On Tuesday, October 11, people from all walks of life trooped to the Saha Alkhadra Park in the northern part of Khartoum to listen to President Omar al-Bashir proclaim the “rebirth” of a nation.
He also joined the crowd in celebrating the signing of the National Dialogue Accord the previous day. The accord seeks to introduce a new governance style, change the constitution and usher in a government of national unity that incorporates the opposition and ends the rebellions in Darfur, Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile.
