U.S. special envoy to skip El-Fasher’s international meeting on Darfur

July 3, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — The U.S. special envoy to Sudan Scott Gration will not be present at a meeting for international envoys that will be held in North Darfur’s capital city of El-Fasher, sources tell Sudan Tribune.

Among the attendees is the Chinese envoy to Africa Liu Guijin, Russian envoy to Sudan Mikhail Margelov, joint United Nations and African Union mediator Dijibril Bassole along with officials from the Arab League and Europe.

Sudan state media said that the purpose of the meeting is to review the security and humanitarian situation the war ravaged region and evaluate the progress of the political process that is currently underway in the Arab Gulf state of Doha.

Today the Chinese envoy urged all parties to Darfur conflict to negotiate a political solution saying that is the only way to resolve the seven years old crisis.

A source close to the meetings that start on Monday attributed Gration’s absence to “disagreements” between the head of the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) Ibrahim Gambari whose headquarters are in El-Fasher.

“Gration does not like the fact that Gambari wants to play a greater role in Darfur’s political process and feels that he is pulling the rug from under him” said the source who asked not to be named.

African diplomats privately say that there is a silent behind the scenes competition between the UN-AU joint mediator and the head of the AU High Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) Thabo Mbeki. The latter, backed by the AU Commission chief Jean Ping, is reportedly trying to take over the Darfur dossier from Bassole.

    Alas; people in dead bed, and instead of to think who will take them to hospital; they compete and dispute on who will burry them alives. What a shame! Gambari who sold innocent people of Mayanmar to their Junta is today repeating the game in Darfur. The objective of US Envoy to Sudan Gration to stick his nose on Darfur was just to stop what he believe that Darfur crisis internationally overshadows South Sudan independent. However; he forgot that people of South Sudan survived 23 years of all kinds of humilation without single person shed tears on them. The stage People of South Sudan have reached with inspiration from Late Hero Garang was %90 struggle and perseverence. They don’t need a person such as Gration who still beleive that NCP is so strong to threaten people of South Sudan and advising Kirr to forgive and forget! For me the absent of Gration was due to his failure in Sudan because of his great lack to understand the complication of Sudan problems unlike the US former envoy to Sudan Nigropond.
    On the otherhand, Russia and China the communist block first need to go to political school to read politcs. These two countries despite of the killing weapons weight they have ; but never contributed even to resolve their countries political problems. So how can they give what they don’t have it? Russa is looking market for his weapons and China is looking for both weapon market and Sudan mining resourses. Today I am a very old man but before I die I am also sure that the new generation of Darfur who grew up in refugees and IDPs camp will not allow anyone to mess up their just cause. The similar case will be in South of Sudan. The old new generation are different from us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The compliances to Darfur genocide China and Russia are today in hurry backing the futile Doha talks thinking that by so doing they will easily burry their inhumane history in Darfur. The genocide survivors have absolute confidence in their just cause and that reactionary forces of evils would not prevail over innocent people of good will that is why today in their death camps with one voice saying No to Doha fuss backing the unanimous call of Darfurians of justice and security before any peace. There is no way that Chinese and Russian can be constructors and destroyers at the same time, can they? before few days the hard-liner arrogant Nafie Ali Nafie visited China crying for the Chinese to continue supplying Khartoum’s genocide machinery with more weapons ,if they wants to protect their interests in Sudan; and today Chinese are meeting in Al-Fasher to liquidate the cause of Darfur, what a shame. Chinese and Russia should first issue public apologia and pay for the destruction caused by their armaments before thinking to poke their noses in the Cause of Darfur. As for U.S presidential envoy Gration he turned every stone to achieve personal triumph at the expense of t dying and suffering people and it’s only after his project failed he was skipping the very meetings he did every thing to create. Thanks to the gallant efforts exerted by anti-Gration lobbyists in U.S that brought today’s skipping. Regarding Gambari and Bassole they are seeing their work in Darfur as heaven -sent opportunity that crossed their life time once therefore, they wants to enrich themselves as much as possible before the termination of their service in Darfur. The people on the ground are dying and they do not even condemn it verbally and in stead they are disputing who will take over to maximize his personal interest. Shame on them.

    Dear Mr. Mohamed Atta, sorry Mohamed Ali, I know that after you have lost South Sudan and now on brink of collapse to loose Darfur and other parts of Sudan that will include not only Hallaib but port Sudan as I was told by one of the Egyptian; now in NISS office you have decided to play good boys. The word WEEEEE, that you would much like to use it is OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, if you believe or not. Sudan will never be as it was in your hands 60 years ago. I wish if Chinese or Russian responded to my comment, whom you killed with their made weapons about three millions just only in South Sudan and an other million today in Darfur. South whom you have described them as Kufaars, have already have their choice, but people of Darfur whom you deemed Muslims but legalized their bloods because they are Africans to substitute them with Arabs; have already chozen to go back to the religion of their grandfather Moses Peace of Lord be with Him. They have started changing their names to African names, while those fled the killing to state of Israel and were highly welcomed as their lives are saved are now adopting Judaism, which is also a word of God. Therefore; give it five years time you will rage war again against the people of Darfur because people of Darfur have left Islam which on its name the genocide is committed on them. Please do not forget to invite Ben Ladin and Zawhiri in you coming holly war on people of Darfur.
