Sudan Army Says Advancing toward Higlig Town:Aggressors Started Withdrawal
Sudan's armed forces are on the outskirts of Higlig town and are advancing toward the settlement, which was occupied by South Sudan this week, the Sudanese military spokesman said on Friday.
"We are now on the outskirts of Higlig town," Al-Sawarmi Khalid Saad told reporters in Khartoum. "The armed forces are advancing toward Higlig town ... the situation in Higlig will be resolved within hours."
For their part, opposition political leaders were all agreed that South Sudan’s offensive on South Kordufan’s region of Higlig was an implementation of foreign Israeli scheme after the project of Greater Middle East has failed, which was aimed to pave the way for Israeli expansion in the region.
The chairman of opposition Justice Party Maki Balayil said South Sudan’s People’s Liberation Army’s recurring attacks on Sudanese forces brings out interests of South Sudan in Sudan. Balayil indicated that there was a resolve and determination by Juba to carry out regionally and internationally related agenda, adding that Juba’s refusal to reach close relations with Sudan affirms its endeavors to implement what it calls “New Sudan Project”
The Justice Party’s leader said that South Sudan’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) used the opposition to win support and has actually won many rounds and it is using sons of Nuba and Darfur to achieve more gains.
He termed that the latest offensive on Higlig and some other areas in South Kordufan and the Blue Nile as a blatant foreign aggression and can’t bear neutrality, and that it requires all political forces including the opposition to support the armed forces as they are defending the homeland.
He suggested that opposition figures and others from the government visit the front lines to confirm their support and stand by the armed forces in response to this aggression, stressing the necessity for unifying internal front and political rhetoric to counter this aggression.
Balayil said that the conflict might prolong because there were foreign and international hands leading this work against Sudan because there are many circles want to turn South Sudan into a functional state to play a role greater than regional, affirming that SPLM continuity to play such role means an end to its governing South Sudan because this sort of course is costly.
Speaking to Radio Conference Program broadcast by Sudan National Radio yesterday, Balayil demanded the government work for repulsing the aggression by force considering it guaranteed right in accordance with the International Law, further calling on the government to strike deep into the South and at the same time follow upon complaints it has lodged to the international community.
On his part, Abdel Rasoul Al-Nur, leading figure, demanded the Sudanese government cancel peace agreement with South Sudan and restore the house from within, and also trash all understandings with the South, arguing that the agreement has neither achieved unity nor peace in Sudan.
Al-Nur stressed necessity for unifying the internal front to face the plot SPLM is carrying out. He attributed attacks on Higlig and Abyei to a conflict with SPLM as Nuer are said to believe that oil in Unity and Higlig is property of Nuer, and that these areas can be annexed to the new Kingdom of Nuer led by Riek Machar and Taban Deng. He pointed out that South Kordufan is the second target for SPLM’s expansion in Sudan.
He said that SPLM doesn’t want only South Sudan but seeks to expand northward in the Blue Nile, South Kordufan and Abyei and bets on disuniting the national rank to achieve these interests backed by Israel. “We have to know who the real enemy targeting Sudanese territories is,” Al-Nur said.
Foreign Affairs’ spokesperson Al-Ebeid Marawah revealed endeavors by South Sudan to bargain on Higlig and Abyei. He said that the government is committed to Abyei Protocol and that South Sudan will get out of Higlig by force not voluntarily, affirming that his ministry is currently making diplomatic moves to explain Juba’s attempts to bargain between Higlig and Abyei. “There is no link between Abyei and Higlig,” Marawah said.
