Darfur Peace Agreement? By Ambassador mo
No, at least not yet, but a draft document outlining basis for concluding the conflict has been adopted by the “All Darfur Stakeholders Conference” that just concluded in Doha, Qatar. United Nations-backed inclusive consultations on the conflict in Darfur, Sudan saw delegates voicing support for a draft document that will form the basis of a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive peace agreement. (From Doha Communique, Statement from UN Representative Ibrahim Gambari & UN News Centre)
Basis for Ceasefire & Peace?
The All Darfur Stakeholders Conference “called on the Government of Sudan and the Armed Movements to make every effort to reach a permanent ceasefire and a comprehensive peace settlement on the basis of this document,”
The gathering brought together high-ranking representatives of the Government of Sudan, Darfur movements, civil society delegates, representatives of internally displaced persons (IDPs), Sudanese political party leaders and elected members of state legislatures and the national parliament from Darfur.
In their final communiqué, participants noted that significant progress had been made on compensation and return of IDPs and refugees; power sharing and administrative status of Darfur; wealth sharing; human rights and fundamental freedoms; permanent ceasefire and final security arrangements; and mechanism for internal dialogue and implementation modalities.
Situation Remains Precarious in Darfur
The conference, however, noted that despite the progress in the negotiations, the security situation in Darfur remained precarious.
“Given the direct humanitarian consequences of this situation, the Conference called upon the Doha negotiating parties to abide by the ceasefire and cessation of hostilities agreements already signed. The conference strongly urged all the other armed movements of Darfur and the Government of Sudan to end hostilities and to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Government of Sudan,”
