I feel very sad when I talk about the issue of separation. Just to witness that by itself is something that drives me emotionally. But it's their right, and if the regime fails to make the unity attractive, then it's the southerners' right to have their own country.
We will be the losers--women in the north, absolutely. The regime has started to take us back to the nineties when they practised their full power against women. They are now threatening us. There are a lot of posters in Khartoum talking about the hijab, women's dresses, and things like that. So I think they are waiting for the southerners to be ready for us to again practise the old way of dealing with women.
Of course, it will be good for the south. It is their decision at the end of the day, and they have the full right. Obviously, the choice is clear that the south will separate from the north. But in all cases, the women of Sudan will continue to work together, because we have a lot of common things that bring us together.
Whether it's separation or unity, we want the process of referendum to happen safely, without any violence.
