Another claim made by the United States when it declared
Sudan to be a "terrorist state" was that of human rights viola-
tions in the south of the country. What was really happening,
however, was a struggle being waged against the violent ac-
tions perpetrated by rebels opposed to the Islamic regime. The
ANTI-ISLAMIC FORCES
rebels are still waging their fight with support from the West,
SUPPORT and despite a statement from President al-Bashir that the rebels
would be allowed to go if they gave up their arms, all calls for
SEPARATISTS IN peace have been ignored.
Yet the United States declared Sudan to be a terrorist state in
SOUTHERN SUDAN August 1993, although it had no concrete proof. Following that,
economic sanctions were imposed, IMF and World Bank aid was
cut off, and an arms embargo was imposed on the region. Food
aid for Sudan was also cut off. The pictures show Christian
rebels in southern Sudan.
