作为苏丹人民解放运动的领导人,约翰·加朗的“新苏丹”论主要包括以下内容:建立一个不分种族、民族、宗教、性别、出身的人人平等的苏丹;全国实现资源共享,平衡发展;实现中央权力重组,摒弃军人政权,反对宗教政党统治,地方实行自治或联邦;建立一个民主、世俗、统一的新苏丹。加朗的“新苏丹”曾为苏丹指明了前进的方向。然而,随着南苏丹共和国的建立,加朗的新苏丹梦破灭。纵然如此,加朗提出的平等、自由、发展、民主等问题仍将是南苏丹面临的主要任务。
As the leader of Sudan's people liberation movement, the theory of the new Sudan proposed by John Garang mainly includes four points in the following: to build a new Sudan in which all Sudanese are equals irrespective of racial origin, ethniei- ty, religion, sex or birth; all parts of the country can share the resources and have the balanced development; to restructure the power of the central government and oppose the military regime and the sectarianism, advocate the autonomy or federation in the districts, to build a new Sudan which is democratic, secular and united. The theory of the new Sudan has shown clearly Sudan's advanced direction. However, with the establishment of the Southern Sudan Republic, John Garang's new Sudan dream disillusions. Notwithstanding, the problems such as equality, freedom, development and democracy put forward by John Garang are still the main tasks which the Southern Sudan Republic has to face.
