...they are as human beings. That should scare us. And in that 10,000 are some very violent people that left a lockup unit like Pelican Bay [to go] right back to the streets - that should scare us. What should scare us is our broken policy and not the fact that 40,000 more are going to come out because we should be scared already...
...rebels, so there are [a number of deaths] among the rebels and members of the armed forces. There are also tribal conflicts, which are not connected to any ethnic group [in particular]; it is not, as portrayed, an "ethnic war." Most of the intra-tribal fighting in fact is between tribes of Arab origins over resources because years of drought that hit the area made the scarcity of resources one reason for conflict; between nomads and peasants; and between nomads themselves because grazing lands have become limited due to the decline in rainfall.

The movement of citizens toward government-controlled areas seeking security is evidence that the government could not be responsible...
...choice is that of the Sudanese people. That is a democratic choice, and we are absolutely committed to having elections next year. In fact, we are the party that insists the most on having these elections because this is a commitment to the Sudanese people. As I mentioned earlier, our honesty and clarity with our people is what has made us withstand for 20 years. We are ready to accept any result, and we call on anyone who wishes to observe these elections to come to Sudan and we will make it possible for them to move...
