Folks,

The purpose for the Referendum is so that Peace and Liberty can finally be found by the Southern Sudan after 40 years of War between the North and South of Sudan.

Therefore SEPARATION which is the Secession, is paramount. The symbol of an OPEN PALM means separating for PEACE. That is what the Southern Sudan MUST VOTE FOR.

Quote….A. {Darfur is a region in western Sudan whose population is predominantly Muslims. The neglected region has been steeped in civil war since rebels belonging mostly to African ethnic groups took up arms against the Sudanese government in 2003}.

Quote….B. {They have also yet to find common ground on the disputed oil district of Abyei which had supposed to be holding a simultaneous vote on its own future that has been delayed by disagreements over who should have a ballot.

Saraya said that the North now needs to adopt a “new way of thinking” that will help it face the new post-secession challenges “to maintain stability, and to develop radical solutions to the problems that will likely get more complex”.

He criticized Bashir’s speech last week that pledged to transform constitution in North Sudan to a fully Islamic one after the South secedes.

“Not included in this new way of thinking is for the Sudanese president to stand in the midst of the current crisis to announce a few days ago that the constitution would be amended and that the Sharia’a [law] will be the source of legislation in the event of secession of the south”.

“This means that the Sudanese president continues to believe that the Caliphate state in the Sudan is more important than unity, and that with the secession of the south he got rid of the force which hindered the establishment of a religious state in the Sudan. Not only does [this speech] makes unity hopeless but pushes southerners further toward secession, and deepens the rifts between the two countries after the referendum”. Saraya said that Bashir’s defense of the video showing a Sudanese woman being lashed further encourages division and weakens Sudan’s international standing}.

Watch the video carefully and pass on the information.

The voting card MUST NOT BE FOLDED top/bottom, but MUST be CAREFULLY FOLDED sideways ….. so that the ink from the THUMB does not rub against THE UNWANTED BOX or the ink should not touch each other in the two CIRCLES……THUS disqualifying the vote.

Watch the video attached here under and circulate the message to reach voters as far and wide, so people make informed choices.

Henry’s data visualization of land grabbing in Sudan: “I read an article this morning about “land grabbing” in Africa by foreign countries. When I read the amount of land being acquired by foreign investors in Sudan, I thought to my self, “that is horrible”. Then I took a closer look at the numbers. It really doesn’t seem to be that much.”……”They are few but are BUSY doing MultiNational Business getting wealthier from [PROPERTY THEFT], stealing from the poor…Shame aint it not?”….”Thurst For Blood Money”..

In Sudan, a Smudge Could Affect Outcome of Vote
By: Larisa Epatko

As Sudan prepares for a vote in January on whether the south will split from the north, one of the African nation’s challenges is how to inform an electorate with a high illiteracy rate on how to vote.

An estimated 4 million southern Sudanese have registered to vote in the Jan. 9 referendum on southern secession, in a country that has an adult illiteracy rate of 85 percent, said NewsHour special correspondent Jeffrey Kaye. He recently returned from a reporting trip to southern Sudan.

Coming up with appropriate symbols to represent unity or separation took some time. After rejecting symbols such as corn, animals and Arab garb, the final ballot now displays two hands clasped to signify unity and a hand held palm out to represent southern secession, said Kaye.

Even how the ballot is creased has become fodder for conspiracy theorists, he said. If the ballot is folded a certain way, the finger print indicating the voter’s choice could smear onto the opposite side, potentially disqualifying the vote. So education on the referendum now includes how to fold your ballot.
