The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North faction led by Abdul-Aziz al-Hilu has decided to continue the armed struggle and other means to topple the Khartoum government and restructure the country on new foundations.

The SPLM-North faction held a three-day meeting in South Kordofan including hundreds of members representing the political and military leadership.

According to the final communiqué seen by Radio Tamazuj on Sunday, the three-day meeting discussed the current situation in the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains regions, adding the meeting also sided with the vision of the New Sudan project.

The communiqué stressed that all decisions taken by the Nuba Mountains Liberation Council (NMLC) and the Blue Nile Liberation Council (BNLC) in the absence of the national institutions were constitutional.

The group accused Malik Agar and Yasser Arman of signing secret deals with known parties for the purpose of laying down arms.

The SPLM-North rebel group has been fighting against the Khartoum government in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan regions since 2011.
