Sudan reiterates its willingness to negotiate with Darfur rebels
Mr. Presidential Assistant and chief negotiator in the Darfur peace talks, there is no need for calling one party for the talk and leave the other one.
How do you expect this to bring peace and stability to the region of Darfur? I know very well that the JEM you are preventing to negotiate with you will still be a source of trouble still in the region.
Don’t mind of your power and economic status but discuss with all of the rebel parties so the peace and stability is achieved in the Darfur region.
Though your governmet in Khartoum has proven to be too chivinstic and sort of parochialism, there is an international need for the peace to prevail in Darfur.
Shame on you who live through making other human to suffer. Your days will end in darkness.
