On Dec 22, the National Congress Party (NCP) government headed by President Omar al-Bashir pushed through the National Assembly a South Sudan referendum bill with terms unacceptable to the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM). On Dec 20, the NCP dominated National Assembly adopted a revised National Security Act over the objections of the SPLM, which protested the absence of parliamentary oversight and accountability for the security services.

“Once again the NCP has violated agreements it made with the SPLM, its supposed partner in the peace process,” said Leonard Leo of the US State Departments Commission on International Religious Freedom. “These violations are threatening to derail the CPA which provides the only existing roadmap to peace in Sudan and it is now hanging by a thread.”
