Sudan says UNAMID personnel have history of sexual abuse

November 25, 2014 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese government said that it has documented cases of sexual abuse of Darfuri women committed by members of the African Union-United Nations Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) that the latter has not taken any action to stop.

The Sudanese Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Abdullah al-Azrag said today that Khartoum’s decision to have the UNAMID depart was subject of careful review and was discussed with the United Nations previously stressing that it was not in retaliation to rape allegations in the village of Tabit.

On November 22nd, the hybrid mission said it received a verbal request from the Sudanese government to put in place a gradual exit strategy from Darfur.

Social media has extensively circulated testimonies of victims from Tabit, a village 45km south-west of North Darfur capital El-Fasher, claiming that 200 women, including minors, were raped by soldiers from the Sudanese army (SAF).

On November 9th, a UNAMID verification team investigated the rape allegations in Tabit and said it found no evidence proving the rape claims.

Sudan has refused to allow the mission access to Tabit to conduct another investigation despite repeated calls from the UN chief and the UNSC.

Al-Azrag said in a roundtable with newspaper editors on Tuesday that foreign minister Ali Karti discussed a UNAMID exit strategy with the Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon three years ago and in several occasions most recently in the UN General Assembly meetings.

The UN Security Council adopted resolution 2173 on August 27 which extended the UNAMID mandate for ten months and called on the mission to draft recommendations for the future mandate, composition, configuration and exit strategy of UNAMID by 28 February 2015, at which time the Council would make the necessary mandate changes “fully and promptly”.

Al-Azrag recalled a memorandum by the ministry demanding UNAMID develop an exit strategy and speeches by Sudan’s UN ambassador when discussing the renewal of the UNAMID mandate all of which occurred before rape allegations in the village of Tabit surfaced.

He said that UNAMID departure is enshrined in the in the Status of Force Agreement (SOFA) and that demanding its departure is a result of significant improvement in security situation particularly over the last year which necessitated emphasizing the development of an exit strategy in light of the reluctance and lack of enthusiasm on the part of UNAMID, which raised suspicions and stirred tensions.

In response to criticisms by the UNAMD investigation team that Sudanese soldiers were present during their Tabit probe, al-Azrag said they have a document where the mission requests that the armed forces protect their camp.

He said that the Darfur special prosecutor found no evidence of the rape claims adding that they are aware of attempts by certain organizations to recruit women to make false testimonies and a video conference call arranged by a neighboring state with women from Tabit.

The Sudanese official added that they spotted sexual violations committed by UNAMID soldiers against Darfuri girls and women over the years in which the mission camps have become a haven for the perpetrators of crimes but could not prosecuted by authorities due to diplomatic immunity enjoyed by them.

Al-Azrag said that UNAMID never held anyone accountable nor expelled those implicated in these acts noting that they raised that issue through diplomatic channels and not over the media.

He argued that UNAMID is keen to stay in the region and does not adhere to SOFA and its personnel are living a luxury life on a $1.3 billion budget much of it was not spent on infrastructure and development in Darfur.

“The improved security conditions and the talks in Addis Ababa with the [Darfur] rebel movements are worrying some circles that do not want stability to Darfur because their interest [lies] in the continuation of the current situation to settle scores with the government," al-Azrag said.

المعارضة السودانية تطالب المجتمع الدولي بفرض حظر للطيران فوق مناطق الحرب

أصبح ضرورة ملحة أكثر من أي وقت مضى

06-21-2014 02:14 AM

لندن: مصطفى سري
طالبت المعارضة السودانية المسلحة والسلمية بفرض حظر الطيران على مناطق الحرب في جنوب كردفان، النيل الأزرق، ودارفور، لحماية المدنيين في تلك المناطق، وشددت المعارضة على ضرورة تسريح وتجريد ميليشيا قوات الدعم السريع التابعة لجهاز الأمن والمخابرات من سلاحها، ودعت قوى معارضة في لندن إلى مظاهرة اليوم أمام مقر رئيس الوزراء البريطاني للتنديد بما وصفته بـ«جرائم النظام الحاكم»، بمناسبة مرور 25 عاما على وصوله للسلطة عبر الانقلاب العسكري بقيادة عمر البشير، في وقت أعلن فيه والي جنوب كردفان أن القوات الحكومية تمكنت من تحرير 53 موقعا في الأجزاء الشرقية من ولايته، خلال العمليات التي أطلقت عليها الخرطوم «الصيف الحاسم»، لإنهاء حركات التمرد.

