Election a farce……but yet there’s aint no alternative they have so far

Looking at the upcoming election in Sudan, the ruling president Omar al-Bashir, representing the National Congress Party (NCP) who came to power in a coup in 1989 is wanted by the International Criminal Court at The Hague for alleged crime against humanity.
Some facts :-
i) the government in Khartoum, under the current President has bludgeoned the disaffected inhabitants of the western region of Darfur since the start of a rebellion in 2003, killing some 300,000 of them and displacing another 3m.(source Economist).
ii) Opposition candidate from the north, leader of the Umma Party, Mariam al-Mahdi is not being able to find her voters in her strong constituency. Either they vanished or they never existed. The conclusion drawn by the Umma Party that the National Election Commission has boosted the number of registered voters in the places where the NCP thinks people will vote for it and under-registered neighborhoods where its opponents are strong. (source Economist)
iii) Ms. Mahdi decides to boycott the poll at every level, the Communist Party has already pulled out, the main southern opposition party, the Sudan People’s liberation Movement (SPLM) withdrew its presidential candidate giving Mr. Bashir a virtual walk-over. (source Economist)
 Notwithstanding the current political mayhem, throughout history, Sudan has always been known as an oil rich country attracting a bulk of Chinese investments into Africa. The country is heading towards a partition into North and South Sudan. Post partition most of the oil produce will be left in the north.. This also leads to questionable inference. Considering past records in many other oil rich countries that suffered a coup, the leader following such cataclysm is often chosen by the CIA. ‘This week, at an evening rally in Khartoum for the Islamist Popular Congress Party, a lawyer in a flowing jellabiya repeatedly denounced Mr. Bashir as a liar, accused him of being a hypocrite and a stooge of the CIA’. Sudan won its freedom from the British in 1956 and since then most of the black Christians were pushed to the south of Sudan thereby living under the oppressive rule of the North.
However ‘charadic’ it may be, in my opinion if this election brings freedom to the southerners in Sudan, so be it. Mr. Bashir in all current possibility may win the election effortlessly but on so happening if he let the south leave Sudan peacefully and let the creation of south Sudan it would still be some good.
