If the animists and Christians in the south, the Darfuris in the west, the Nubians in the north, and, as you mention, restive tribes in the east all hate the government, just what is the dominant group in the country?

There's one problem though. No break away from Khartoum will occur peacefully. More importantly, al-Bashir feels a lot of distrust towards the United States now. After all, his government signed the CPA with the SPLM, yet the American sanctions remained in place and Sudan stayed in the list of terrorism sponsoring countries. Keep in mind that Sudan at the moment is cooperating heavily with the CIA in terrorism related matters. Al-Bashir feels betrayed and he's very much determined to stay in power. What's needed before anything else is keeping the fragile peace from collapsing.

It sounds like for the first time, there's actually real power inside Sudan to counter the Khartoum government. That could actually be the best thing, as it means the the previously powerless may now have the leverage to break away from the yoke of Khartoum peacefully.
