SPLA Offensive Overwhelms Muslim Forces excerpted from: Frontline Fellowship News; 1997 Edition 2 A series of co-ordinated military assaults launched by the Sudan Peoples Liberation Army (SPLA) in March 1997 has succeeded in capturing 24 garrison towns previously held by the National Islamic Front (NIF) government forces. The spectacularly swift offensive swept all opposition aside and killed, wounded or captured a total of 16,000 enemy soldiers. By the end of March the strategic towns of Kaya, Yei, Lainya and Kajokeji had been captured by the victorious SPLA forces. The entire border with Uganda is now effectively under SPLA control (as is the Zaire, Kenyan and Ethiopian borders with Sudan). The SPLA's dramatic new offensive has, therefore, broken the stranglehold of the NIF blockade on Western Equatoria and opened the road for relief supplies to be driven through Uganda into Western Equatoria. The SPLA is now also able to link it's liberated territories in Eastern Equatoria to Western Equatoria and onto Bahr El Ghazal. The SPLA offensive began at the end of the dry season, in March, with co-ordinated attacks on Government of Sudan (GOS) garrisons between Kaya (on the Ugandan border) and Yei (the heart of the agricultural belt) in central Equatoria. Just four days later, by 12 March, the SPLA had routed the GOS forces and captured seven GOS garrisons (at Kaya, Bazi, Morobo, Gumini, Limbe, Loka, and Yei).

Center For Religious Freedom Aims to pressure the U.S. government to take peaceful steps to end slavery, to put a stop to the calculated starvation, and to stop the genoical bombing of villages, hospitals and refugee camps by sudan's radical Islamic regime. Two million people have died from these tactics that's a higher toll than Cambodia's killing fields! http://freedomhouse.org/religion/sudan/index.htm

About the Sudan Campaign Sudan is not only a terrorist nation that has triggered United Nations and U.S. government sanctions, it is also a genocidal one. It is such persecution and brutality that led the U.S. House of Representatives to overwhelmingly adopt Resolution 75 on June 15, 1999, which finds that "the National Islamic Front government is deliberately and systematically committing genocide in southern Sudan, the Nuba Mountains, and the Ingressa Hills" The genocidal levels of religious persecution against southern Sudan have prompted public protests from prominent Christian leaders, such as Catholic Cardinal Bernard Law, the Episcopal House of Bishops, Rev. Chuck Colson, Rev. Franklyn Graham, Baptist leader Dr. Richard Land, Rev. Chuck Singleton, and Presbyterian minister D.James Kennedy. In November 2000, the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Conference issued a resolution on Sudan denouncing the regime's genocidal destruction. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom found in its May 1 2000 Report that Khartoum is the "world's most violent abuser of the right to freedom of religious belief." In the fall of 2000 the U.S. Holocaust Memorial's Committee of Conscience made Sudan the focus of its first non-European project.

Sudan (Notes) Sudan - Government and Political Conditions (Notes) GOVERNMENT From 1983 to 1997, the Sudan was divided into five regions in the north and three in the south, each headed by a military governor. After the 1985 coup, regional assemblies were suspended. The RCC was abolished in 1996, and the ruling National Islamic Front changed its name to the National Congress Party. After 1997, the structure of regional administration was replaced by the creation of 26 states. The executives, cabinets, and senior-level state officials are appointed by the president and their limited budgets are determined by and dispensed from Khartoum. The states, as a result, remain economically dependent upon the central government. Khartoum state, comprising the capital and outlying districts, is administered by a governor. In December 1999, a power struggle climaxed between president al-Bashir and NIF founder, Islamist ideologue, and then speaker of parliament Hassan al-Turabi. Al-Turabi was stripped of his posts in the ruling party and the government, parliament was disbanded, the constitution was suspended, and a state of national emergency was declared by presidential decree. Parliament resumed in February 2001 after the December 2000 presidential and parliamentary elections, but the national emergency laws remain in effect. Al-Turabi was arrested in February 2001, and charged with being a threat to national security and the constitutional order for signing a memorandum of understanding with the SPLA. He was placed in a maximum-security prison and remains in custody.

Bush signs Sudan sanctions bill WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (AFP) US President George W. Bush signed legislation Monday calling for sanctions on Sudan if he finds Khartoum is not negotiating in good faith with southern rebels to end a bloody 19-year civil war. "The Government of Sudan must choose between the path to peace and the path to continued war and destruction," Bush said in a statement released by the White House after he signed the "Sudan Peace Act." "If it makes the right choice, that course will mean improvement in the lives of all Sudanese, better bilateral relations with the United States, and the beginning of its reacceptance into the community of peace loving nations." In a separate statement, Bush said that he viewed the legislation's requirements as non-binding because of the executive branch's prerogative to chart the course of US foreign policy. Sudan's government has branded the measure "unbalanced and unobjective," and said it will offer insurgents in the southern part of the war-torn country no incentive to stay engaged in the peace process.
