US Congressmen urge Obama to work for one peace process in Sudan
November 22, 2011 (WASHINGTON) — US Congressmen urged the President Barak Obama to adopt a new approach with Sudanese government calling for a comprehensive settlement to the ongoing conflicts in Blue Nile, South Kordofan and Darfur and to promote democracy in the country.
The lawmakers said the “the United States must now adopt a Sudan policy that addresses and confronts the root of the problem: marginalization of the peripheries by Khartoum.”
Obama who backedthe South Sudan independence, supports Doha peace process to end the eight year conflict in Darfur and called on rebel groups to join a framework agreement to end the conflict adopted last May.
Princeton Lyman, Omaba’s envoy to Sudan also urged the SPLM-N rebels to negotiate with Khartoum and seek a solution to their dispute in line with the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA).
However, rebel groups in Blue Nile, Darfur and South Kordofan said they are determined to topple the Sudanese regime and to establish a secular regime based on voluntary unity and democratic principles.
The letter said the conflicts in Blue Nile and South Kordofan and Darfur prove that US “Administration’s policy toward Sudan must be reinvigorated to address the urgent humanitarian and civilian crises facing millions of Sudanese.”
The Congressmen disapproved Obama’s policy on Sudan saying it addresses only the “symptoms” of the problems in Sudan. Instead they called on Washington to ” refocus its current policy on mediation, democracy promotion, accountability, and civilian protection.”
The lawmakers expressed fear that the failure to take a swift action would increase the violence and “the peace that so many Sudanese hoped for will fade into the abyss of instability and war.”
White House Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough was yesterday in Juba where he urged Juba to stop its support to the Sudanese rebels. The official was previously in Khartoum where he urged Khartoum to lift the ban on international aid groups in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan.
Mc Donough further urged the two countries to mark progress in their discussion over the outstanding issues.
The Congressmen urged Washington to bring all the Sudanese parties in a one and comprehensive process for peace and structural democratic reforms instead of “stove-piped peace negotiations”.
The letter furthermore called on Washington to marshal the international community to support plans aiming to promote democracy in Sudan, and to provide assistance to civil society group, independent media and anticorruption initiatives.
They called to fight corruption and to promote “accountability in both Sudans”, including targeted financial sanctions against those primarily responsible for abuses and the businesses they control.
The members of the Congress also urged to investigate “evidence of ethnic cleansing in the Nuba Mountains and Abyei”.

Common Mr. Congressman say it – you want regime change. Stop tip-toeing around and hiding behind humanitarian bla bla. Your hawkish evil and satanical deceptive attempts of convincing peopleyou actually care fore the Sudanese people is bull. What about the pereferies of South Sudan that you take a blind eye approach to. You anti-arab anti-islamic approach is clear and those puppet rebels.

We know people like you, the rebel groups, groups in the US and US media is pumping up the stupid US public for another intervention. Keep fooling them with the same excuses. We need to save the poor innocent slaves from the evil arab muslims. Only an ignorant brainwashed idiot would believe that – but i guess the US is full of it. How else would they have clowns/people like you in government.

Fantastic! You talk like former president Bush-like a man!
Sudan is part of Africa-part of the world.But Oboma threats Sudan as a none human being country, just the way Sudan’s president threats his own people in the Sudan.

The US foreign policy has been shifting from taking the front seat as in Iraq and Afganistan to a level of active backbenchmen as in Libya and finally to that of a beckbencher for Sudan’s case. It is understandable that sovereignty of nations reverberate in the minds of the democrats as a lee way to palliating the perceived aggressive foreign policy during the Bush administration

Having said that, I fully endorse the position of the Congressmen to the Obama Administration and dear readers, let’s not underestimate this position instead take active role such as in Sudantribune forum, face book and others to charge the masses in Sudan to rise up against marginalisation and within no time, Al Bashir will be gone; that is when the UN will throw its whole weight

Only a brainwashed idiot would believe that, give us a break you racist bigot. We know people like you. SHEEP! Its ironic the labeling of the U.S public as stupid.

Master, stop insulting the Congressmen, your word show kind of desperate and frustration, and that the result of your poor judgement, what do you think if the world intervene in Libya and another countries which were better than what in Sudan, expect nothing you can do about it, “just crying” as the old Egyptian say. if your regime don’t recognize others then the result is what it is.
