Kasha Calls for Strict Supervision of UNAMID Operations
(SV)
The Governor of Southern Darfur, Abdel Hammed Musa Kasha, accused UNAMID of allowing arms into Kalma camp in Southern Darfur for members of Abdul Wahid's rebel movement and providing assistance to them.
In his meeting with the UNAMID mission in Nyala, the Governor directed all executive and security bodies to raise supervision and inspection measures with respect to the movement of UNAMID personnel and foreign national travels in airports. In addition, the Governor instructed that UNAMID vehicles be prohibited from passing through public roads within the city. In case these instructions are ignored, the Governor directed that violators be arrested.
"All foreigners within the state are not complying with the laws. The Government has requested them to maintain roads but they refused," he said. The Governor expressed his regret for non-cooperation of the mission with the state government in handing over those members of Abdel Wahid movement accused of causing havoc in the camp, killing civilians and forcing many of them to leave the camp. "They even participated in plots to assassinate the camp's sheikhs who participated in the Doha Peace Negotiations.
Governor Kasha said personnel from organizations and UNAMID will not be allowed to carry out work that is incompatible with their mission. He considered their violations of government instructions as being a neo- colonialization and gross violation of the country's sovereignty. "It is regrettable that mission refuses a request from the state government to interfere and save the lives of innocent people in the camp on the ground that their delegation did not permit them to do so while at the same time they provide protection to members of Abdel Wahid's movement and evacuate their injured," he said.
"We again request them to cooperate otherwise they should leave from the same door through which they entered the country," he said.
Kasha then read out a statement that the security forces had found in the possession of one of Abdel Wahid's group within the camp. The statement called for the liquidation of 16 of the Darfur leadership, 15 members of the Dajo and 12 from the Al Bargad who had participated in Doha Peace Negotiations, in addition to the liquidation of any one who cooperated with them.


On his part, the commissioner of Bileel locality, Mohammed Hamid Khamis, said that there was a conspiracy by Abdel Wahid faction to cause havoc within the camp for aborting the Doha Peace Negotiations. He added that the camp has been witnessing an unprecedented flight of the displaced into the town and Bileel area. He affirmed that gunshots were being heard until the last hours of the day and early hours of Friday morning within the camp. "We have managed to bury three of those killed while six of the injured were hurried to Nyala Hospital for treatment. There were many who have been killed and we could not bury them because we were not being able to enter the camp," he said. He added that the camp is still witnessing troubles with the road leading to Nyala being closed and transport suspended. Khamis added that the noise being heard from outside the camp indicated that heavy arms were being used by Abdel Wahid's group.
On the other hand, the state government has decided to form an emergency committee for containing the situation, with arrangements taken for persuading those who fled to come back to the camp.
The government of Southern Darfur has given UNAMID hours to hand over members of Abdul Wahid Mohammed Nur' group who took shelter with UNAMID after attacking Kalma camp to the police. The government has threatened to enter the camp by force if those were not handed over. UNAMID announced that it had raised the level of its preparedness by increasing the number of the forces within the camp to protect some 7 thousand displaced citizens, the majority of whom being women and children who sought shelter in UNAMID police stations. Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Ban Ki- Moon called on all parties to observe self-restraint and seek to prevent the increasing of violence within the camp.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide quoted Kiir as saying:
"I don’t think that there is any point where southerners will declare a unilateral independence. It is not up to us ... up to the South to declare an independent Southern Sudan without the process that we have agreed upon."

Washington and Khartoum .. The Other Face of Gration!
(Opinion)
After the positive and reasonable statements of the US Special Envoy to Sudan, General Scott Gration which was fiercely opposed by the eagles in the US Administration; the joke goes as saying that Gration has become NCP due to his seeing the full part of the cup in the Sudanese issue.
It is true that the US Special Envoy succeeded in preventing any clashes between the CPA partners since The Hague Arbitration all through the disputes between the federal government in Khartoum and the SPLM ruling south Sudan exclusively.
However, the US Administration system is complicated and interacting, so it could not be understood just in one time because that needs smartness and readiness to deal in retail.
In the US Administration system there is no permanent enemies or permanent interests; instead it is tactics and planning to share everything according to timing and the nature of that interests considering distinguishing to be the ripe fruits from the others.
For the third world nations, the US Administration requires that kind of government which achieves the Yankees' Empire interests so that the governments in those countries be tools in the hands of the US Administration to apply its strategy.
A week before Al Bashir's airplane landed in Chad, Gration arrived in Khartoum to see on the ground that the referendum will be conducted in a smooth and perfect manner without any violence.
In the same frame, Khalil stance and the engaged roles between Chad and Libya in the Darfur issue had its effective aspects in making the Sahel-Sahara summit devoted for Sudan.

In an attempt to spoil the African efforts, the ICC issued the second arrest warrant for President Al Bashir before the convening of the SEN-SAD summit.
Failing to achieve the ICC goals, the Yankees Empire came out with a call which is not strange for those who recognize how the US Administration works.
Unlike the calls of Obama during his electoral campaign in which he promised to make the change and to transform the darkness into light; the US State Department requested from the Chadian government to commit to the international law and arrest President Al Bashir to deport him to The Hague for trial!
The paradox is that the Sahel/Sahara summit was devoted to push Darfur peace process at a time when the US Administration was trying to ruin the region by calling on Idriss Debby to hand Al Bashir who landed in N'djamena as a special guest and was welcomed officially and popularly.
Back to Gration, he knows in anticipation the desire of the US Administration, but despite that he delivered honey and sugar wordings full of optimists which contradicts with the Yankee Empire understanding a matter that created a kind of confusion towards the US Administration intention in the area.