وقال المتحدث باسم الحركة الشعبية في السودان ارنو لادو لـ«الشرق الأوسط» إن الشعب السوداني ظل يكرر مطالبته للمجتمع الدولي بضرورة فرض حظر الطيران في مناطق الحرب بجنوب كردفان، النيل الأزرق، ودارفور، وأضاف: «على المجتمع الدولي أن يترك سلبيته باتخاذ خطوات جادة وعملية بفرض حظر الطيران الذي يستهدف المدنيين والمؤسسات المدنية ودور العبادة»، وقال إن المجتمع الدولي بصمته أعطى الفرصة للنظام الحاكم في السودان لمواصلة حرب الإبادة الجماعية، مثلما حدث في دارفور قبل عشر سنوات، والآن تتكرر في جنوب كردفان والنيل الأزرق، وتابع: «نظام البشير يسعى لإخلاء هذه المناطق من المواطنين حتى يحدث تغييرا سكانيا بإبعاد السكان الأصليين، وشهدنا ذلك في دارفور بإحلال مواطنين استقدموا من الخارج والداخل مكان آخرين»، وقال إن الطيران الحكومي يستهدف المدنيين الأبرياء من الأطفال والنساء والشيوخ والمؤسسات المدنية من مستشفيات ومدارس ومنازل.

من جانبه، قال المتحدث باسم حركة العدل والمساواة جبريل آدم بلال لـ«الشرق الأوسط» إن فرض حظر الطيران في مناطق الحرب أصبح ضرورة ملحة أكثر من أي وقت مضى، وأضاف أن الحكومة السودانية ما زالت تواصل الجرائم ضد الإنسانية وجرائم الإبادة في دارفور، النيل الأزرق وجنوب كردفان باستهداف المدنيين، وقال: «إضافة للقصف الجوي، فإن نظام البشير يستخدم ميليشيا قوات الدعم السريع التي ترتكب الجرائم دون أي محاسبة، ومن ينتقدها يودع في السجن، كما هو حادث لرئيس حزب المؤتمر السوداني إبراهيم الشيخ»، منتقدا موقف المجتمع الدولي لما يحدث في بلاده، ووصفه بـ«الفاشل»، وتابع: «أمام المجتمع الدولي فرصة لتصحيح أخطاء صمته بأن يفرض حظرا للطيران على مناطق الحرب اليوم قبل الغد والإسراع في القبض على مجرمي الحرب، وعلى رأسهم الرئيس عمر البشير».

من جهته، طالب القيادي في الحزب الشيوعي السوداني الدكتور الشفيع خضر سعيد بفرض حظر الطيران في مناطق الحرب لحماية المدنيين ووقف الهجمات الجوية التي يشنها الطيران الحكومي، وقال: «المأساة الإنسانية في تلك المناطق لا يمكن تجاهلها»، وعد الوضع في السودان قاتما وفيه توتر كبير، وقال إن «هناك محاولة لتوسيع رقعة الحرب لتشمل مناطق أوسع»، واصفا جلب الحكومة لقوات الدعم السريع تحت ذريعة حماية العاصمة الخرطوم بعدم المسؤولية، وأن ذلك سيدخل البلاد إلى نفق أكثر ظلاما، وتابع: «الحكومة تحاول الاستمرار في السلطة، حتى إذا دعا الأمر أن تجلس فوق جماجم الشعب السوداني».

إلى ذلك، قال والي ولاية جنوب كردفان آدم الفكي، إن القوات المسلحة السودانية تمكنت، منذ انطلاق عمليات «الصيف الحاسم»، من تحرير 53 موقعا بالأجزاء الشرقية من ولايته، كانت تسيطر عليها قوات الحركة الشعبية، قطاع الشمال، وأضاف أن «عام 2014 شهد تحسنا في أوضاع المواطنين الأمنية، بفضل الانتصارات التي حققتها القوات المسلحة والقوات النظامية الأخرى، خاصة في المنطقة الشرقية»، مؤكدا أن الأيام المقبلة ستشهد مزيدا من السيطرة الحكومية على المنطقة الشرقية، مشيرا إلى اتساع الدائرة الأمنية حول مدينة كادوقلي عاصمة الولاية، وأن ذلك سيعزز من استقرار المواطنين ويساعد في تنفيذ مشاريع التنمية التي قال إنها توقفت بسبب الظروف الأمنية، داعيا حملة السلاح إلى تعليب خيار السلام.

