Government builds up troops to attack Darfur rebels in Jebel Marra – IDPs
July 14, 2009 (WASHINGTON) — Darfur Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) said today that Sudanese army is building up troops near Jebel Marra in western Darfur in order to dislodge fighters of a rebel group that refuse to take part in the Doha peace process from the area.
Many of the IDPs that had already been displaced several times since the conflict began in 2003, are living in camps around the Jebel Marra in areas as Dom Jong, Fujo, Fatma Karal, Kutrum, Kwila, Boldong, Kati and Kurifal.
After the militia attacks against civilians, the displaced choose to be near the Sudan Liberation Movement rebels led by Abdel Wahid Al-Nur to protect them from militia attacks.
Abu Sharati told Sudan Tribune from Darfur that International community should dissuade and press Khartoum from carrying attack on the mountainous areas where are the SLM rebels.
He added that the air bombing that they Sudanese troops used to carry out would reach the IDPs camps, and “government should be keen to protect lives of its own citizens.”
He said army closed main routes in the region: Jeneina –Nyala, Nyala El-Fasher and Melit El-Fasher to transport troops.
Al-Nur troops based in the mountains say they observe ceasefire they signed in 2004 with Khartoum and do not take parts in the attacks against the government troops.
However the rebel group refuses to join the Doha peace process asking the government to disarm the militias and to organize the return of IDPs to their homes.

Government builds up troops to attack Darfur rebels in Jebel Marra – IDPs
For people of Darfur the currenet government is not care of what the world talking about even they ignored the ICC of their crimes,you know why? because they thought will remain ruling for ever and no one can take over again.This is their plans to turn the whole country to the kingdom, and it’s clear from this new preperation of attaking according to the [IDP] spoksman and that’s true because of the new secert weapons bought from China, although the world is watering to put off the burning fire all over the country but unfortunately they pour the flamy mass. So be awarenss,they will use the new weapons to attack Marra mountain .
But I beleive the time will come to the end soon
