Sudan 2010 Election Campaign: A Very Early Start

Political parties are already racing to strike up deals and create coalitions nearly 8 months ahead of next year's landmark presidential campaign in Sudan. 

But more interesting to note: all the traditional majority Arab opposition parietes in the north are vying for alliance with the southern Sudan Peopel's Liberation Movement! The aim: to be able to defeat the ruling National Congress Party and put and end to nearly 20 years of rule by the Islamic Salvation Front in the country. 

The Southern capital of Juba has seen a series of meetings between those parties and some of them have already entered alliances with SPLM.