غير أن المتحدث باسم الحركة الشعبية ارنو لادو وصف تصريحات الوالي بأنها لا تحمل أي جديد، وقال: «كيف يفرح الوالي بأنه حرر عددا من المناطق لم يكن يعترف بها أصلا من قبل؟»، وأضاف أن الوالي ظل يكرر هذه التصريحات الجوفاء، ولكن الواقع أمر آخر، والمشكلة ليست في المناطق التي تسيطر عليها حكومته، وإنما المدنيون الذين يستهدفهم الطيران الحكومي كل يوم، وتابع: «الحكومة صرفت مبالغ كبيرة وجيوشا ضخمة لحملتها العسكرية التي أطلقت عليها الصيف الحاسم، ولكن الحملة لم تنجح فيما عدا استهدافها للمدنيين»، وقال: «تصريحات الوالي صحيحة في شيء واحد؛ أن حكومته نجحت في استهداف المدنيين، في قتلهم وتشريدهم وتدمير المؤسسات المدنية».

Senior SPLM official resigns, accuses South Sudan president of “failure”

June 3, 2014 (JUBA) – A senior official in the South Sudan’s ruling party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), has resigned from the party, accusing South Sudan’s president, Salva Kiir, of "failure" and a "lack of vision" in governing the country.

Peter Adwok Nyaba, who was a member of the highest legislative organ of the party, the National Liberation Council (NLC), declared his resignation in a 1 June letter seen by Sudan Tribune, addressed to the party’s chairman Kiir.

Nyaba said the ruling party had abandoned the ideology that propelled it to popularity both in the country and abroad and resorted to conspiracies against able colleagues soon after the demise of its former founder, John Garang de Mabior, who established the movement in May 1983.

The senior party politician, who is currently confined to Juba and denied movement abroad, said president Kiir’s sustained negative attitude over the years has subsequently resulted to the current crisis the country is embroiled.

“Mr Chairman, you will recall that between August 2005 and October 2007, backbiting, double-crossing, double-talking and outright conspiracies against specific comrades in the leadership characterized the SPLM internal condition. This culminated in the attempts during the SPLM 2nd National Convention 2008 to remove Dr. Riek Machar Teny-Dhurgon and Pagan Amum Okiech from their positions as SPLM first deputy Chairman and SPLM Secretary General respectively", partly reads Adwok’s letter.

"The reasons for that attempt to remove the two leaders from the SPLM hierarchy were not sufficiently explained,” adds the long letter.

He further went on to accuse the party chairman of reducing the democratic reforms in the party into a struggle for power in which he sought military confrontation.

“It is inconceivable that you reduced to a struggle for power the disputes over democratic reforms in the SPLM. Political and ideological differences in a political party are inevitable. However, they are resolved not through military confrontation but through democratic dialogue and debates aimed at uniting the ranks and file,” he stressed.

Nyaba further accused the president of violating the constitution by mobilising, recruiting and training a private army hailing from Warrap and Northern Bahr el Ghazal states and massacred thousands of civilians from Machar’s ethnic Nuer community in Juba.

“This was blatant violation of the constitution. You cannot possess a private army besides the SPLA of which you are Commander in Chief,” he said.

He said the ruling party and the government should come out clearly and acknowledge the crime in which innocent civilians were massacred by the regime because of an alleged coup attempt.

“The SPLM leadership and the Government of South Sudan have not to date acknowledged the massacre of ethnic Nuers in Juba. The SPLM government has not told the people of South Sudan the truth about what transpired on December 15, 2013 apart from the coup attempt attributed to Dr. Riek Machar,” he added, further stressing that “The people of South Sudan want to know the linkage between the coup attempt, which occurred in Tiger Battalion, and the massacring of the ethnic Nuers in the residential suburbs of Juba.”

He further pointed out that among the issues that propelled his resignation was “South Sudan’s current context of ubiquitous ethicized conflicts, insecurity in the rural and urban domains driven by land grabbing with impunity, corruption, disappearances and assassination of political dissidents, stagnation and lack of development, and now the civil strife.”

PREVENTED FROM LEAVING JUBA

Nyaba, who was briefly detained in December last year for an alleged coup attempt “with no evidence“ said the national security service has since refused to return his passports to enable him travel for specialised medical attention.

“They told [me] clearly that I have to remain in Juba to ‘feel the heat’, whatever it means,” he revealed.

He accused the government of exhibiting its inhumane attitude when they could not let him even to travel and visit his wife who was in critical condition in a Kenyan hospital.

“I am denied my passport and therefore could not be by the side of my wife, when she underwent a five hours operation in Nairobi Hospital,” he lamented.

