Sudan summons top UNAMID official to protest reports of non-cooperation
December 3, 2009 (KHARTOUM) — The Sudanese government on Thursday summoned the acting head of the hybrid peacekeeping mission in Darfur (UNAMID) to voice anger at accusations of lack of cooperation reported this week to the UN Security Council.
Sudanese foreign ministry conveyed strong protests to the UNAMID Acting Joint Special Representative, Henry Anyidoho over the non-cooperation of the government in the deployment of the hybrid forces, said the official news agency SUNA on Thursday.
Mutrif Siddig, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Anyidoho for clarification about the circumstances of the report which does not reflect the government’s cooperation in the deployment of the hybrid operation.
The foreign ministry further said this report goes against what came out of the seventh meeting of the tripartite mechanism between Sudan, the African Union and the United Nations held in Khartoum on October 16.
According to SUNA, the Acting Joint Special Representative pledged to investigate the issue and brief Sudanese government about the outcome of his probe.
In a report issued on 16 November, the UN secretary general said freedom of movement continues to be a serious concern for UNAMID and many of the agencies in Darfur. He said Sudanese government frequently denied access to the camps of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the restive region.
He added that “UNAMID patrols have been confronted with warning shots, guns pointed at convoys and low overflight by SAF military helicopters in a threatening manner”.
The UN chief further spoke about direct threats against the mission by the Sudanese officials. “On 17 August 2009, UNAMID received a letter from the Civil Aviation Authority in El Geneina stating that two UNAMID helicopters had flown over a Government military base, and warning that if that were to reoccur, the Sudanese military would shoot down UNAMID aircraft.”

Sudan summons top UNAMID official to protest reports of non-cooperation
The Ja’alyeen tribal government in Khartoum is responding in the same all fashioned way of threatening, intimidation and bullying.
These Ja’alyeen tribal leaders are accussing the AU and the UN mission of being bias against them. If they are not Africans, they should quit the AU and if they are not in the World, they should also quit the UN and join the arabs league where they are called Zurga, samara and sharmus which means stupid niggers and prostitutes who will call themselves Africans and Arabs while they are negroes Africans.
The AU-UN mission should and must steer clear with their statements and not yields to intimidations, threats, bullying and summoning that they are facing against this Ja’alyeen tribal and NIF/NCP thuggery government in Khartoum.
