South Darfur state to relocate Kalma residents in two camps
August 21, 2010 (KHARTOUM) — South Darfur state unveiled today plans to relocate the residents of the troubled Kalma camps into two areas near the state capital Nyala.
Then, the Governor of South Darfur Abdel Hamid Musa Kasha described the camp as “a den of criminals fleeing from justice” he further announced the removal of the camp adding it lies near the railway station and Nyala Airport. This proximity to the airport increases the “security threat for UNAMID planes,” he stressed.
Abdel Karim Mousa Abdel Karim, Deputy Wali of South Darfur, told the government funded (smc) that the residents of Kalma would be relocated in two camps with a capacity of 25 to 30 thousand people, equipped with all basic services.
The space per house will be between 150 to 200 meters, he added.
The new camps will be located in southern Nyala, the capital of South Darfur in an area called Bileel.
He also said machineries for construction and wells drilling were dispatched to the sites to start works. He added the relocation will be implemented after completion of the construction of new camps.
Kalma, home of around 100,000 people, witnessed in August 2009 one of the most dramatic clashes between the residents and the Sudanese security forces where some 30 people had been killed and many others wounded.

The regime in Khartoum always misdiagnosises Sudan problems begining from South Sudan up to Darfur genocide today. I don’t know if they are stupid consultants or they just play fools. If the relocation of IDPs camp can resolve Darfur problem that started with guns let them do that. However; I am sure that they will recognize that its was a wrong solution.
The addressing of the root causes of the conflicting and making concessions; I think its a right direction toward acchieving peace in the region not only in Sudan. I say this, because Darfurian oppositions to this regime are not in Kalma IDPs camp who wait for basic needs from international NGOs but in all Sudan and also in Khartoum including those among you who are on power. By the way the numbers are increaing on daily basis!!!!!!!!

The Janjaweed leader and Darfur genocide engineer Musa Kasha should stop his nonsense talking, the prescription of Kasha to genocide survivors as “den of criminals fled justice” reveals the ill-intention of the genocidaire Kasha towards these innocent civilians, who told Kasha that the IDPS of Kalma constitute threats to the UNAMID airplanes. Did the UNAMID filed a case saying that the IDPs threats their planes? The regime’s intention is to relocate IDPs who support its plan of peace from within and displace or arrest the rest as having links with the rebels, therefore I call upon the International Community to stop the regime from continuing its crimes which is against the International laws.

The relocation of Kalma IDPS camps in an integral part of the systematic genocide strategy adopted in Darfur it is the last chapter of dispossession the Darfur indigenous from their original land, it not mean relocate them in new camps but resettle them in new town where they will dwell forever, the darfurian intelligentsias in Sudan or in Diaspora should open their eyes widely and react courageously to abort this apparent tentative of basher to deliver Darfur land to the new settler brought from abroad.

The security issues of Kalma IDP camp is a major concern, but relocation will not resolve the problems.
Will the world community remain as a by-stander if the forceful dismantling of Kalma camp is to begin?
The continuous deterrioration of security situation in Darfur requires a swift corrective action to restore human dignity thorough adequate security and justice as mechanisms of stability leading to sustainable peace.
