Darfur LJM sends advance delegation to Khartoum
September 7, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — An advance delegation of the former rebel Liberation and Equality Movement (LJM) is expected to arrive Wednesday in the Sudanese capital Khartoum in accordance to a peace deal they signed in Doha last July.
Tuesday’s fight was supposed to arrive during the night to Khartoum and the LJM, which was mobilizing supporters in the capital, preferred to postpone it.
Composed of 21 members, the advance delegation is led by LJM vice-chairman, Ahmed Abdel Shafi, Niam as head of political committee, Ahmed Fadul spokesperson of the former rebel group. The aircraft is to arrive in Khartoum at 02:40 pm.
The team will remain in the capital for seven days for meeting with the government officials to prepare the launch of the Doha peace agreement they signed on 14 July before the return of their leader Tijani El-Sissi who is currently in London.
Then they will tour five towns in Darfur including South Darfur capital Nyala, North Darfur capital El-Fasher, West Darfur El-Geneina, Zalengi and Al-Daein, the two last cities are to be declared capitals of two new states that should be established soon with the Darfur Transitional Authority.
A military delegation, headed by Bahr Idriss Abu Garda is already in Darfur since last August.
The return of the rebel delegation coincides with the eruption of fighting in the Blue Nile besides Southern Kordofan between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-North).
Fadul, LJM spokesperson, called on the army and SPLM to stop the clashes and to engage internationally or regionally brokered talks to resolve their dispute. He also urged to allow foreign and local aid groups to work in the war-torn regions.

Mr Abdel Shafi should not be surprised if he notice that the Arabs in Khartoum remain unchanged as did by Mr Arcue Minawe six years ago.
You need to come to Khartoum only when you have guranteed some concret outcomes like SPLM. Otherwise Mr Minawe is a living example to struggle soon or later.
