toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) =

We, the people of Sudan, have endured. They have endured harsh weather, warfare with other countries, and their own government. However, in recent years that government that they have endured has become corrupt, enforcing laws that conflict the people’s natural rights. The rights of our people, citizens of Sudan, have been violated long enough, and in the following statements the government will see their wrong.

The government is supposed to give us, the people, their natural rights, rights that people possess just by being born into the world. The first right is meant to protect the right that citizens are free, with no arbitrary deprivation of life or inhumane treatment. The second implies that we, the people of Sudan have civil liberties, like a right to freedom of speech, press, etc. These rights have been violated, and we need to put a stop to that.

The government has done a number of actions that they say are for “the greater good”. These actions include things that violate our natural rights. Among a lengthy list of grievances, there are some that are more important than others. For example, the government has supported the Janjawid, a dangerous branch of the Arabian militia. The Janjawid and our own militia, under government instruction, have proceeded to bomb villages in Darfur and South Sudan, then go in, rape surviving women and children, and then those who survive that they take captive. Other grievances that have to be addressed are those that fall under the ‘Civil Rights violation’ category. Our people, normal civilians, have been denied public trial and publicly flogged, but even some rapists and murderers have walked away free of punishment. People’s privacies have been invaded, whether it is at home or abroad. Members of assembly have been beaten and arrested, and there have been numerous occasions of persecution and discrimination against Sudanese Muslims. For those who have been taken captive or arrested, the prison conditions are harsh to say the least. And last but not least, there are the children. Child soldiers have been recruited as early as the age of ten, and taken from their homes. Some of those children who live in villages that have been invaded by the Janjawid have been abducted, raped, or used as slaves, or a combination of all three. Above all, these abuses and grievances must stop.

These grievances and abuses leave us no choice but to break free and overthrow the current government. //You// leave us no choice but to break free. In conclusion of all these points, we declare our independence from this government, and we will overthrow you and form our own. It is necessary that we do this to ensure a longer lasting government, better welfare, and for the betterment of our own society. That is our final decision, we are not turning back.
