How Long Will the NCP-SPLM “Marriage” Last?

If this continues, the “marriage” will be no more and we could possibly witness a highly violent divorce. I’m sure all Sudanese would love that.

September 11, 2007 (KHARTOUM) — Heavily armed police raided premises of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, the peace partner of the ruling National Congress Party, on Tuesday, threatening a partnership created under a peace deal that ended 20 years of north-south war, the SPLM said.

The former rebels said the raids, which targeted three of its offices in the capital, followed a campaign and slanderous attacks against senior SPLM officials in the national media.

… “Obviously out of courtesy they were supposed to inform the leadership of the SPLM and we were supposed to be there,” he said. “But they came and searched us like criminals. That is unfortunate,” the SPLM deputy secretary general said.