He said because of the situation the country is in due to the lack of responsible leadership in Juba, he had to resign.

“Given these facts, and in view of the fact that the SPLM under your leadership is prosecuting a civil war, I do not want, by virtue of being a member of the SPLM, to be privy to the some of the horrendous crimes being committed against the people of South Sudan," wrote the ex-minister for higher education.

“I, also, do not want to be privy to the transformation of the SPLM into a totalitarian machine, and an oppressive regime that is destroying South Sudan. I am therefore in all dignity and honour submitting my resignation from the SPLM as of June 1st, 2014,” he concluded.

Nyaba, a university professor who holds a PhD in Geology, was seriously wounded on his leg when he led a battle to capture Jekou, the first town to be captured by the SPLM/A in 1986 at the Ethiopian border with South Sudan’s Upper Nile state.

In 1991, however, he defected together with Machar, accusing late John Garang of dictatorship, but later abandoned Machar in mid 1990s and returned to the SPLM/A Torit faction under the late Garang.

He was appointed minister for higher education, but was sacked in the July 2013 cabinet reshuffle.

War in the west war in the south war in the east now every where is war ....we do not need no more troubles what we need is .....

ICG: Conflict could re-erupt in East Sudan over failure to implement peace agreement

November 26, 2013 (KHARTOUM) - East Sudan could be the scene of the next conflict as grievances over the perceived lack of implementation of the 2006 peace agreement are widespread, a think-tank group warned.

In a report released today, the International Crisis Group (ICG) said that the root causes of the conflict are still in existence "and in some respects are more acute".

ICG blamed the situation over the non-implemented provisions of the East Sudan Peace Agreement (ESPA) and what it said was the divide and conquer tactics carried out by the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) in Khartoum.

"The failure to implement the ESPA, together with NCP machinations, has hopelessly divided – mostly along tribal lines – the Eastern Front (EF), the alliance of armed groups that signed the agreement" ICG said.

"To maintain dominance, the NCP has bought off tribal leaders, pursued divide-and rule tactics and established tribal militias. In recent years, it has increased support to Arab tribes, including giving them land. Under government protection, Rashayda have settled in Beja territory, especially in predominantly Beni Amer localities such as Khasm al-Gerbah (Kassala state), and Tokar, al-Ganab and al-Awlaib (Red Sea state). In early 2012, the Beni Amer came close to clashes with Rashayda who had begun artisanal gold mining in South Tokar. The intervention of elders from both tribes calmed the situation, but tensions remain and could easily escalate if security deteriorates in the region," the report outlined.

ICG said that tribal leaders are seeing this as a deliberate attempt by the NCP to Arabize the east similar to the methods used in Darfur in the years leading up to the conflict.

It also cautioned that secessionist tendencies are on the rise in Sudan’s eastern region even within the NCP base there because of the view that the centre is exploiting all their resources but sharing very little.

ICG quoted an eastern Sudanese leader as saying that he believes "in unity not separation, yet I am unable to convince the people that separation is not good for them, simply because they are fed up with Khartoum”.

"In September 2012, some activists for separation distributed a statement in Port Sudan, announcing establishment of the ‘Democratic Revolutionary Front for Eastern Sudan’s Liberation’. They called for separation from Khartoum and creation of the ‘Democratic Republic of Eastern Sudan’".

ICG noted that several eastern factions are now calling for toppling the NCP-led regime and joining the rebel coalition group known as the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF) which is fighting Khartoum in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan.

Last February, EF members issued a statement giving the central government one month to follow through on their commitments particularly the financial portion.

Under the October 2006 peace agreement, the EF joined with the government and a $600 million ERDF was established to help the region recover from war.

A further $3.5 billion pledged at a donor conference that took place in Kuwait in December 2010 was also supposed to be added to the East Reconstruction and Development Fund (ERDF).

But the EF said the money is managed inappropriately without transparency and that that the people of the East were excluded from the top posts at ERDF or were given positions without a mandate.

Eastern Sudan has the country’s highest poverty rate, the highest level of child deaths under five years old, and the most children between the ages of six and 13 out of school, says the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The three states of Red Sea, Kassala and Gedaref in the East have potential gold, oil and gas resources, but poverty remains endemic among the region’s five million inhabitants, whose livelihoods have been undermined by war, climate change and environmental degradation.

ICG noted that they had objections from the start on the ESPA on the ground that it was a continuation of the piecemeal approach in tackling Sudan’s crises.

