEE TODAY IN HUMANITY. THE ORIGINAL BALCK MAN WAS AT NOT TIME THE SLAVES OF ANY MAN OTHER THAN WHEN THE ORIGINS OF MAN CHANGED AND THEY WHOM WERE NTO BORN PURE FELT THEY HAD SOMETHING TO PROVE AGAINST THOSE WHO WERE THE INHERRITROS OF THE GREAT CIVILIZATIONS. JEALOUSY COVETRY BAD MINDEDNESS EVIL LIES DENIAL HATE THESE ARE ALL NEGATIVE DIMENSIONS THAT WAS GIVEN AND SEWN INTO THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. WE CAN NOT CHOOSE WHEN WE FEEL LIKE TO CALL UPON ALLAH AND FORGET THAT SATN IS WORKING FEVERISHLY TO DEFEAT AND SPOIL THE GREATNESS OF ALLAH. SATN IS ASSURED NOT VICTORY AND THIS HE KNOWS SO HE CREATES A MUCH ANIMOSITY PAIN HATE DEATH WAR CONFLICTS AS HE CAN TO EB PART OF THIS THREAT TO HUMANITY IS WEAK AND ABOMINATION AND YOU SHALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THESE LITTLE MEN WANT TO GIVE US THIER COURTS OF ILLJUSTICE THIER WEAK APARATUS INSATED OF WHAT WE KNOW TO BE RIGHTEOUSS TEACHINGS OF "OUR LORD" THEY ANT TO CREATE A WORLDY KINGDOM HWERETHE PEOPLE ARE BEHOLDING TO THEM SUBJECT TO THIER WISHES AS IF THEY WERE THE "ALL MIGHTY " INDEED ; THIS IS FOLLY RIDDICULOUS AND NOT WITHOUT TEPRIDATION. TO FOLLOW THEM IS TO CHOOSE DEATH OVER LIFE WHAT THEY OFFFER IS MATERIAL WEALTH BUT WITH A PRICE THAT IS ETERNAL DEATH WHEN THESE SAME REWARDS CAN BE OBTAINED BY FOLLOWING THE TRUE PATH AND "GLORIFYING ALLAH" AT ALL TIMES THE TIME FOR YOU GET ON BOARD IS NOW YOUR HEART MUST BE LESS HEAVY YOU MUST BRING 'THE GLAD TIDINGS' WHERE THAT THE PEOPLE WILL SEE OUR SUN IN A DIFFERNT LIGHT!!" . "" MAKE NO MISTAKE TH LIGHT OF GLORY CAN SHINE ON THE CONTINENT WHEN THE LEADERS OF AFRICA SUBMIT ENMASSE TO ALLAH WITHOUT BEING ASHAMED OF SOMETHING THAT WAS ORIGIANLY AFRICAN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT SOEM WILL BE FRIGHETNED OF THE THOUGHT OF WORSHIPING "ONE SOVEREIGN GOD" EVERYONE IN AFRICA MUST CONCLUDE THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH' THE WAYS OF WORSHIPING MAN HAS FALLEN FLAT ON ITS FACE ; THERE IS NO WAY THAT MAN CAN BE EVEN CLOSE IN PROXIMITY TO WHOM ALLAH IS ? THERE IS A CLEAR DISTINCTION OF MANS CAPABILITIES AND WHAT "THE CREATOR THE SUPREME BEING THE ALL MIGHTY GOD" CAN DO!!! BEFORE I CLOSE WE MUST KNOW THAT "OUR LORD" DOES NOT BLEED NOR DOES HE SLEEP NOR DOES HE EAT NOR DOES HE AGE NOR DOES NAY BODILY FUNCTIONS THAT MANKIND DOES. SO ITS IS BLASPHEME TO EVEN CONSIDER THAT ANY LIVING WALKING BREATHING SOUL TO BE ON PARR TO BE ALLIGNED WITH THE SAME DEGREES OF POWER THAT IS SOLELY FOR "THE ALL MIGHTY GOD" WHO HAS DOMINIUON OVER EVERY ASPECT OF HIS CREATION . THERE IS ABSOLOUTELY NONE ON ONE THAT CAN STAND BEFORE THE "ALL MIGHTY GOD" AS AN EQUAL NO ON NO WHERE"" SOVERIEGN INDIVISIBLE UNITED SUPREME ONE " WE MUST NOT CONFUSE OUR FANTASY OR THE FANTASY OF OTHERS TO BECOME ENTWINED WITH THE TRUTH . THE TIME IS NOW FOR THE REDEMPTION OF AFRICA AND AFRICANS WORLD WIDE AND TRUTH IS UNDENIABLE UNBREAKABLE UNRELENTING STRENGGTHENING EMPOWERING AND YOU DO NOT NEED THE GUNS OF SATAN TO FIND PEACE, THESE PRAYERS TO ATN IS ONYL AN END TO YOUR DEMISE. STRENGTHEN YOUR PEOPLE WITH LOVE OVERSTANDING NOBLE RIGHTEOUSS PRACTICES THE LESSONS THAT WERE OURS FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS THIS IS NOTHING NEW" " ALL PRAISES TO OUR LORD THE ALL MIGHTY CREATOR" MAY THE SEASON OF RAMADAN BRING FORTH GREAT AND GLAD TIDINGS" "PEACE LOVE HARMONY BLESSINSG AND UNITY"
