The splinter faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement under the leadership of Ahmed Ibrahim ‘Kazaski’ (SLM-AK) has denied it signed the Juba Peace Agreement and joined the Sudan Revolutionary Front faction headed by Minni Minawi (SRF-MM).
The faction’s vice president, Ali Hamed, reported from Juba on Thursday that he had signed the peace agreement on behalf of the rebel group, in the presence of the South Sudan mediation team. At the time, Kazaski was reportedly in France due to an emergency.
Kazaski said in a statement Friday that no one was told to sign the agreement, explaining that: “Our vision and our position are clear. We refuse to sign the Juba peace agreement. “
He also stated that they will not apply to join the SRF.
The government and most of Sudan’s armed movements signed a comprehensive peace agreement last week. All major armed movements in Sudan are involved in the peace agreement, except for the Sudan-North People’s Liberation Movement led by Abdulaziz El Hilu (SPLM-N El Hilu *) in South Kordofan and parts of Blue Nile state. and the main Sudan Liberation Movement under the leadership of Abdelwahid El Nur (SLM-AW **).
Rejection renewed
The General Coordination of the Displaced and Refugee Camps in Darfur renewed its rejection of the Juba Peace Agreement, describing it as “partial, not complete.”
El Shafee Abdallah, a leading member of the Coordination, described the agreement as “a peace of quotas and positions that does not represent the Sudanese people as much as the signatories,” he told Radio Dabanga.
“We assure the international, regional and local communities that peace is irrelevant as long as justice has not been done and as long as the wanted persons are not taken to the International Criminal Court in The Hague”, which in 2009 and 2010 issued arrest warrants against the former President Al Bashir. arrest for alleged atrocities committed during the conflict in western Darfur.
Abdallah reiterated that the displaced and refugees from Darfur support the internal dialogue initiative proposed by Abdelwahid El Nur, co-founder and director of the Sudan Liberation Movement, to achieve a just and complete peace, security and complete stability in the country, with the participation of all the Sudanese people.
The Governor of East Darfur has called on El Nur, who currently lives in the French capital Paris, to return to Sudan and lead the peace initiative, in order to ensure that the problems in Darfur are fully addressed.
Refugees get lost
Sudanese refugees in Chad told Radio Dabanga that they welcome the peace agreement in Juba, however, they regret their absence from participating in the negotiations and the broader peace process.
Sheikh Ibrahim Salih, one of the sheikhs from the Kounongou refugee camp in eastern Chad, said he welcomes the Juba peace agreement signed between the rebel movements and the government.
“We have heard, like others, of the signing of the peace agreement without our participation, and we are the owners of the cause.”
The sheikh made it clear that, as refugees, they support a just and comprehensive peace that preserves all of their rights as refugees. They do not support a peace that “stays on paper and is never applied on the ground.”
In an interview with Radio Dabanga last month, Ahmed Adam, a Darfurian specialist in international law and conflict resolution, said that the peace agreement contains a number of risks, “the most important of which are the absence of regional guarantees. and international and the lack of donors and financiers, in addition to the fact that the two main rebel groups have not yet signed the peace agreement, the continuing insecurity in Darfur and the situation of displaced people and refugees.
“New wars may break out if the implementation of the peace agreement fails due to lack of funds,” he warned.
