The Sudanese pledged allegiance to Imam Al-Mahdi, peace be upon him, with their wealth, hope, and children to support this principle, and they sacrificed their lives for it. They fulfilled what they pledged to God. Today, we are following the path they walked. Therefore, our call for independence is neither sectarian nor partisan, but rather a national call whose benefits will encompass all of Sudan, God willing. The history of the Mahdiya, its struggle, and the liberation achieved at its hands was the effort of all Sudanese and their collective pride. Likewise, the responsibility was shared among everyone. The national movement to liberate the country today is based on that struggle and that history. And after Sudan has formed a force to achieve its great goals through the unity of its sons, open your hearts to all citizens, be patient and persevere until God completes His favor upon you and the country by completing its sovereignty and independence, and its lasting happiness and stability. The country is currently going through a period of security unrest within the circles of many of you. Do not allow it to spread among the tribes, and assist the officials in achieving security and stability. You are the representatives of the nation and the guardians of security, peace, and harmony among its people. You must not pay attention to bodies that you think are associated with local officials here or there in some actions, as they do not concern you from your sacred duty towards your country, especially in this critical period that requires overlooking, tolerance, and strong cohesion so that the country's ship may reach the shore of safety, God willing. And hold fast, especially to reassuring the residents among you, and securing their lives and property. Fear God in yourselves, your country, and others, and remember that whoever is for God, God is for him, and God does not lose the reward of those who do good deeds.

The National Government's Demand During this period, November 1955, following the rebellion in the South and the subsequent political anxiety over the country's fate and internal security unrest, the opposition front moved to demand the establishment of a national government in which government and opposition parties would participate and lead the country towards self-determination. The opposition made numerous contacts with the Prime Minister for this purpose, but they were repeatedly told that the Unionist Party was insistent on remaining in power alone until self-determination. It was natural for the opposition to then turn to Parliament to see if it could bring down the government from within. They did so on the tenth of November when they submitted a motion of no confidence in its economic policies and security affairs. In that meeting, the opposition fell.
