Declaration of Independence (Final)
Declaration of Independence Sudan We the people of Sudan have united together against this discriminatory form of government to declare the freedom we rightfully deserve. Our government has been terrorizing our people by torturing, raping, slaughtering and the forced transfer of children into becoming slaves. As citizens of Sudan we have had our natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our government has allowed these rights to be obstructed, broken and they have been taken from us. They have breached their purpose thereby they now will face the consequences. Our government is currently misapplying its power by not respecting our rights. In order to prove this we have created a list of abuses made by the government. Abridgment of the citizens’ right to change their government Illegally authorizing unlawful killings by government forces and other government groups. Tortures, beatings, rapes and other cruel, inhumane treatment and punishment by security forces Unpleasant and very harsh prison conditions Unpredictable arrests and punishments, extended pretrial detention Their right to plead guilty/non guilty is not present when held in a detention or when arrested Executive interference with the judiciary and denial of due process Restrictions of privacy Restriction on freedom of speech Restrictions on freedoms of assembly, association, religion and movement Harassment of IDP’s Harassment and closure of human rights organizations Violence and bias against women, including female genital mutilation Child abuse, including sexual assault and recruitment of child soldiers especially in Darfur Preventing international human rights observers from traveling to and within Sudan Trafficking in persons Bias and violence against ethnic minorities Denial of workers’ rights and forced child labor There have been many requests for redress in differential terms, one of which was in 2006 there was the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), which was soon disobeyed by the government when conflict and human rights abuses continued in Darfur. Therefore, the people of Sudan must declare our independence from their corrupt government and to institute a new government that values the people’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We, the people of Sudan hereby declare ourselves independent and separate from our current government. Our rights have been denied to us and we are now taking action, this is not a declaration of war or treaty of peace. This is our separation from our current government and becoming an independent nation. The new government will be based on our people’s best interests and will respect our rights as citizens.

Declaration of Independence Sudan

When certain human events occur that one group proclaims are against beliefs it is that groups right to declare independence from another group. It also becomes their right to declare the reasons why they find this is necessary for them.

The people of Sudan believe that all people are born equal. We are looked upon and should be treated the same and that is with dignity and respect. We are born with the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If these rights are challenged or altered by a certain group it is the right of the people to destroy or abolish it. Then to institute new government for the people. This government will respect our rights and follow them. In order to prove that the people of Sudan have reason for seeking abolishment of their government a list of abuses is needed.

• Abridgment of the citizens’ right to change their government •Not legally authorized and other unlawful killings by government forces and other government like groups throughout the country •Tortures, beatings, rapes and other cruel, inhumane treatment and punishment by security forces •Unpleasant, harsh prison conditions •Unpredictable arrests and punishments, extended pretrial detention •Their right to plead guilty/non guilty is not present when held in a detention or when arrested •Executive interference with the judiciary and denial of due process •Restrictions of privacy •Restriction on freedom of speech •Restrictions on freedoms of assembly, association, religion and movement •Harassment of IDP’s •Harassment and closure of human rights organizations •Violence and bias against women, including female genital mutilation •Child abuse, including sexual assault and recruitment of child soldiers especially in Darfur •Preventing international human rights observers from traveling to and within Sudan •Trafficking in persons •Bias and violence against ethnic minorities •Denial of workers’ rights and forced child labor

There have been many requests for redress in differential terms; in 2006 there was the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), which was soon disobeyed by the government when conflict and human rights abuses continued in Darfur. Then the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for President Bashir on five counts of crimes including murder, extermination, torture, rape, and transferring people forcefully. We have been denied our protection and many other things and now we will become independent. Therefore, we the people of Sudan declare that we have the right to become independent. Our rights have been denied to us and now we will institute a new government that will protect our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We disavow to be punished and harmed in the ways this government has. We now deserve to have the rights that other independent states have.
