Muhammad Onor – Juba
The second delegation representing the Darfur factions meeting in Juba left for Libya on Wednesday.
This comes after an earlier delegation had left for Libya Monday evening.
The Darfur factions held a crucial meeting before the departure of the delegation and resolved to boycott the upcoming talks and to send, with the delegation heading to Libya, a memorandum demanding the postponement of the talks, in addition to other demands related to the situation on the ground in Darfur.
Before the delegation’s departure, Miraya FM asked the official responsible for the Darfur file in the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, Clement Jada, about the likely advantages of going to Libya in the light of the factions’ refusal to take part in the talks.
He said that the SPLM does not interfere in the factions’ stand in the talks and that the departing delegation knows very well the task that it is going to achieve in Libya.
Miraya FM learned that the factions that decided to boycott the talks until now include six of the factions of the Sudan Liberation Movement.
These are the faction of Ahmad Abd al-Shafi, the faction of Ibrahim Ahmad al-Ibrahim, the former secretary-general of Minnawi’s movement, the faction of Jar al-Nabi Abd al-Karim, the Unity Faction led by Abdallah Yahya, the faction of Muhammad Ali Kala’i, and the faction of the Group of 19 led by Khamis Abkar.
The same position is also adopted by a faction of the Popular Democratic Party. Meanwhile, Miraya FM could not get to know the positions of the two factions of the Justice and Equality Movement, the Justice and Equality Movement – Collective Leadership and Justice and Equality Movement – Corrective Movement led by Idris Azraq, in spite of their attendance of the crucial meeting.
