Cairo , July 7(Darfur 24)
The head of the Sudan Liberation Movement and leader of the Democratic Bloc, Arko Minawi, said that our principle regarding stopping the war has not changed.
He called on the Coordination of Civil Democratic Forces, “Taqaddam,” to sit with them as political forces devoid of any representation of the Rapid Support Forces and the UAE, as he put it.
Yesterday, Saturday, a conference of political forces was held in Cairo to discuss stopping the war. The conference began in difficulty before the Sudan Liberation Movement, the Popular Movement, and the Justice and Equality Movement refused to sign the final statement.
In statements to “Darfur 24,” Minawi described the final statement of the Cairo conference as a “theatrical play,” saying that “we observed features before the conference indicating that some arrangements had been prepared in advance.”
Minawi said that the final statement was made without their approval, noting that the issue of condemning the Rapid Support crimes represented a point of contention, in addition to the fact that the conference agenda was not discussed in detail.
Minawi explained that the positions of the other parties are unclear and confused due to the overlapping of relations with the Rapid Support and the UAE with the continued violations, at a time when he renewed his willingness to sit with everyone, demanding clarity of positions, according to him.
The final statement of the Cairo Conference condemned all violations committed in the war, stressing. On the need to adhere to the Jeddah Declaration and consider the mechanisms for its implementation and development to keep pace with developments in the war, calling on countries and parties supporting the parties to the war with any form of direct or indirect support, to stop igniting more flames of war in Sudan.
