Abstract:On June 5th, 1983, the president declared the division of the former Southern Region into three small and weak regions to be known as Bahr el Ghazal, Equatoria and Upper Nile. This meant abrogation of the Addis Ababa agreement. The Southern Provinces Regional Self-Rule Act (1972) was abrogated without complying with 8 of the Sudan Permanent Constitution. Constitutional safeguards were swept away. The South was then and now reminded in no uncertain terms that the wishes and aspirations of Southern people do not matter. It is the will of the Central Government that has to be followed fron now onwards.
