Kuwait to host donor conference for eastern Sudan
January 10, 2009 (KHARTOUM) – The oil-rich state of Kuwait will host donor conference for the reconstruction of eastern Sudan scheduled for March 2010.
On October 14, 2006, Sudanese government and East Front rebels, composed of the Beja Congress and Free Lions, signed a peace accord that was negotiated with Eritrean help and is aimed at ending a 12-year armed conflict.
Eastern rebels share the complaints of their counterparts in Darfur in the west and in southern Sudan that Khartoum fails to develop the regions while exploiting their natural resources. The drought-stricken east has some of the highest malnutrition rates in the country, yet is home to Sudan’s largest gold mine, its main port and a major oil pipeline.
Kuwait was selected to host the Donors Conference for Support to Peace in East-Sudan because it is a friendly country that supports Sudan aspirations and acceptable to the donors said Abu Obeida Duj, the Secretary General of the Fund for Support to Rehabilitation in East Sudan.
Duj said that the coming days will witness intensive diplomatic work so as to receive the contributions of the donor countries.
He further said that the fund is working to identify the projects that meet the aspirations of the citizens in eastern Sudan.

Why Kuwait to host Beja Front?
The Kuwaiti has no connections with these East African tribes peoples for the past history and Kuwaiti are not interesting about them.
More of all, Mesopotamian Baghdadi Asshuri Iraqi and Kuwaiti are interesting towards NOBIIN, not these peoples from Beja tribes belongs to Ethiopian.
Even though Darfuri connction with Qatar didn’t achive towards goal and now Khartoum wants close it, but they wouldn’t do that anyways.
The Qatar and Darfur are ONE.
Whatever the Baja or Eritrea, Ethiopia or Kenya, Mombasa or Fort jesus, those are not welcome in Mesopotamia.
Only Nubians are same peoples of IRAQ.
That’s all…
