people's trial is possible under the pre-
sent regime.
How do you think Sudan’s socio-
economic problems can be sol-
ved?
The economic and political prob-
lems are very closely interwoven. You
cannot solve one without the other. But
in our situation, and that of underde-
veloped countries in general, the politi-
cal problem is primary; it determines the
direction and speed of the solution to the
economic problems.
In terms of resources, the Sudan is
a very rich country with vast agricultural
lands and many minerals including oil,
uranium and iron. The Sudanese people
are very industrious and qualified in
many fields. There are over one million
highly trained Sudanese running the
economies of other countries in the Mid-
dle East and Africa, instead of their own,
because Numeirism drove them away.
We have all the necessary ingredients
for socio-economic development:
natural and human resources, and even
the finances in the form of oil trapped
under our land. What we need is a cor-
rect system to put these ingredients
together to generate real, sustained
socio-economic development for the
masses.
The Numeiri regime tried to put
these resources together but failed mis-
erably because it ignored the Sudanese
masses who must be the center and
objective of development. Numeiri used
a mechanical formula: Sudan’s .natural
resources + Western technology =+
Breadbasket of the Middle East. This
left us with an empty breadbasket for
Sudan and $9 billion in external debts.
Without denying global interdepen-
dence, what we need is an economic
and therefore political, social and cul-
tural policy that looks inward, that is truly
Sudanese, making the Sudanese the
basic ingredient and objective of
development. Such a policy must be
based on the people, by the people and
for the people. Only they will determine
and make such a policy work. This is in
general; the Sudanese people will pro-
vide the details.
How do you view the Military
Council’s attempt to amend the
Sharia (Islamic law)?
Sharia in any form is unpopular in
the whole country. The new military
regime talks about amending, but it is
ridiculous and unconstitutional to amend
30
an unconstitutional law. The generals
announced the dissolving of Numeiri's
constitution, Sudanese Socialist Union
and State Security Organization, but
they are going to amend Numeiri's
decree of Sharia, a decree that never
even entered his illegal constitution, and
that maimed and humiliated hundreds of
Sudanese whose only crime was that
Numeiri’s policy caused them to go hun-
gry. The regime should have scrapped,
not reformed, Sharia. They should
instead talk about compensating those
citizens who suffered physical and emo-
tional harm under Numeiri’s Sharia, and
bring to trial those criminals who traded
in Islam.
How was the SPLA formed and
what are its relations with other
national forces?
The SPLA was formed from Battal-
ion 105 commanded by Comrade Lt.
Col. Kerubina Kuanyin Bol, and Battal-
ion 104 commanded by Comrade Lt.
Col. William Nyrum Bany. These were
units of the Sudanese Army until May
1983, when they were attacked from
Juba and Malakal, as a consequence of
one of Numeiri’s many reckless deci-
sions. The two battalions resisted for two
days after which they withdrew to the
bush to regroup and form the SPLA/
SPLM. Since then, over 5000 Sudanese
Army soldiers, police, prison and game
wardens have joined the SPLA.
The SPLA/SPLM is a national
organization that aims to liberate Sudan
from economic backwardness and all
forms of sectarianism, and to institute a
truly democratic government. The
movement is open to all Sudanese irres-
pective of race, religion, sex or region of
birth. We seek to work with any national
force with which we have similar views
and/or objectives, and according to the
mode of cooperation agreedupon. @
