Peace mediator urges Sudan to create suitable environment in Darfur
June 6, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — The Joint Chief Mediator has urged the Sudanese government to stop violence and restore confidence in the restive region of Darfur in order to create suitable environment for peace in the region.
“This will help promote reconciliation and create a climate of peace and security in Darfur,” he added.
Special Envoys for Sudan of China, Russia, Austria, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, the European Union and the League of Arab States as well as UN’s envoys to Sudan voiced “grave concern” over the deterioration of security situation and violence in Darfur during a meeting held Monday in El Fasher.
They called on the Sudanese government and rebel Justice and Equality Movement to end hostilities and engage dialogue.
The AU-UN mediator demanded to the Sudanese government to provide the necessary assistance to allow the participation of “all of the Darfuri civil society representatives” invited by the mediation to attend the 2nd Civil Society Forum on July 12.
The Sudanese authorities delayed the transit of the representatives of Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad via Darfur before their fight to Doha last week.
The mediation had announced it would work to reach a comprehensive peace agreement before the run of the referendum on self-determination for southern Sudan in January 2011. The two negotiating stakeholders — the government and Liberation and Justice Movement — agreed to reach a deal before the end of July.
SUDAN’S NEW STRATEGY ON DARFUR
Ghazi announced, in separate remarks he put out after the meeting, he would travel to Doha before July 15 stressing that the government delegation will present a set of ideas to activate the talks.
The meeting with Bassole “objectively reviewed the process as it did not achieve the desired outcome,” said Ghazi.
He however reiterated the government’s commitment to the Doha peace process, pointing out that the government will continue to implement the new strategy to deal with the problem of Darfur.
This strategy will be based, according to Ghazi, on “work near the citizen,” and focus on (1) delivering the dividends of peace process to the citizen, (2) building institutions of governance in Darfur, (3) peace and humanitarian issues, (4) along with relations with neighboring countries, and how to make it a positive factor to achieve peace in Darfur.
Gahzi is expected to brief the Sudanese parliament on the Doha peace process on Wednesday.

“This will help promote reconciliation and create a climate of peace and security in Darfur,” Bassole added.
Are you gone nuts? your friend Bashir, the killer of people of Darfur is free continues killing the innocent civilians and also threatning that Doha will be the last and he will then bring peace buy bullets. So Bassole you are putting the cottage before the horse. Its opposite, Security, Peace and reconcilaition if you have problem in understanding the ABC of peace processes.

Dear Friends,
If Southern Sudan seperate, NCP AND FRIENDS must be responsible for ? Why ,because the only symbolic unity of the country was on Late First Vice President and President of the Government of Southern Sudan Dr. John Garang and his party principles in which no one will apply in his absent, all his plans toward unity of the country ! Therefore allowed us to decide by ourselves whether good or bad it will be ours forever.Thank you.
