President Al-Bashir answers questions raised by American Worshipers at the Mosque of Detroit regarding Darfur Khartoum

Feb. 24 (SUNA) - President of the Republic Field Marshal Omer Al-Bashir said only 19 administrative units in the three States of Darfur are affected by the conflict out of 122 units, refuting the misleading and inflated reports in this connection.

This came as he addressed Friday to the members of the Nation of Islam and the worshippers at the Mosque of Detroit city in the United States after Friday Prayer through video conference.
The President said many American Organizations and media tried to magnify the figures about those who are affected by the conflict in Darfur by saying that some 400,000 person were killed in Darfur.

The President moreover referred to the report of a 12-member committee from the American government and the National Scientific Academy, who affirmed that the information, data and procedures about the death toll in Darfur were untrue and subjective and lack credibility.

Answering questions raised by the audience, President Al-Bashir said the issue of Darfur could have been solved by the traditional norms and native administration but the issue was complicated by foreign interventions.

The President explained that Sudan signed N'djamena ceasefire agreement in April 2004 which was not respected by the rebels as well as the Abuja Peace Agreement and that the rebels were rewarded by more pressures on the government a matter which encouraged some countries to extend weapons and ammunitions to them while the international community and the African Union turned a blind eyes.

In this connection, the President explained that Sudan has embarked on talks with the rebel movements which did not sign the Abuja Peace Agreement and have been destabilizing the situations in the whole region.

As for the issue of the peacekeeping in Darfur, the President it was assigned to the African Union troops according to Abuja Peace Agreement, which was witnessed by the USA, UK, EU, UN and the AU, explaining that surprisingly Sudan was subject to pressures to transform these forces into international forces.

The UN's resolution No. 1706 affirmed the doubts that peace in Sudan was not the objective because it included restructuring of police and judiciary of Sudan as well as supervise the human rights in Sudan which means putting Sudan under tutelage in a similar way like the allied forces in Iraq, affirming rejection to the resolution 1706 as well as the international forces.

President Al-Bashir explained that Sudan has accepted the 3-stage UN plan with regard to the peace achievement in Darfur, explaining that the implementation of the first phase is underway and that Sudan raised reservations over some points in the third phase, saying that the African Peace and Security Council issued resolution last December with respect to these reservations and that the government and the UN's Security Council have accepted the African resolution.
