1983 CE

Nimeiry seeks to counter the south's growing political power by redividing the Southern Region into the three old provinces of Bahr al Ghazal, Al Istiwai, and Aali an Nil on June 5, 1983; he had suspended the Southern Regional Assembly almost two years earlier.

The southern-based Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and its military wing, the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA), which emerges in mid-1983, unsuccessfully oppose this redivision and call for the creation of a new united Sudan.
