Darfur Rebel Group Resume Peace Talks: A Low-intensity
Conflict?
Sudanese News Updates
7 May 2009
Sudan's
government and Darfur rebel group the Justice and
Equality Movement resumed peace talks on Wednesday in
Qatar following an agreement signed in the Gulf state
in February.
Qatar's Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs Ahmad al-Mahmood urged both sides
to resolve the conflict as soon as possible, the
state-run Qatar News Agency reported.
Sudan and JEM signed a deal on February 17 that
included measures to aid and protect refugees in
Darfur and a commitment by both sides to continue
negotiations in Doha.
JEM and other Darfur rebels took up arms against the
government in 2003, demanding better representation
and infrastructure for the Western region. Khartoum
mobilised mostly Arab militias to crush the revolt but
denies United States accusations this amounted to
genocide.
International experts estimate about 200 000 people
have died and 2,5-million have been driven from their
homes. Khartoum puts the death toll at about 10 000.
Wednesday's meeting follows reconciliation talks
between Chad and Sudan that were held in Doha last
week. The porous border between the two African
countries has contributed to several conflicts,
including the civil war in Darfur region. - Reuters
