Islamic Revival

The leaders of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) have recently made several statements on the future of Southern Sudan, indicating clearly that Southern Sudan is proceeding towards secession, which is exactly what America has been scheming for. This crime could not have been perpetrated had it not been for the treason of the Sudanese rulers, headed by Omar al-Bashir, and for their collaboration with America. His empty rhetoric of heroism is but a ploy to deceive the Ummah and absorb her anger in Sudan and abroad, and a botched attempt to absolve himself of the blame for adopting on 9 January 2005, together with his cronies, the Naivasha Agreement, which stipulated that the fate of a section of the Muslims’ lands should be put to an independence referendum.

They rode the camels in turn heading towards a caravan led by Abu Sufyan. As they marched on, they sought news of the caravan until they had reached the valley of Dafran where they settled, and news reached them there that the Quraysh had set out from Makkah to protect their caravan.

So Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم consulted the Muslims. Abu Bakr and then ‘Umar voiced their opinions, then al-Miqdad ibn ‘Amr arose and said, "O Messenger of Allah!
