Following
is an unofficial translation of the speech delivered by the President
of the Republic, Field Marshal Omar Hassan Ahmed Al Bashir on the
occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Sudan National Day:-
In The Name Of Allah, the Graceful, the Dispenser of Grace
Praise
be to Allah, the Unique, the One, the Self-sufficient, the One Who
begets not, nor was He begotten, and to whom there in none co-equal or
comparable unto Him.
And peace and blessing be upon our Master, Prophet Mohammed, His kin and companions
The very loyal masses of our people
Honorable guests present here
Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon you
Let
us start by greeting our forefathers who founded the independence of
our nation, on this occasion when we are celebrating the 60th
anniversary of our august independence…
The
tree that begot this fruit was planted by those robust arms…that tree
was watered by the noble blood of our martyrs... for our noble nation to
reap that fruit… the heroic encounter that represented the fight for
liberation from the colonization… that spirit which held high the value
of the homeland …that no voice shall be above the voice of the
homeland.. That no partisan voice or personal agenda be given priority…
that no tribal trends be entertained… It sufficed for them to say their
forefather remains the Nile and that their ethnic affiliation is for the
Sudan…that spirit continued high until the banner of our independence
flew high on the mast.…
History
wrote in its books the birth of our nation. All people were united
together for the dignity and the pride of our nation and our people… the
colonizers that gambled on sowing the seeds of sedition amongst our
people, seeking by that to remain weighing on the chest of this
dignified homeland… they lost the gamble... its arrow went astray…
Let
us renew our salutation for the forefathers and foremothers of our
independence…that generation of heroism and of sacrifice… our salutation
for them as we are standing under the shadow of the tree they sow,
leaving behind a pound homeland and a great nation.
Our
salutation for them while we are following their wisdom and are
inspired by their memory which will remain the driving force for our
march… we salute their sacrifices and their noble stands…without theme
we would not have gained our independence… let our slogan remain the one
they raised high… let us personify these aspiration of their as a
living reality … let us translate that spirit into a comprehensive
document that would stand as a proof to our resolve that Sudan remains a
homeland that host all Sudanese people, without exception….a document
that stands as an edifice of unity in diversity…
Celebrating
the anniversary of our independence is an occasion for us to learn from
the lesson of the past and to think about the present and future of our
nation… the spirit that led our forefathers and guided them in their
great procession and shade light along the march towards their great
aspiration and lofty goals… the outstanding lesion that will remain
witness to the greatness of our nation is that of forgetting all narrow
affiliation what it comes to anything related to our homeland and to our
nation…
Thus
we will take up this august opportunity to renew our call and to repeat
our pledge with all the political and societal spectrums in our country
to stand together and back each other, discard away any affiliation
save that to our homeland and our nation… let us build the foundation
for the rule of law… all are equal before the eye of the law…that yard
stick for taking the lead is the sincere performance…good work,
sincerity, loyalty for the homeland and to the nation
Sudan
has faced so many a challenges… but it came out armed with huge
experiences during its march … a march marred by so many a difficulty….
But against it has been able to overcome them all and achieve
outstanding success and make huge leaps…. Sudan is thus able to walk
steadily in towards the phase of achieving peace and set the foundation
for new values for managing political differences and for observing a
wider participation by all the sons of the homeland…
The
national building process will not be complete without discussing the
major issues before which the colonizers set so many a stumbling block
to frustrate our march towards completing a national dialogue therein….
The
colonizers worked to widen the gap through the adoption of the policy
of divide and rule… thus the national governments that took over
inherited huge problems and tremendous challenges…leaving them with no
time to arrange the priorities and to continue discussions on the
questions related to independence…
thus
we have unleashed the question of comprehensive all-inclusive national
and the societal dialogue that leave no one behind… no view will be
barred and all issues are open for discussion…
We have committed ourselves to preparing the climate for that dialogue…therefore we invited all to participate in it…
we
provided the assurances and agreed to a 2-month ceasefire all as a show
of good faith and to encourage those carrying arms to come and join the
process and resort to peace, opt for dialogue as the only means for
redressing grievances and ending injustice… we released detainees and
welcomed anew the activities of political parties and to their
organizing public debates that are governed by nothing save the
regulations of the law and the public interest..
