Last week he managed to find southerners to fill three Cabinet posts reserved for the south. Next step: southern elections, which the insurgency has so far made impossible. Speaking to Parliament last week, Mahgoub said, "Our main duty is to face the great challenge of realizing security and stability, and pressing forward with the revival of democracy after six years of military oppression."

El Mahdi hopes to form a broad conservative coalition Cabinet as the first step in reunifying the Sudan. To end the Negro rebellion, he plans to offer the south "a large measure of local self-government," guarantee it at least three posts on the 15-member Cabinet, outlaw discrimination. He also intends to push for a constitution that would give the added stability of a presidential government-and stipulate that the Vice President...
