Sudan is expanding its SSPP peace organization to the UK and North America. Vice President of Darfur Rehabilitation Project, Yahya Osman, and writer Kola Boof are to head the SSPP in America.
United States of America (Press Release) February 10, 2008 --
New York, NY January 18, 2008 -- The Juba, Sudan-based "Sudan Sensitization Peace Project" is preparing to launch a new public relations campaign in the United Kingdom and the United States for fall 2008 and have appointed
controversial Sudanese-American novelist Kola Boof to act as National Chairwoman for the organization's US branch.
The SSPP will be directed at sensitizing western blacks to the concerns of the genocide in Darfur and the probable secession of the South Sudanese government in 2011.
President and Founder of the SSPP, BF Bankie, has appointed SPLM commander and Darfur politian Yahya Osman to be President of the new North American branch of the SSPP to be based in New York City.
Yahya Osman is also Vice President of the Darfur Rehabilitation Project as well as Chairman of Foreign Officers.
Famed Mauritanian writer-activist Garba Diallo will head a new branch in Denmark.
Conflict arose at BF Bankie's choice of the half-Arab writer, Kola Boof, because she was recently accused by a Diplomat of Sudan's Arab government in Khartoum of being "legally married" to terrorist Osama Bin Laden and giving birth to their child in 1996. Members of both the SPLM and SSPP categorically dismissed these attacks against Boof, calling them "more ugly lies to demonize, scandalize and silence Kola Boof".
Kola Boof, a former spy for the SPLA, has indeed been embattled and demonized by all manner of press and internet trolls, but accepted her
role as National Chairwoman and is hopeful of U.S. support for the
South Sudanese government.
One plan for implementing the American Branch of the SSPP is to have legendary entertainer and politician Harry Belafonte speak on the peace organization's behalf at a fundraising event in June at Professor Dani Nabudere's Marcus Garvey Pan-African Institute in Mbale, Uganda. The event is already booked.
The U.S. branch of the group will kick off in September 2008 with an event rally in Manhattan. President Yahya Osman and the SSPP also hope to attract actor and long time supporter Danny Glover, and activists Joe Madison, Munta Matsimela and Maria Sliwa.
The SSPP was founded by BF Bankie in 2002 as a "peace and information historical society" to coincide with the South army's SPLA movement. Many members of the SSPP are also members of the SPLM/A.
Officials of the SSPP can be reached in Juba, Sudan by email or by phone at the Global African Congress in Johannesburg, South Africa. A website for the organization will be launched in September, 2008.