Once
and on the this great occasion, it pleased me to declare a government
decision extending by one more month the ceasefire and renew our call
for those carrying arms to listen to the voice of reason and to join the
peace process and participate in the national dialogue which is managed
by pure Sudanese will, under the roof of the homeland…
The
only supervisor is the people, and the guarantees is the national
consciousness… the implementation of the outcome of this dialogue is a
pledge that we declare before Allah the almighty and a promise to our
people..
We
would like to warmly great those who responded to the national call and
embellished the halls where the dialogue is taking place through their
serious dialogue and constructive views …
Here
we would like to announce extending by one month the duration of the
national dialogue conference which was initially set to conclude its
session on the 10th of coming month of January...
Dear august citizen
Honorable guests
We
have initiated a comprehensive reform programme… this programme is
based on the concept that any comprehensive renaissance will not be
completed without a reform to the whole political situation in our
country and a freedom for the partisan environment so as to overcome the
falling-out and differences over the minor issues at the expense of the
core issues…
We
look to the political parties and to the groups taking part in national
dialogue to work for preparing a national document in which they would
specify the strategic interest of our nation and lay the foundation for a
sound political structure that would hold high the loyalty to the
homeland over all other partisan loyalties... And that all political
affiliation channels should be veered to work in the interest of the
homeland not in the narrow interests of political entities...
The
other pillar of reform is that which is related to the state reform in
which we have so far achieved great strides, through the adoption of the
principle of transparency in the public performance of the state, and
also adopted the programme for combatting corruption, and realizing
piety in dealing with public money...
The
relevant laws and regulations related to the erection of the corruption
combat authority will soon be issued, after the legislature passed the
overall governing laws…
The
state reform programs will continue towards their lofty ends, improving
the service provision for the people and remedying of all
irregularities in the civil service, putting in place legislations
related to the legal reform… as the legal reform is the door to all
other reform…
We
will not have any peace of mind until all structures that would cement
the state of law and the state of institution, are in place…
At
the top of our priority in the state reform program, is improving the
livelihood of the people and securing their basic daily needs….
Let
us thank God the Almighty Who saved us against sliding into
bankruptcy... the guess was that upon the separation of south Sudan,
Sudanese economy would collapse, but Allah Who possess the treasure of
the earth and the skies, arranged all for us in a way that we were able
to overcome the chock successfully through the three year economic
reform programme that south to restore the stability of the national
economy and reign the galloping daily inflation…
While
we celebrate the memory of the independence anniversary, let us remind
each other of the success that the Sudan has achieved during the past
few years, notwithstanding the difficulties and the embargo, the legally
unjustified embargo imposed by unjust powers, without any logic,
particularly after Sudan has met all its international legal and
constitutional commitments. But that attitude remained with them,
providing mirage promises that would be considered by thirty water…
we
have come to know their intentions and we understand their mentality,
and thus we depended on Allah the lord of the two worlds, and thus here
we are entering the second year in our five year economic reform
programme which comes under the slogan of boosting production for
export, improve the living conditions of the people …
This
was the central pole of our election programme, and we will give due
concern to this matter, following it up daily until our economy is
unleashed and moves towards better and wider horizons.. We want to
reward our people for their patience and tolerance
Today
we want to announce to our people that we will overcome these
challenges through the implementation of the government plan that seeks
to boost the productive sectors in the agriculture and industrial
domains, redress the imbalance in the trade in a way that would ensure
stability of our national economy and prosperity for our people.
Dear august people
The
blessing of security which Allah bestowed on us the people of the
Sudan, amid surrounding world full of political and security
instabilities… this blessing require our appreciation and thanks…
There
is no doubt that the modernism which remained the essential criteria
that characterized our people who have adopted tolerance and rejection
of fundamentalism and extremism … these are the reasons, in addition to
the blessing of Allah, that prevented or people from sliding into the
cycle of hatred and violence… thus comes out call for international
institutional reform, and for ending grievances and lifting injustice
from oppressed people , for ending the illegal occupation and settlement
in accordance with the international legitimacy and international
resolutions.
