الحركة الشعبية لتحرير السودان و دورها في انفصال جنوب السودان 1983-2005

Abstract EN

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) is an extension of the armed opposition it made to the southern rebels since 1955, represented by the Anyanya 1 movement, which took up arms in southern Sudan and fought a fierce war against successive Sudanese governments for 17 years that ended with the signing of the Addis Ababa Agreement in 1972, which did not enjoy the support of all southern politicians.

As there remained a not insignificant section abroad of those opposing that agreement.

There were many reasons that contributed to the emergence of the popular movement, including the autocratic rule by which Jaafar al-Numeiri ruled Sudan, as he portrayed himself the possibility of ruling Sudan in an absolute way through his control of the reins of affairs in Sudan and his cancellation of the Addis Ababa Agreement in agreement with the southern politician Joseph Lago, and the division of the region The southern region was based on a tribal basis and announced the creation of the Unity region, which included large areas of the southern region due to the discovery of oil in that southern region in abundant quantities.

Sudan Although the slogans it was raising were adopting the unity of Sudan and seeking to change the system of government in it and achieve justice between northerners and southerners alike, this matter was just a cover-up for the intentions that the SPLM was working for, and there is no evidence for that from the Machakos Agreement 2002 and the Naivasha Agreement in 2005, which paved the way for the division of South Sudan and its declaration as an independent state after the referendum in 2011.
