Since the May 10 attack by the rebel Justice and Equality Movement on the Sudanese capital, the Sudanese president says there will be no cessation of hostility with the group. He also rejects to hold peace talks with this rebel group and describes it as “terrorist movement.”

Sudanese government affirmed its readiness to accept a cessation of hostility with the rebel movements in Darfur provided it will be observed and it will have no effect on the right of government to protect its international borders.

Amin Omar Hassan, the head of the government delegation to the consultative meeting of the international partners on Thursday said that ceasefire is a necessary step to begin serious and effective peace talks. He further renewed government commitment to the political process as the only way to solve the Darfur crisis.

Addressing the meeting which was held in Geneva, Omer blamed the rebel divisions and intransigence despite the efforts exerted by the international community to reunite them.

He said that the international community does not show enough decisiveness about these rebel movements, calling to treat rebels, who are not willing to peace and engaged in terrorist acts, as terrorist movements shunned by the international community.

Amin urged to work towards completing the effort to unify the rebel movements that are willing to negotiate.

He also said the Sudanese government conducts dialogues and establishes understandings with all political forces on national issues, especially the Darfur crisis as it will work to strengthen the role of civil society in resolving the problem and prepare for the Darfur-Darfur Dialogue through reconciliation and normalization of relations between ethnic groups in the province.

Amin said that the “terrorist attack” on Khartoum proves that some movements seeking power in a non-democratic stressing that the attack was instigated and supported by the Chadian government.

He further demanded the international community to protect the Sudanese refugees in Chad and also asked that European forces deployed in eastern Chad to have a role in preventing child recruitment.

He reiterated that peace was a priority for the Sudanese government as the peacekeeping is a top priority including activation of the hybrid operation and assistance with what can provide to respond to the needs of troops and complete the security arrangements with the movements signatories to the peace agreement.

    It is a true, more and the most justice if Amin Omar has just learnt that what is happening is killing of people, whom he is responsible for. A Truly leader should be like Amin Omar Hussien Bashiir. A man who is bringing peace(s) to Sudan. Have thanks in the eyes of “Allah or God” before your final judgment comes. Congratulation! His highness our president for the vision you have played.
    To these Darfur, be advised that whatever work done is through sweat and move of some distance. Be calm for your cry has been heard in heaven and parts of the world. Tomorrow is Sunday and let’s all go & bow our heads down to chase away this evil spirit with our leader His Ex.
    Tell the right , and the right will set you free.

    Hi Sudan Omar

    He who tells truth does not dy of false suspicion, you are to blame when your words are not effected.

    In Abuja Nigeria Nimeri said he would not talk with Garang Team but Garang alone also saying he would not post for a photo with rebels but all were resmantled since it was rubbish statement though by President.
    Consensus is the better way of tying nodes of your enemy with signed resolution.

    JEM was very right to shake evil-Khartoum for pain is the experience of wound.
    I hope before you(Omar) would dy bring peace to Darfur so that you would not carry credits of bllody war of then and today.

    Learn please!!!

    Oh, they have got it, that is how Jalabas or Mukuru can be provoked, imagine if it was not the attack of Khartoum, who was going to turn up for the peace talk?

    I would advice all the Darfur factions to be united and refuse their planed talk, what is not possible?, just organize yourselves properly and capture Khartoum to put un end to this disportic government of this eveil Bashir !

    They treated our mother SPLA like that in the past, they they were not giving up, so if you can reach Khattoum,then you are more than SPLA, just get us that Capital please !

    Khartoum belongs to the black Sudanese, not the Arabs who came as trders, so they deserve nothing unless otherwise……………..