"The ESPA was clearly a sub-national deal, however, but – pushed by Eritrea – it was “the best deal available” at the time," ICG said.

Major provisions in ESPA were not implemented as promised, the think-tank group said, including allocation of legislative and executive positions to EF in federal and state institutions, ERDF establishment as well as disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) of EF forces.

The ICG underscored the important role played by Eritrea in helping keep the peace agreement intact and its interest in doing so given the fear of conflict in East Sudan spreading to its borders "an area where Eritrean Islamist armed groups have historically operated and which continues to be a top security concern for the government [in Asmara]".

The Eritrean president Isaias Afewerki is currently on a visit to East Sudan to inaugurate the Red Sea’s 7th Festival for Tourism & Shopping.

His Sudanese counterpart took the opportunity to accuse unspecified nations of seeking to undermine the relations between the two countries and stressed that tensions which were prevalent in the 90’s is something of the past.

BREAD CRISES.

SEEN Denies Being Party to Bread Crisis

Khartoum - SEEN Flour Company declared it is not a party to the bread crisis witnessed in Khartoum state in the past few days.
The company affirmed that its mills have not been stopped and the quantities of flour given to major and smaller distributors were not decreased, a fact which in turn signifies that the quantities delivered to bakeries has not been decreased.
To the contrary, the SEEN's mills have been working at full capacity to compensate for the shortage caused by the stopping and decreasing of shares of production by other companies' mills, the company said.
The company's media consultant added that SEEN is committed morally and strategically to secure the flour commodity, saying in the meantime that it was strange that the bakery union should blame mill companies and called on the union not to generalize accusations concerning the issue.
The names of the companies which had stopped or decreased their production during the crisis must be revealed, said the consultant and denied that the management of SEEN would resort to pressuring the Central Bank of Sudan (CBOS) through decreasing production and flour shares so as for the problem to be fully resolved.

Editoriale: Oro o gomma arabica
Secondo Gum Consiglio araba segretario generale, il dottor Abdul Magid Abdul Gadir, benefici Sudan solo di circa l'8 per cento dalla gengiva grandi potenzialità arabi di più di 500 mila chilometri.
Egli ha sottoposto che alla mancanza di manodopera come fatiche preferiscono andare in siti minerari tradizionali che lavorare nel settore Gomma arabo oltre all'esiguità dei fondi ai produttori.
La prescrizione negativa sopra potrebbe essere applicato anche in tutti i prodotti agricoli.
Tuttavia, la mancanza di manodopera e l'abbandono dell'agricoltura a favore delle tradizioni minerarie oltre alla mancanza di finanziamenti meritano seria considerazione.
Il Primo Vice Presidente, che è il presidente del programma Rinascimento Agricoltura, ha diretto dando la massima priorità per il finanziamento del settore agricolo si considera che il governo dovrebbe concentrarsi in agricoltura per colmare il divario tra il reddito nazionale provocato dalla riduzione dei proventi del petrolio dopo il Sud Sudan secessione.
Manpower abbandono dell'agricoltura a favore delle attività di estrazione tradizionale è naturale, perché i ricavi del settore agricolo sono più bassi e più faticoso.
Nonostante l'importanza della produzione di oro e il suo notevole contributo nel reddito nazionale, ma ancora non è la sostituzione appropriata per l'agricoltura.
Pertanto, ci deve essere equilibrio nel dirigere la produzione agricola che è un continuo e sostenibile e al tempo stesso non dipendere minerali che hanno attirato sia la manodopera specializzata e non che sognano di diventare ricchi in un tempo molto breve.
Va da sé che l'agricoltura è la vera ricchezza del Sudan, da cui deve essere data la preoccupazione desiderato dalla Presidenza.
Proponiamo che istituisce un comitato di consulenza di esperti agricoli per essere attaccati direttamente alla Presidenza, di elaborare piani a breve termine ea lungo termine per migliorare questo settore.
Le raccomandazioni del comitato proposte sarà sicuramente portare a realizzare il programma di agricoltura rinascimentale se applicato sotto il diretto controllo della Presidenza.
Qualsiasi notevole miglioramento nel settore agricolo si ri-attrarre coloro che stanno lavorando nei tradizionali siti minerari di tornare alle loro fattorie, ritenendo che essi wok in minerario tradizionale dipende solo dalla fortuna che non poteva essere lì, a differenza del settore agricolo che, se è dato il meritato preoccupazione, ci renderà in cima al mondo con le nostre terre coltivabili vaste.
