Sudanese Government and Rebel Groups to Meet Today: AU - Rawan For Media Artistic and Production



The
African Union (AU) said Khartoum and the rebel movements have
officially agreed to participate in talks on security arrangements in
the states of Blue Nile, South Kordofan and Darfur in Addis Ababa.

The
head of the AU Liaison Office in Sudan, Mahmoud Kane, told Sudan Media
Center (SMC) that the Sudanese government and the rebel movements are
ready to resume talks on Wednesday, confirming all negotiating teams
will arrive in Addis Ababa on Tuesday.

He
said Khartoum informed the AU that its negotiating team for the Darfur
issue would be headed by the Darfur peace implementation follow-up
office state minister, Amin Hassan Omer, whilst the Presidential aide
Ibrahim Mahmoud Hamid will lead the delegation for talks on the Two
Areas.

Kane
also noted all Darfur movements and the Sudan People’s Liberation
Movement/North (SPLM-M) have named their negotiating teams, with the
exception of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM-AW) led by Abdel-Wahid
al-Nur.

The
Secretary General of the Popular Congress Party (PCP) and member of the
dialogue body known as 7+7 Kamal Omer, revealed Presidential aide
Ibrahim Mahmoud will travel to Addis Ababa on Tuesday. He is expected to
discuss with the rebel leaders the necessary guarantees for their
participation in the ongoing dialogue conference in Khartoum.

Omer
told Sudan Tribune he will also leave for Addis Ababa to convince
Darfuri rebels to participate in the dialogue conference, saying the PCP
would seek to capitalise on its good ties with the Darfur movements.

The
government spokesperson Ahmed Bilal Osman said the agenda of the talks
with the SPLM-N would revolve around the cessation of hostilities.
Negotiations on Darfur will be based upon the Doha Document for Peace in
Darfur (DDPD).

He
pointed out a dialogue preparatory meeting including the government,
rebel umbrella Sudan Revolutionary Forces (SRF) and the National Umma
Party (NUP) would be held subsequently if the government and the rebels
reached an agreement on the ending of hostilities.

Osman
said the mini preparatory meeting will be based upon the agreement
approved by the 7+7 committee and the Addis Ababa accord.

The
SRF and the NUP from one side, and 7+7 committee from the other, signed
an agreement on the 5th September 2014 comprising identical terms with
the AU High Implementation Panel (AUHIP) ‘on the national dialogue and
constitutional process.

Last
October, the AU announced a mini pre-dialogue meeting will be held with
the SRF and NUP, following security talks on the Two Areas and Darfur.
The Sudanese government agreed to take part in the meeting.

However,
the Sudanese president Omer al-Bashir instructed the 7+7 committee last
October to meet with the signatories of the Addis Ababa agreement.