Dear brother and sisters
Sudan's
foreign policy remained stable in its declared positions of
noninterference in the domestic affairs of others and of adopting a good
neighborhood policy, respecting the sovereignty of other states…
Thus
we have become a center for which brothers flock and our country has
become an accepted mediator in many of the regional conflict… our
relations have also witnessed a steady developments with brothers and
friends… from here we send a sincere greeting to the kingdom of Saudi
Arabia which is leading an international coalition for the restoration
of the legitimacy in Yemen… our stand has been a solidarity because of
the importance of stability for all Arab countries… our greeting for the
United Arab Emirates, for Kuwait and for the state of Qatar and for
other Arab and African countries who have been supporting our country
and coordinating with it in the regional and international forum, and we
do appreciate the role and interaction of the African Union towards
finding a number of questions related to the African home.
Internationally
we have adopted a policy that is based on openness, balance and
cooperation for creating a world in w which justice and democracy
prevail….
We
have spared no efforts in contributing towards achieving peace and
stability in our immediate neighbors, we gave particular priority to the
diplomacy of development, trade, economy and investment…
We
will continue our diplomacy in strengthening the bonds and joint
interests and in contributing to the stability of the people and their
countries… in this context we would like to reaffirm our keenness the
restoration of stability and peace to the republic of south Sudan,
reaffirming once again our keenness to implement the agreements that we
signed with it and our support for the agreement concluding by the
parties to the conflict there.
In
this celebration of our national day anniversary, we greet our gallant
armed forces that protect the soil of the homeland and display all in
its power to secure its dignity and pride…
we
are aware that today the battle field is not only in the military
operation scenes…we are aware the enemies are planning to undermine our
resolve and to sow the seeds of demoralize us… because the enemy want us
to be a nations engulfed by depression and demoralized, to be
nonproductive nation…thus the challenge facing us is to resist all
malignant attempts and to inspire our people into production and work,
to reply to the national call, from which we will not deviate …
Therefore
we urge our media to be inspired by the lofty meanings of the
independence and to lead a campaign for national construction.. Seeking
the interests of the homeland and its future … let the media be at the
heart of the battle... The media is a sharper weapon in today's world…
The
independence anniversary coincides with the launch of the biggest human
development project in the history of our homeland… with programs that
center on provision of basic services to the people starting with
education, particularly the basic education whose budget have doubled
more than once, and the provision of Saudi funding which is evaluated by
the World Bank as worth more than 150 million us dollars…
The
programme of the primary health care which is tripled from 840 million
to 2.1 billion Sudanese pounds for the year 2016 and also the inclusion
of additional new 500 health units, the full rehabilitation of 200 rural
hospitals and the creation of 20 new reference hospitals, and advance
diagnosis centers…
In
addition to this there are the drinking water projects that seek to
resolve the problem of drinking water once and for ever, with the
support and backing of our brothers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait.
The
independence coincides with other major irrigation project after the
completion of the construction of the dam and we expect the irrigated
areas to increase by 4 million fedans, that it is a double of the area
that was irrigated during all the six decades that followed our
independence.
Work
will continue in the infrastructures of the roads and electricity,
prepare the climate for investment in the huge Sudanese resources in the
agriculture, oil, mining and investment in the informatics and
continuation in the reform programs of the institutions of the civil
services to reach the desired level of effective performance.
Dear compatriots
Dear guests present here
The
real independence is to be inspired by the loft values of genuinely
adhering to the homeland, discharge our duties in honesty, be sincere in
serving the grand objectives of development and construction.
Farmers
in the field serve the independent by doubling their production, and
productivities, industrialists in their factories would cement the
meaning of independence through double efforts and improving their
produce, employees in the civil service and the scholar and professors
and teachers are the main pillars of the state… through their sincerity
and the devotion… the youth and the students and the fuel and energy
that serve as impetus for this nation and its future hope. Women and the
half of the community through their contribution we would complete the
real meaning of independence…
